Hello,
Some time ago, I shared a self-designed plan. Since many things have changed, I’m presenting my plan again. The builder has also already made some modifications.
For your information:
- South is where the bay window is located (at the bottom). The slope rises from west to east.
- The staircase is open but does not continue down to the basement. There is an open space above, with a large roof window.
- Between the hallway and dining room, there is a retractable sliding door.
- Sliding elements will be installed between the bedroom and dressing room.
- Knee wall height is 1.25m (4 feet).
- The main wardrobe will be in the basement; on the ground floor, only a small guest wardrobe is planned.
I’m still unsure about how to design the bay window:
- Currently, it has a hipped roof.
- I could also imagine a flat roof.
- The ground floor (bay window) could be fully glazed with supporting columns.
- Bay window facade: plaster, wood, or stone?
- Upstairs in the bay window, regular windows might be used instead of floor-to-ceiling windows.
What do you think of the plan now, and do you have any ideas for the bay window?
Best regards, Wolfgang
Update: Plan has been adjusted
- Bathtub and toilet have been swapped.
- Wardrobe enlarged and swapped with the study room door.
- New floor plans are in a separate post below.

Yes, there is a closet corner drawn in the master bedroom. However, as mentioned, I could well imagine placing a dressing table (for the lady) or a bench or something similar in front of the window.
In the child’s room, it is really possible to create a great workspace. Whether the original poster decides to do it this way or differently is, of course, open.
Floor-to-ceiling windows would obviously limit any use of the space.
@TE: I would plan the living room with the sofa against the interior wall—where the TV is currently drawn—and place the TV on the west wall. This way, a) you could have a view of the garden, b) create another exit to the terrace, and c) if desired, also watch TV from the kitchen or dining room. I would position the dining table horizontally.
