ᐅ Floor Plan Optimization – Fireplace Issue

Hello everyone,

we are currently working on optimizing our floor plan and hope to get some good advice here.

A special focus is on the fireplace, which still does not meet our expectations. We would like to move the fireplace further east so that it is better positioned between the living room and dining room.

This would create a nicer room atmosphere and highlight the fireplace as a central feature between the two rooms.

The problem is that the chimney stack on the upper floor would then block the closet space in the master bedroom and also obstruct the door.

We are facing the challenge of finding a solution that considers both the fireplace on the ground floor and the room layout on the upper floor.

Does anyone have ideas on how we could solve this problem? Perhaps by relocating the doors or redesigning the hallway?

Maybe you have had similar experiences or creative approaches that could help us.

I look forward to your suggestions and feedback! I am attaching the floor plan so you can get a better idea.

Thank you in advance!

The fireplace does not necessarily have to be located directly next to the chimney. You can bridge a certain distance with pipes.
You also need to observe specific clearance distances to the neighbor for the chimney anyway.

I would reconsider the entire layout of the upper floor.

It could, for example, end up in the cloakroom, with the shower then shifting slightly upward on the plan.

Where exactly is the mentioned east?

And if the chimney above the bedroom is removed, you won't have any additional closet space. Who is that supposed to be enough for?

You are planning the bedroom as a walk-through room, which I would definitely change.

Where will the technical equipment be located?

Hi, why is that? What do you find problematic?

Hello, thank you for your reply. The "problem" is actually the chimney, or rather its placement...
So that the chimney has a suitable route on both the ground floor and the upper floor...
