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?

Maybe I missed something... definitely, if I look at the number of pages But you didn’t miss anything. This is a completely new development. Yes, I have thought about it—the floor plan would actually be different if a basement was desired. So far, I don’t have any additional information.
The structural calculations were made after the building permit / planning permission was granted. Maybe that’s why there are new findings now, since the structural analysis is finished.
But if possible, I would add a basement myself without making major changes. The staircase fits. The storage room would just be removed. The problem is if a new building application is required. For example, it also concerns the child benefit for home building, which you only get if the building application is approved this year.
Hopefully, I’ll know more by Monday.

Hopefully, I’ll know more on Monday. The deadline for submitting the building permit / planning permission to qualify for the child construction subsidy has been extended until March 31, 2021. So it could work out if you hurry up.

All these questions should actually be answered by your general contractor/planner, especially if the previously planned house gets suddenly thrown out from their side.My planner has been unresponsive for two weeks. As of today, we know why. It's just infuriating.
