Hello everyone,
I would like to share our ideas and plans with you. Please take a moment to read through so you can understand our situation.
My husband and I already have a 2-year-old son, and we are planning for another child. We currently live in a large apartment above my husband’s parents on their property, which we would like to divide, reconfigure, and build our dream house on.
At the moment, the rooms feel generally too large for us, but we only have one child's bedroom and a very small office.
The biggest challenge in our planning is that it is important for us to have the master bedroom and the master bathroom on the ground floor. Two years ago, I had a cesarean section, and at that time my husband had a broken leg with several complications. So, the situation in our attic apartment was far from ideal.
Additionally, I am used to children having their own floor from my childhood home. Both parents and children always appreciated that arrangement, and I want to continue it.
We also keep in mind that later on, a child with a family or possibly a tenant might live upstairs.

What is the most important/basic question about the floor plan, summarized in 130 characters?
Since we want to limit the space, I would like to know whether you consider this realistic.
For the ground floor, I have two variants:
Variant A was our original plan. The bathroom features a kind of wet room inspired by Pinterest.
Variant D is the plan after much consideration on how best to utilize the space.
The upper floor remains unchanged.
The coat closet is planned to fit under the stairs as a built-in wardrobe.

Rooms with wastewater should be located relatively close to each other and ideally lead out on the same side of the house.

TaniHoney9015 Aug 2020 14:47Since I unfortunately forgot to attach the files and couldn’t find a way to edit the post, I’m adding the plans with measurements here.
For the stairs, we based the step height and steps on those of our current staircase and looked at some online resources. My husband then calculated it—he’s actually quite good at that. I didn’t realize it was too short. Thanks for the info!
The cloakroom is planned to be under the stairs, as mentioned in the first post.
We will reconsider the idea of the stove. THANK YOU

What I understand is that the administration is cooperative and can imagine adjusting the development plan for the future mixed-use or multi-dwelling project so that your planned details can still be incorporated. However, it might be possible—even for me, and certainly for @Escroda—to provide more concrete predictions if you upload a cadastral extract showing the current situation.
I never mentioned a walk-in closet. The estimated 2.70 m (8 ft 10 in) bedroom depth is not the only thing that makes me a bit nervous about accidentally injuring someone when I open the tape measure quickly. Even at the dining table, you can only comfortably converse with Germans here; there’s no room for lively Italian hand gestures. You can try to be economical with each piece of furniture individually, but overall, in every length and width, you need some extra space “with cream” or otherwise it will get tight. From my perspective as a former person with a severe disability, this house lacks generous movement space at every corner, without any “disability allowance.” You have to walk very carefully everywhere—hyperactive children definitely cannot run around freely in this layout. I don’t want to demonize space efficiency in principle, but if you currently believe you can downsize, test it out in practice by marking off restricted areas with painter’s tape in your present apartment where you think less space would be sufficient.

If the upper floor is going to be rented out later, I would also plan a staircase that properly separates the floors. As it is currently planned, the tenant would not have a private apartment entrance and would still have to walk through your hallway.
Children usually don’t live at home permanently and will probably prefer an apartment with a balcony rather than sitting in their parents’ or parents-in-law’s garden.
There are also stairlifts available to reach the upper floor if walking is not possible.
Best regards,
Sabine
