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...

Open kitchen, guest room, window in every room
If you have a back door through the utility room, people come in there with dirty feet. This door also has a handle that allows opening without a key and without a doorbell. Children should always use this door. Adults too. Only the mail carrier and important guests, who ideally leave again soon, use the front door. Everyone else goes in through the back. So, there is absolutely no problem with the staircase down there. Karsten
Our staircase also starts right by the door. Based on our current experience, I would look for a different solution today, as the vacuum cleaner is stored within easy reach under the stairs.
Meanwhile, the stroller also moves through this area, and it’s difficult to clean the wheels properly, which means even more dirt in this “transition zone.”
Maybe someday we will build a glazed vestibule in front of the main door, but you shouldn’t think too much about the cost-benefit ratio.
Our bed is placed in a 50cm (20 inch) knee wall, set forward about 80 to 90cm (31 to 35 inches). That means there is around 40cm (16 inches) of space behind the headboard for storage. You can’t sit upright there, so reading has to be done in the living room, but at least you don’t bang your head when getting up.
