Hello everyone,
I would appreciate honest opinions on my floor plan design for the ground floor. Unfortunately, I have never built before and I’m sure I might be overlooking some potential issues. The two openings to the kitchen and living room are planned without doors.

Three doors leading to the pantry is a no-go for me. The pantry needs to be directly connected to the kitchen; otherwise, it doesn’t make sense. But in the end, you have to live there, and it has to meet your needs. Personally, I don’t like it at all, but that’s just my taste.
I think it’s better, but I wouldn’t want a pantry located around three corners either.
From my own experience, working with an architect is definitely the better option. We also first tried to design the layout ourselves, and in the end, we ended up with a perfect floor plan for us, but it was completely different.
Why not give it a try?

I can see this in my parents’ 18-year-old house: we installed a network afterward. Without a proper technical shaft that you can access later, you’re basically stuck. Of course, this might not be an issue right now, but if you want to add something later, it’s good to have.
Besides, you will need a shaft anyway for wastewater (toilets, bathrooms, etc.).
I actually find the floor plan quite awful, but I can’t pinpoint exactly why.
However, if you occasionally need something from the pantry while cooking, you’ll have to walk almost a half marathon to get there and back.
Tip for the kitchen: plan everything in 60cm (24 inches) increments, at least for the length of the walls where the kitchen is, since standard kitchen cabinets are 60cm (24 inches) wide. Custom designs in this area tend to be quite expensive.
Moving the entrance hall and vestibule (near the stairs) looks really odd to me — I don’t think I would feel very comfortable there.
Best regards
