Hello everyone,
I am planning to start a new build in Saarland this year.
The exterior dimensions of the house will be approximately 9.5 x 10.5 meters (31 x 34.5 feet). I wanted to share my floor plan with you and ask if you have any opinions. However, the plans currently have dimensions of 9 x 10 meters (29.5 x 33 feet).
My first idea is to remove the wall next to the staircase in the kitchen and create a 3-meter (10 feet) kitchen island parallel to the kitchen units along the right exterior wall.
Upstairs, the walk-in closet should be larger and get a connecting door to the bathroom. A garage with an access door will be added in front of the utility room.
Regarding the site plan: the house will actually be located behind the house with number 84, not as shown in the drawing. House number 84 will be demolished beforehand.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Christoph

I'm back with my childhood trauma... but I would place the office between the bedroom and the kids’ room, unless that idea has already been dismissed earlier in the thread.
Hi Tamstar, that was actually considered before, but the window arrangement didn’t work out. If that changes on the ground floor, it will definitely be an option again.

Some good ideas – but even here, there is barely 2 meters (6.5 feet) of space behind the front door and next to the staircase in the kitchen. I don’t find that very appealing or comfortable. A hallway maybe 80 cm (31 inches) wide next to the stairs? As a bottleneck to the large open-plan area? That’s not inviting. The bottleneck could perhaps be visually softened by using an open, lightweight staircase.

Hi Tamstar, that was already planned that way once before, but the window arrangement didn’t fit at the time. If it changes now on the ground floor, it will definitely be an option again. Ah, then it must be mentioned in the text after all.
For me, that would be more important than symmetry, but everyone has different priorities 🙂 And maybe your architect will manage to achieve both.

Make the bathroom downstairs just a bit narrower, move the shower to the far end, and give the kitchen a little more space and distance between the counters. 115cm (45 inches) is quite tight to pass by each other.
Isn't 120cm (47 inches) a fairly common width? What exactly is the measurement in the picture? 130cm (51 inches)?
