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...

Either a wardrobe width of max. 270 cm (106 inches) will be enough, or the builder will have to be bothered again.

It looks like the window with roller shutters is already at the absolute maximum height on the sloped ceiling. Nothing more can be done there.

If the 3 m (10 feet) wardrobe has to fit, the storage room could at most be sacrificed and the door relocated as a last resort. That would also have the added benefit of providing a window in the hallway.

Or a storage room used as a walk-in closet and no wardrobe in the bedroom. According to the structural analysis, windows can be moved a maximum of 7cm (3 inches) outward.

Or rather, shift the window by 7cm (3 inches) plus move the storage room wall by the remaining amount so that there is a 62.5cm (25 inches) wall left in the bedroom. The storage room does not have a load-bearing wall.

I don’t see it that way. The windows also have roller shutters above them. I think everything is designed really tightly. The storage room is too narrow to be used as a walk-in closet, even if you extend the wall all the way to the window edge. Or what do you mean by that?

We will now, as approved by the structural engineer, move the window 7cm (3 inches) towards the eaves and then adjust the wall of the storage room so that we have 62.5cm (25 inches) in the "Parents" room. So everything is fine despite the late discovery... Nevertheless, I would like to sincerely thank all of you once again, including those from the very beginning, because none of this would have been possible without YOU here.
