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?

And sorry for the long thread. No problem.No, they’re not exactly cheap. Of course, they’re not like a typical hardware store door, but in my opinion, you can tell that just by looking at them. They also operate very smoothly and quietly.
At first, we wanted steel loft doors. Then I discovered the Planeo Loft and found it more timeless because of its delicate frame.
The single-leaf door to the dining room has a clear opening width of 1m (3 ft 3 in).

Where do you still see construction sites? It’s not me, but you who constantly spot new construction issues (or reopen old ones with a whisk). Reactions slow down as you approach saturation point, yet the frequency of your course corrections does not decrease. This means you are still going full speed ahead.

Also, I don’t understand the reference to nordlys. You can’t get an overview because you’re juggling new, modified, and resurrected then again modified floor plans in an almost unimaginable number, like a shell game operator—sometimes multiple times a day. I came up with the pun because “Lys” means “light” in High German, and Karsten often casts a dry, revealing light on the thread discussions.

Well, I tend to be very perfectionistic, always dissatisfied, and constantly afraid of missing something or doing something wrong.
I know, great starting point for building a house. At some point, it has to be good enough. I already find it quite nice. At least in my imagination. I’m still waiting for the new design. I don’t think I made too many mistakes. I’m very happy about the coat niche. I managed to fit in a lot of what I wanted. Still, some uncertainties remain. For example, whether the TV area will be sufficient. But I think it will work out. We’re allocating about 53 m² (570 sq ft) for kitchen, dining, and living areas. That’s not a small amount. It’ll turn out nicely.
