Hello everyone!
As some users have requested before, I’m now starting a new thread with the current planning of our detached house, which is about to be finalized.
These are the preliminary drawings for the building permit / planning permission application, and I have one last chance to review them and point out any issues.
It still seems to me that there is less than 1.20m (4 feet) of space between the two wardrobes in the dressing room. Or am I seeing this wrong? Apparently, the rooms on the left and right were overlooked and not adjusted accordingly.
Two Velux ceiling spotlights are still planned to illuminate the upper floor hallway.
In the basement, on the right side in the upper room, a window similar to the one on the left basement side is an option.
We still haven’t decided on the T30 fire-rated door to the garage, even though it is shown in the plans. Most likely, for safety reasons and the limited use of the kitchen at the other end of the house, we will eventually forgo it.
User 11ant pointed out that the right window in child’s room 2 is suboptimally positioned. However, this could still be changed after submitting the building permit / planning permission application. Our architect thinks moving the window to the left would negatively affect the house’s exterior appearance. We’ll have to see about that.

Would this be a feasible window layout on the first floor? Both are structurally sound; I have compared them side by side:
Above is the previous design,
below is the latest version, with the area marked in red where I recommended narrowing both “small” windows by 12.5 cm (5 inches) to avoid placing the window in child 2’s room right next to the wall.

Functionally, the first one would probably be preferable, while the second looks better from the outside. I tend to lean towards the first.
However, the question is whether it would be possible to plan the same window for Child 1’s room and the children’s bathroom, and then have just one fairly wide, centrally placed large window between these two windows in Child 2’s room. Wouldn’t that be an alternative with fewer compromises? Given the compromises already involved, I don’t really see much sense in having both a large and a small window in Child 2’s room.

You can also place a post between Child Room 2 and the bathroom instead of a wall.
The exterior view and symmetry are also quite important.
I personally wouldn’t be bothered at all by the window right next to the wall; both children's rooms will be very bright with these window areas.

and then in child 2 only a fairly wide large window centered between these two windows We already had that, and I was against it: it was wider than the room is deep and distorted the room’s proportions.

I’m wondering anyway, are you planning the house yourself? Or will it be Hotzenplotz’s design? Somehow it all seems a bit odd... But hey, maybe you’ll manage to have 1,000 posts about a house before the building permit / planning permission is submitted.
