What is the most important/basic question about the floor plan summarized in 130 characters?
- Where could it still be optimized? Would you recommend different window dimensions or sill heights?
- What do you think is poor or what would you do differently?
- A partition wall will be added in the walk-in closet. That would theoretically allow watching TV from the bed. I am considering a lightweight wall. I plan to place a 211cm (83 inches) Pax combination wardrobe in the closet. The closet is planned with a raw width of 218cm (86 inches). Do you think 218cm is enough for the Pax once the walls are plastered, or how wide should the rough dimensions preferably be?
- Is the hallway on the ground floor too narrow?
- Would you raise the ground level? The house would be 40cm (16 inches) below street level. If I build a terrace into the garden, it would be about 1m (3 ft) difference. You could raise only the house level, resulting in approximately 1.6m (5 ft) difference between terrace and garden. I don’t know anyone living below street level. Raising the garden would probably not be allowed without permits, and affected neighbors likely wouldn’t agree. On the sides of the house adjacent to neighbors, raising is permitted only up to certain limits. I am overwhelmed with the decision.
- Do you have any ideas for arranging the sofa differently and placing the TV sensibly? My husband doesn’t want the sofa back facing a window. I still need to get used to placing the sofa in the middle of the room.
- Is the kitchen size sufficient for a nice kitchen with an island?

The front door is without any side elements because that would disrupt the symmetry.When misplaced priorities are unquestionably the top priority, my resignation probably needs no further explanation.https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

If misprioritization is unquestionably king, then I suppose my resignation needs no further explanation Well, skipping that also saves money, and we wouldn’t have been able to check anyway because we would have chosen frosted glass... so that’s not misprioritization.
Even though this topic may be overshadowed by more significant issues: at a distance of 4 m (13 feet) from the TV, you need a screen size of at least 75 inches diagonal for 4K content, ideally a bit larger (85 inches). This is simply due to the biological limits of your light receptors (also known as eyes). With a smaller screen size, you won’t be able to perceive the high resolution of the image anyway.
Hinging the front door the other way practically blocks off the coat area when you enter. Symmetry is overrated.
The coat area is much too small, the ground floor shower is unnecessary, so just a guest toilet to the right of the window, and then a narrow window on the wall to the left of the guest toilet. This provides plenty of storage and light in the hallway.
Otherwise, a lot has already been said.

Yes, I thought it over again. You’re right about the wardrobe. Also about the front door. I’m still not satisfied with it myself.
@11ant
Do you know which side of the roof window should be used for ventilation?I’m wondering if it matters or not?
Because of photovoltaic panels or heating.
Of course, it shouldn’t face south.
