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...

You could also install a laundry chute in the bathroom and place the washing machine on the ground floor. I would be concerned about the noise if the machines are running at night.

Then you could convert the storage room upstairs adjoining the bedroom into a walk-in closet.

That works.
It looks much clearer and more logical.
However, I would now simply move the bathtub forward a bit and build a partial wall behind it, plus surround the bathtub with a pedestal of the same height. This always looks very elegant.
I would also suggest discussing with the architect whether the bathtub can be recessed into the screed rather than placed on top. This would give you additional height. She should show you a cross-section for that.

Furthermore, I would also flip the toilet and shower (toilet at the top of the plan, shower at the bottom).

If the washer and dryer are upstairs, consider a thicker wall there toward the children’s room. Alternatively, place the washer and dryer against the bedroom wall.

Best regards, Yvonne

This was the final draft from the designer... the remaining details will be discussed with the main office during the planning meeting... I like the suggestions with the walk-in shower and bathtub... however, I want to first see what they offer... I also think it looks much better now... one consideration I still have is whether a roof window in the upstairs hallway makes sense? However, cleaning it might be difficult?!

I would definitely install a roof window, otherwise it will simply be too dark. And there are plastering tools with telescopic handles.
