The house is intended to be used as a weekend/holiday home, so that both we (a young family) and our parents can stay there, or up to 8 people (including children) at times. Therefore, there are 3 bedrooms with two sleeping places each, plus a sofa bed in the living room. However, this sofa bed is expected to be used only occasionally.

It must be noted that the house needs to be partly built into a slope. For this reason, the southeast corner features correspondingly tall windows. We think this south-facing wall is well suited for the living area, for example for TV placement.

I agree: smaller bedrooms with their own shower and toilet, so there is still a room left for a sauna with an additional shower. A nice common area for everyone. I would try to create another bedroom downstairs for the parents, who might not be able to use the stairs anymore at some point.

Hello, I have designed new floor plans again.
We now have a second small shower bathroom upstairs, and the toilet is separate. As a result, there is no longer a shower downstairs. The utility room is also larger, which makes a lot of sense. Additionally, we have added a 4th bedroom upstairs.
I would like to keep the sauna on the upper floor.

What do you think?
