Hello everyone...
After our first floor plan attempt failed completely, we worked with the architect to develop two more ground floor versions and one for the upper floor. I would like to know which ones you find good or bad, and what you generally like or dislike about the floor plans?! Also, the pantry door is drawn a bit oddly; it won’t actually look like that...

After all, anyone who survives these forum "battles" can confidently move forward with a carefully refined design for their new home. However, a friendlier tone wouldn’t actually hurt either.

First of all, you are fishing for compliments, and they’re not coming. Think about it this way: how I feel about your floor plan doesn't really matter to you since you'll be the one living in it. That’s quite relaxing.
When you are at that level, some things sound different. You’ve probably also noticed that in this forum, everyone has their pet peeve when it comes to floor plan discussions—cloakroom, stairs straight or curved, walk-in closet, pantry, etc. However, in my opinion, there are some basic practical assumptions you shouldn’t just ignore—at least not without careful consideration.
A house usually has two entrances: a main one and one for dirty shoes, typically through the utility room. That works for you. Hallways are usually more central. But above all, they are wide enough to sometimes accommodate a stroller or similar. It’s not necessary, but it’s convenient. Otherwise, the furniture can be arranged differently. The room sizes are practical. Karsten

Hey,
I think there are nicer ways to express it :/
We planned a rather unconventional house ourselves, so in the end everyone has to decide for themselves.
But I would also say you should rethink it, the area downstairs doesn’t seem quite right to me somehow.
I completely understand the pantry, we are getting one too, but yours really looks tiny if I’m not mistaken. With it as it is now, you can fit very little of the usual stuff (freezer chest/cabinet, shelves, cabinets, etc.).
I would take pencil and millimeter paper and work on it again— that’s what we did too... over and over.
Best regards

Knallkörper16 May 2017 15:33The floor plan is barely livable, to put it bluntly. There’s no space for anything on the ground floor, not for dining, not for storage, not for living. The utility room is the central point... got it. As a bank, I wouldn’t finance this – it’s unsellable.
In my layout, the utility room would be where the kitchen is now and would have a back door. The kitchen would be relocated to the current utility room’s spot. The dining table would be placed in the bay window area. The pantry would be a large cupboard inside the utility room. The outdoor water tap would be next to the back door. Instead of a built-in refrigerator in the kitchen, it would have a standalone model with a cooler and freezer compartments, like a Samsung unit, where you can attach small daily notes with magnets. The main entrance would be where the wardrobe area is now, with a nice wide door. The main front door would be opposite, leading into the living room. The guest toilet would stay where it is. I would have a nice niche for the coat closet, and shoes would be stored under the stairs. So, just a few changes—but I’d like it that way. Karsten
