Hello everyone,
we are currently working on the second floor plan for the upper floor and are struggling to find a good solution.
We have planned an L-shaped house with a gallery. We currently have two versions for the upper floor, but neither fully convinces us. Maybe someone here has a good idea.
Requirements:
In Version 1 we like:
We don’t like:
In Version 2 we like:
We don’t like:
Do you have any tips, ideas, or suggestions for improvements?

We have planned an L-shaped house with a gallery. We currently have two versions for the upper floor, but neither fully convinces us. Maybe someone here has a good idea.
Requirements:
- The staircase and gallery should remain in their current positions.
- The bathroom can be either at the top (north) or in the middle right (east).
- A dormer is not planned; roof windows will be added where necessary in the next step.
- Windows are not shown in the plan but will be placed at the top (north) and bottom (south).
- The gable roof is open at both top and bottom, so the roof surfaces face east and west.
In Version 1 we like:
- Sufficiently large children’s rooms
- Bathroom is acceptable
We don’t like:
- Master bedroom and walk-in closet are too large
- Gallery space is reduced
In Version 2 we like:
- Master bedroom and walk-in closet are well sized
- Very little wasted space
We don’t like:
- Layout of the children’s rooms (!!)
- Bathroom is too large
Do you have any tips, ideas, or suggestions for improvements?

First of all: upper floor designs strongly depend on the knee wall height. How is it here, or how is it resolved with the L-shape? Is the knee wall higher on the west side?
Secondly: I generally like the room layout, but I would remove the door between the bedroom and bathroom, move the bedroom door further towards the top of the plan, and remove the wall to the walk-in closet so that you can start with a row of wardrobes right behind the door.
By the way, we have a walk-in closet of about 6 point something square meters (around 65 square feet) with a knee wall of 1.25 meters (4 feet), and it works great for two people. Besides shelves and dressers, there is a stool, a chair, and a floor-to-ceiling mirror. So, don’t generalize too much 🙂 I will clarify this with the building supervisor regarding the knee wall height and have them include it in the plans.
You mean for option 1, right?
Thanks a lot for the input!

As I said, we don’t like either option. 🙁
The most likely choice would be the children’s rooms from option 1 combined with the master bedroom or upper area from option 2.
325 cm (128 inches) for the double bed is too small, or too large?
Attached is the draft for the ground floor.
