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.

As shown, the monitor would likely stand on the right side of the desk and would collide with the window sash that opens first. This is something you always need to consider carefully.
And if the desk is placed against the right-hand wall... where would the monitor go then?
Does the sofa have to stay there?
It’s a large room, but it’s also somewhat challenging to arrange it so that it feels cozy and functional. For example, the door is directly against the wall. There is quite a bit of space between the window and the wall on the left, but less on the right.
There must have been some idea of how the room would be used before the plan was submitted.
When will the room mainly be used? It’s for private use, right?

My wife also works there on the computer at various times during the weekdays.

Regarding sunlight that might cause glare: it’s the north side.
Do you have a desk? Are you right-handed? There are guidelines for that.
Everything else is about the feeling of the room.
And yes, I would never want to sit with my back to the door.
