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...

We will discuss this at the kitchen studio...
But well, now everything sounds and above all feels much better.
It has definitely helped... it is never a bad idea to think things through carefully.

Well, kitchen showrooms are no different than architects or planners from construction companies... if you know what I mean. The kitchen doesn’t need to be planned for as long as your whole house, right? [emoji28]

What are you trying to tell me with that?? We already visited a kitchen showroom—the place where we will buy the kitchen—and went through every single cabinet with them, which was really helpful. However, we changed our plan afterwards and now need to, well, let’s say, adjust it to the new circumstances. For the planning meeting, we don’t need to buy the kitchen yet; we just need to know where the water and electrical connections have to go. The kitchen will be purchased later. I already have the measurements for the kitchen planning. Or would you do it differently?

No. Definitely don’t let yourself be pressured into buying now. Planned for June 2nd, currently screed, June 26th on-site measurement, then final planning the day after, purchase. Delivery mid-August. Price is fixed, hopefully everything fits. Karsten

Hello everyone. I would appreciate constructive feedback. What do you think works well, and what could be improved?

@Ev-Marie86 ... less than a year has passed and now there is a new proposal. What has changed compared to the previous version? A few comments from you might be helpful so that not everyone has to review 43 pages again.

I just notice again that no furniture has been included, and I still see the same issues with the kitchen layout as well as the master bedroom ... have you tried furnishing it? For example, placing a wardrobe because of the window? I also can’t see any window for the bathroom.
