Hello everyone,
I already posted a floor plan in the building costs forum.
There was a comment that the children's rooms are too small.
Yesterday, I visited a show home for a quote and took a look at the rooms there.
I have to admit, I was a bit shocked by the size of the children's rooms, which were about 11 sqm (118 sq ft). So, hardly smaller than what we have planned. It’s hard to imagine the room size just from the paper.
Do you have any ideas on how to enlarge the three children's rooms on the upper floor without completely changing the entire floor plan?
Or if you have any other criticism or suggestions for improvement, feel free to share.
Best regards,
Steffen

It's "only" 300 m² (3,230 sq ft) of floor space.
I need at least 5 m by 6 m (16 ft by 20 ft) of floor space for my billiard room.
That would only be possible in the basement or on the third floor.
At most, some kind of extension or annex at the front of the house might be conceivable. But whether that would be cost-effective compared to a basement is hard for me to judge, though I think probably not. Especially since then there would be no storage rooms. [Sarcasm] Your children can be glad they get any rooms at all [/Sarcasm]

I would swap the kitchen and the office on the ground floor. On days like today, your terrace won’t be quiet at all, so can you really work there effectively?Nobody will be working there anyway. Unfortunately, I don’t have a home office. As of now, it will only be used as a guest room. Of course, my desk will be in there, but that will be for leisure time.

In a few years, some teenagers might be sitting outside your bedroom door at night, and you’ll want to sleep undisturbed.How else could this be solved, except by swapping the bedroom and guest room? Since everything is on one level, that’s the only option. Maybe that could be reconsidered when the time comes.
I wouldn’t swap the kitchen, because otherwise guests would have to walk through the entire hallway to get to the bathroom. As it is now, guests basically have their own almost separated area. The only thing needed would be to move the door to the north side, and then it would be perfect.

visually, your house looks like an office building in an industrial area.Oh, I hadn’t really noticed that a month ago: the wing with the bedroom suite, with its three identical windows evenly spaced, resembles an office above a row of three wide single garages. By simply breaking up this "machine-stamped" rhythm of the windows, you could add some "liveliness" without incurring extra costs.The overall work of this architect strongly reflects a self-perception as an intellectual artist (with experience in commercial construction, a rare combination).

Originally, it looked like this:

How else could this be arranged, other than swapping the bedroom with the guest room? If everything is on one level, there’s no other way.
Maybe it could be reconsidered later when the time comes.
I wouldn’t swap the kitchen, because otherwise the guest would have to walk all the way through the hallway just to take a shower...

You’d only need to move the door to the north, then it would be perfect.Then I would definitely swap the kitchen and work/guest areas.
The kitchen is accessed from outside quite often, whether for grilling or just grabbing a quick drink.
Consider redesigning the upper floor. Reduce the large hallway and allocate that circulation space to the children's rooms. This would also slightly reduce the size of the master area in favor of the children’s rooms. Then consoles and seating options would be placed in the rooms. Later on, you would only notice people coming and going.
A 12m² (130 sq ft) children's room is generally the minimum size I find acceptable. Compared to the 30m² (320 sq ft) bedroom, though, it seems a bit odd. Possibly, if you gave up the huge walk-in closet, there might be more space available. However, with this floor plan, I see very little flexibility.
What I also don’t like is that the master bathroom is only accessible through the bedroom. So if child 1, 2, and 3 want to take a bath in winter, they constantly have to go through the bedroom. Also, I am allergic to sliding doors, unless they serve purely decorative purposes.
