Why is the design the way it is now? For example:
Based on various prefabricated houses, we designed our own floor plan. The study on the ground floor should be large enough to possibly use as a bedroom. The living room faces south, and the children’s rooms are equally sized. The washing machine would go into the storage room.
What is the most important/basic question about the floor plan in 130 characters?
General room layout and positioning? Which knee wall height (1 m; 1.2 m; 1.6 m) would be optimal for space gain, cost savings, and daylight in the upper floor?
Hello,
I hope the notes on the drawings are legible and understandable.
According to the development plan, only a knee wall height of 50 cm (20 inches) is allowed, but according to telephone information, deviations are approved as long as the maximum ridge height is not exceeded.
The drawing does not show any furniture.
The staircase should run straight in the hallway on the west side, so it opens in front of the two doors for the children’s rooms and the master bedroom.
Floor-to-ceiling windows are planned in the south-facing living room; all other windows will be "standard."
The kitchen is planned in the southeast corner of the house, hence the passage to the pantry. Originally, no pantry was planned; instead, there was a large utility room. On the advice of the house seller/consultant, a wall was added there so you don’t walk directly from the kitchen into the utility room.
A fireplace either next to the living room door or on the west wall.
Unfortunately, furniture was not included in the export: staircase runs straight in the hallway on the right side (when entering the house), so you reach the doors of the children’s and master bedrooms on the upper floor.
The current floor plan is based on external dimensions of 10.50 m by 11 m (34 ft 5 in by 36 ft 1 in).
If anything is unclear, please ask. Otherwise, feel free to ask questions or critique. I am not here just to receive praise (although that is always nice), but that’s not the purpose of this exercise.

So that you don’t walk directly from the kitchen into the utility room.

How did the seller justify that? – who would be traumatized by the sight of canned goods and dust bags, especially when the view also includes the heating manifold and the fuse box?

Neubau202024 Jan 2020 13:13I am bringing this topic up again because we have come across two other options regarding the staircase.
However, I’m having trouble deciding which would be the most practical.
The original plan was for a straight staircase in the stairwell. Now there is also the option of a quarter-turn staircase. One version with a short first step and then immediately turning the corner, and another with the turn in the middle of the stairs. The drawings show the staircase with a landing because the software didn’t offer other options.
Due to the different staircase dimensions, the entrance area and some rooms change slightly. The room allocation remains the same, although we could consider swapping the bathroom and storage room upstairs.
I would appreciate your honest opinions on the different options as well as any suggestions for improvement.

Why was the design done this way?
Based on various prefabricated houses, we designed our own floor plan. The office on the ground floor should be large enough to also be used as a bedroom if needed. The living room should face south, and the children’s rooms should be the same size. The washing machine might be placed in the storage room.
What is the most important/basic question about the floor plan in 130 characters?
General room layout and location? Which knee wall height (1m, 1.2m, 1.6m / 3 ft 3 in, 3 ft 11 in, 5 ft 3 in) is optimal regarding space gain, cost savings, and natural light in the upper floor?
Hello,
I hope the details on the drawings are readable and understandable.
According to the development plan, the knee wall height is limited to 50 cm (20 inches), but we have been told by phone that deviations are permitted as long as the maximum ridge height is not exceeded.
The furniture does not show up on the drawings.
The staircase is planned to run straight along the west side of the hallway so that you arrive at the doors of the children's rooms/parents' bedroom upstairs.
Floor-to-ceiling windows are planned for the living room facing south; all other windows will be standard height.
The kitchen is located in the southeast corner of the house, hence the connection to the pantry. Originally, there was no pantry planned but a large utility/technical room. On the advice of the builder/consultant, a wall was added there so you don't walk straight from the kitchen into the technical room.
A fireplace either in the living room next to the living room door or on the west wall.
Unfortunately, the furniture was not included when exporting:
The staircase runs straight in the hallway on the right (viewed from the front door), so that upstairs you arrive at the children’s room doors/parents’ bedroom.
The current floor plan is based on external dimensions of 10.50 m by 11 m (34 ft 5 in by 36 ft 1 in).
If anything is unclear, please ask. Otherwise, feel free to ask questions and offer criticism—I’m not here to get praise (although that’s nice too, but that’s not the purpose of this exercise).

And here are the variationsInconsistencies in the dimensions suggest that you develop each drawing separately. A design software that does not generate the upper floor layout from the ground floor plan (or vice versa, as I recommend) is not suitable. Staircases should be aligned vertically; the 23 and 22 square meter (248 and 237 square feet) rooms are separated by a thickly drawn load-bearing wall, which according to the measurements is only 4 mm (0.16 inches) thick. Something is off here, and hopefully this will be noticed by the general contractor’s draftsman when pinning the plans.https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

Every staircase will change your floor plan. Unfortunately, many of the proportions and measurements are incorrect. The front door is much wider than a narrow 80cm (31.5 inches). For a staircase including the railing, plan about 110cm (43 inches).
Many measurements are missing, while others are unnecessary.
I want to point out:
You have 10.29 meters (33 feet 9 inches) as the measurement for the open-plan living area.
Let's take 10.20 meters (33 feet 6 inches) to allow for plaster and inaccuracies...
Subtracting the kitchen line, work area, and island:
1020cm (402 inches)
- 60cm (24 inches)
- 120cm (47 inches)
- 100cm (39 inches)
______
740cm (291 inches)
Now subtract a table worthy of being called a table, namely
- 200cm (79 inches)
The side space with a good 100cm (39 inches) on each side for seating and walking through:
- 100cm (39 inches)
- 100cm (39 inches)
________
This leaves 330cm (130 inches) for your sofa and TV side.
You can rotate the table—there is enough room for that.
Then you gain an extra 100cm (39 inches) for watching TV, so 430cm (169 inches).
However, a depth of 385cm (151 inches) is still not very generous.
So do yourself a favor and change the furniture layout or update the measurements.
