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...

The cabinet fits there, but the window seems to be in the way.

What do you mean? Is the cabinet standing in front of the window?

Why not?
After planning permission / building permit, it is definitely still possible because it does not violate public order or cause any negative impact. It also makes no difference in terms of energy efficiency. Structurally, it is not an issue either.

I would also move the windows in Child 2 and the bedroom 60cm (24 inches) away from the wall toward the roof. This way, the wardrobe can be placed all the way against the exterior wall.

Because the walls are straight and the ceiling is coming on Thursday... But I'll give it a try. The upper floor isn’t built yet. Do you think this will work without any problems? Shutters are also supposed to go here. I’m not sure if it’s that simple!

The walls are arriving, and now you’re asking for changes to the floor plan? I don’t think that’s really possible at this point—who would even be able to keep track of that?

Yes, that is no longer possible. Until now, no one had noticed that the window was too tight. There will surely be a solution.
