Hello!
Apparently, our floor plan, as we originally wanted it, is causing some practical issues.
We are planning a prefab house (9.42 x 9.42 meters (31 x 31 feet)) with a gable roof, knee wall height 1.60 meters (5 ft 3 in), and roof pitch of 25 degrees. At our request, the entrance is planned on the eaves side on the north.
We are actually happy with the ground floor. Our main priorities on the ground floor were an open living-dining area, a guest/workroom, and a guest toilet with shower. The utility room has a window that is located under the carport.
Now about the upper floor, which I like but is causing problems:
1. The door of the north-facing children's room opens against the window. Should it open into the room? Or open outward into the hallway, like the bedroom door is planned (why is it like that there…)?
2. The window in the master bedroom on the upper floor (south side) is planned without a roller blind. This is because a distance of 2.05 meters (6 ft 9 in) to the side wall with the roof slope must be maintained for a roller blind. In the current plan (open walk-in closet) the window could still be moved slightly. However, I wanted to close off the wall to the walk-in closet so that it is accessible from the hallway. According to my calculations, to fit the window there, the walk-in closet would have to be reduced by about 70 cm (28 inches), which is hardly possible.
Do you have any ideas for redesigns that could help us here?

Two full stories are allowed, so a townhouse would have been possible, but it was too expensive and unnecessary for us. Therefore, this gable roof was offered and planned for us, and we did not say no.

Two full stories are allowed, so a townhouse-style villa would also be possible, but it was too expensive and unnecessary for us. That’s why we were offered and planned this gable roof instead, and we didn’t say no. With the gable roof, the costs for insulation, installing a vapor retarder, possibly wood fiberboards, drywall, scaffolding for painting the high ceilings, etc., are also quite significant. Have you compared this to a concrete ceiling? Or why were two full stories so much more expensive?
