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 can’t really imagine that... and as I said, the option of just putting everything in the utility room... I find that terrible... I don’t store food next to the heating system... no way

The difference between an apartment and a house is that you can choose the space for the kitchen and thus better plan the storage in the pantry within the kitchen. In our case, almost every house has a pantry, and yet the kitchens are still filled to the brim.

Ev-Marie8612 May 2017 08:22I also tend to prefer a pantry, because you just put stuff in and close it... even if it’s only water bottles and unused appliances...
I don’t like the ground floor layout as it is. The dining area is just too narrow; you have to place the table right against the wall to be able to walk past it at all. Also, when the living room door is open (and it usually is), you can’t get past it easily—or you might even hit it in the face if it’s just being opened. The bay window in the living area is only 3m (10 feet) wide, which is enough for a dining table but not for the sofa. Compared to the hallway, I also find the living space too small; 28m² (300 square feet) is not very big. I would move the kitchen into the guest room, so the dining table can be nicely placed in the bay window, and you can create a better access to the living area. The guest room could then go where the kitchen is now. Upstairs, I wouldn’t like it if you immediately face the toilet when entering the bathroom; I would arrange that differently.
Best regards,
Sabine

Ev-Marie8612 May 2017 08:45I wanted the kitchen to be downstairs so I can basically have a direct view of the entrance... and because the terrace is on the west side... this way you have direct access... patio door... to the terrace....
