Hello,
we are currently planning our dream house.
We have an appointment with an architect next week, but wanted to get your opinions on everything beforehand.
The house is oriented with the front facing northeast. The garden is at the back, facing southwest. The plot has a 21m (69 feet) frontage and about 29m (95 feet) in depth.
We want to set it up with 3m (10 feet) of free space, the house at 10.75m (35 feet), a 1m (3 feet) walkway between the house and garage, and then the garage about 6.25m (20.5 feet) wide.
Many might not understand the two larger walk-in closets upstairs since the planned children's room is smaller, but so far we haven’t found any other way to make that room bigger.
The two bathrooms (one with a shower and one with shower and bathtub) are important to us.
The biggest challenge I see right now is the staircase. Although I have looked through various stair catalogs and found one with a depth of 1.11m (3.6 feet) that would fit at the bottom, I’m not sure if everything will actually fit as planned. An alternative could be to extend the house in depth by about 50cm (20 inches).
Also, we’re still undecided about having a bay window or not. This is partly a question of the extra cost and partly because, with the bay window option, I have no idea where to put the TV.
I’m looking forward to your responses. Thanks in advance.
Best regards

Just wait for the architect. Everything else is a waste of time.

Many people will find the two larger walk-in closets upstairs confusing, since the planned children’s bedroom is smaller. However, we have not yet found another way to enlarge this room.Exactly! You have a 17.37 m² (187 ft²) bedroom and still need two walk-in closets (by the way, one of the closet doors doesn’t work) adding up to another 23 m² (247 ft²). So that’s a total of 40 m² (430 ft²) just for sleeping and storing clothes????!!!! But the child only gets 10 m² (108 ft²)???
Why do you need so much space???? 😱
There are quite a few issues here 😉
The staircase seems too small to me, but that could be misleading.
Personally, the living room lacks a cozy feel (sitting between doorways isn’t exactly comfortable).
I think the kitchen can be arranged well and functionally 🙂
Upstairs, the hallway is far too narrow and awkwardly shaped. The child’s room appears to be pushed into the farthest corner — at least that’s how it seems.
Also, the child has to pass by many doors, which may not be practical as they get older.
I also don’t see the purpose of floor-to-ceiling windows in the dressing room and bathroom — they don’t really look good in the visual presentation, in my opinion.
The floor plans lack structure, and I would suggest going to an architect without relying on these examples. 😉
