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...

A walk-in closet is not for me... everything just gathers dust there.

How would anything gather dust there?

Good. That’s encouraging. Things are moving forward. Unfortunately, the bedroom layout doesn’t work: even without space for a wardrobe, the bed doesn’t fit well (with sufficient headroom). And the staircase is too small; you can find a post with staircase dimensions at the top of this section.

But you can print and cut out, paying attention to scale, right?

I had lengths of 113.5 and 345 cm (45 inches and 136 inches)... that’s what my plan allows... and the bed in the bedroom fits under the sloped ceiling, right??

Regarding the staircase at the entrance, I just realized that people might walk in socks from the living room through the potentially somewhat dirty entrance area into the bedrooms. This should be taken into account if the staircase is located directly at the front door.

This width might roughly match on the upper floor; on the ground floor, you start the stairs at about 75 cm (30 inches) wide.

The hidden knee wall reaches about 85 cm (33 inches) on the inside of the exterior wall, then about 15 cm (6 inches) further in is the 1-meter (3 ft 3 in) line. Even with low beds, you usually need to subtract at least 40 cm (16 inches)—often significantly more—to the top of the mattress, so there isn’t enough space to sit upright at the head of the bed; even standing up without hitting your head takes practice and concentration.
