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...

If you swap the children's room I and the bedroom, you will approach our floor plan. We have the two children's rooms on the right. Both are similarly sized, the dormer window is located above a gallery in the hallway for lighting. Okay, there is no storage room because of the basement.
This might also work for you, possibly using a dormer or dormer window in the bathroom/bedroom.

From what I understand, it is a draftsman employed by the general contractor and not a performance-based architect. She draws based on instructions, which can be critical for a client who has specific requirements.

Last time, we drove that extra 150km (93 miles) there... and then the disaster with the utility room being in the middle came up... so going there doesn’t really help either... but I think now we're on a good path... I quite like the ground floor as it is... the only thing left is the layout of the upper floor... I still need to experiment with that... I haven’t found the perfect idea yet...

I am not allowed to move the bathroom; it must be located above the utility room.

And another dormer is not allowed due to the development plan... because then the floor area would be too large, and we are only permitted to build 1.5 stories...

You can make something out of the bathroom’s location!

Where will your wardrobe and other items be stored in the entrance hallway now?
