ᐅ Floor Plan Design: Is the Living Room and Hallway Too Narrow?

Hello,

My name is Marius, I am 30 years old, and I will be building with my family in a newly developed residential area (Braunschweig).
After a long and exhausting planning process, I now feel that the width of the living room at 3.88m (12 feet 9 inches) rough measurement might be a bit too tight.

Who else has a living room under 4m (13 feet 1 inch) wide and can share their experience with such a space?

Because we really want to have a centrally located staircase, the upstairs hallway is short and only 1m (3 feet 3 inches) wide.

Maybe I am just overthinking it?!

Unfortunately, increasing the exterior dimensions no longer fits within our budget.

I would really appreciate new ideas regarding the floor plan, thank you.

The floor plan looks familiar to me. Is it one from a general contractor, or have you shown it before?

On even more floor space :-(

You’re trying to replicate a Jette – stop doing that, or find a suitable plot of land for it. A simplified version of the Jette for those with statutory health insurance just won’t work; it will never be anything but a struggle!

What do you mean by that? I don’t understand the content. Jette is a woman’s name...

...which belongs to a woman named Joop, who designed a house for a prefab home manufacturer, which 11ant reasonably assumes as a model for your design.

Ok, thanks. My design? You seem to know more about that than I do...

The only practical room in the Jette was this spacious cloakroom. That will now be removed

The Viebrockhaus Jette model has often been discussed here. The staircase impresses and creates a must-have feeling among some future homeowners.
The house is being downsized, and nothing is working anymore.
And here, even the only practical room is turned into a passageway with an aquarium.
