Good morning,

we have now received the first draft of the interior layout for our single-family home from our planner, but we are not quite satisfied, as some of our requests were unfortunately not taken into account. Accordingly, we are disappointed because this will be a "life project" for us, and we feel somewhat let down.

It is a terraced house with a total area of 110m² (1,184 sq ft), divided into 2 floors of 55m² (592 sq ft) each. Additionally, there is a basement and an attic, although the attic cannot be used as living space.

In the basement, we want the kitchen and dining area on the south side, the living room further back, which can be closed off with a sliding door to create a potential retreat space. There should also be a small storage room for food and miscellaneous items as well as a guest toilet.

On the upper floor, there is a master bedroom of about 16m² (172 sq ft) with direct access to a large bathroom, two children's bedrooms, and a separate small bathroom.

In my opinion, shifting the staircase might be a good idea, but since we are not experts, we have fully relied on our planner so far.

Another meeting with him will take place in the next few days, and perhaps you have suggestions and input that we could bring up concretely.

Thank you very much in advance!

Ground floor plan: Living area left, hallway, toilet, kitchen with island, pantry, dining area right


Upper floor plan: Master bedroom, two rooms, bathroom, toilet/shower, corridor, and staircase.

As far as I know, it goes through the exterior wall into the basement...

Then it should also be included in the basement plans, and you should expect to hear noise in the living areas.

The appearance would bother me. After all, no furniture could be placed against that wall. Or you plan it right from the start… for example, it could become the side wall of a window seat. But something like that would need to be planned carefully (as you already mentioned) to ensure that the furnishing achieves the intended result.

I would probably route the drainage along the chimney.

This way, you would maximize the storage space in the kitchen and avoid constantly getting in each other’s way around corners, which many people find annoying and impractical in their kitchens.

I did not want a fireplace for a house of this size.

Thanks! So, you would place the electrical appliances in a row instead of having a pantry?

We would like to have the cooktop facing the living room and the sink towards the back, but that shouldn’t affect the overall layout/planning.

If you place the sink at the back, you will be standing with your back to the room most of the time and facing the wall. You use the sink much more often than the stove. A sink is not unattractive; it can definitely be placed towards the front.
I would probably go for a full island, which also provides a second passageway. The dishwasher can then be installed at a raised height in the back row.

It depends on your habits: I quickly rinse vegetables, but I do most of the chopping at the stove facing the room, and that takes most of the time. When I no longer need knives or containers, I put them behind me at the sink. For me, the sink is a place where dirty items are stacked or collected. Our sink also looks untidy because we constantly use water there, which leaves limescale spots or just wet areas. Additionally, cloths, brushes, and dish soap are kept close to the sink, which disrupts the homely appearance that is better maintained around the stove area.
