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

Swap the bathroom and the children's room. Make the dressing area C accessible from the bedroom. Assign the rest to the children's room. I don’t understand the staircase. Do you need 10m² (108ft²) just for the stairs? Plus a hallway next to it? Better allocate that space to the children's room!

Post the floor plans in the B-Exp forum and then let the fun begin 😉😉 You’re right!
But Perlemann and Der Da are already using Rolf’s and Baum.l’s favorite words 😉
First of all, thank you for the many responses, even though only about 20% contained truly meaningful points.
I didn’t write in the initial thread without reason that people should not get upset about the walk-in closets and that we would like the children's room to be a bit larger, but so far I haven’t found any suggestions for improvement.
With that in mind, I will refrain from providing further information on the whole matter, since only conventional floor plans are considered useful here.
Wishing you all a pleasant Sunday.

Mmmh, you could also just sulk and withdraw now... 🙄
For example, you didn’t answer my question about why you need 40 square meters (430 square feet) for sleeping and clothes. I did read that you want the children’s room to be bigger, and probably other users did as well. But you yourself knew that this isn’t possible with the current floor plan. So, back to square one and plan it differently.
Do you really need that much wardrobe space? Then maybe you could combine the two rooms into one, creating a really large walk-in closet, which would also give the children’s room more space. But again, the floor plan would need to be reconsidered for that.
Personally, I don’t really care whether you actually want to build this way and eventually do it. You have to live in it.
Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately), there’s no entitlement to receiving specific answers in a forum. You asked for opinions. You got them.
