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...

I would rather completely do without this room to make the hallway more spacious. (One point we really like about our current shell construction.) Then position the bathroom towards the utility room.

You’re blocking the exit at the bay window with the sofa. This is what it looks like when someone plans a couch that is way too big. In reality, there is plenty of room to walk past it.

Or leave the toilet on the left... and remove the pantry entirely... I am not so sure about that Leaving the toilet on the left takes up space needed for the washer and dryer. I would rather swap the toilet’s position with the closet area. A window can easily replace a ventilation system there and keeps the pantry in its proper place along the north wall. However, the designer of that bulky boxed-in sliding door should be severely criticized. The door would save a lot of space by running uncovered straight into the pantry.

I'm from the countryside... so a country person... and I don't know life without it.. Me neither, and I wouldn’t want to be without it either. In our current apartment, we don’t have one, and our kitchen is overflowing.
@11ant
I still don’t find the sofa placement ideal. If I had a bay window, I would put the dining table there.
