Hello!
Yesterday, we received the first preliminary design from our architect, and it is already very close to our dream house. Among other things, we wanted the upper floor to extend over the ground floor to create a roofed terrace, which he has implemented exactly as requested. However, since the roof in the current plan extends about 3.8 m (12.5 feet), we are wondering if the kitchen/dining/living area might become too dark. He has designed an open roof section on the left side (kitchen), where the tree is, and some glass elements on the right (the terrace faces south), but we are not sure about this. Does anyone have experience with this? What would you consider a suitable maximum roof overhang, or is 3.8 m (12.5 feet) completely fine?

Having a separate toilet is a good idea!
But it’s quite a detour to get to the bedroom...
Well, since you only sleep there, hmm, so in the evening you go to the bathroom, take off your clothes in the dressing room, wash up, and then to bed. In the morning, the opposite, and otherwise you don’t really need to enter the bedroom...
So I understand the reasoning—it saves hallway space. My initial reaction was: that’s inconvenient. But I think I’ll give it some more thought...

Username_wahl18 Oct 2015 19:02I wouldn’t want to live in the dark basement on the ground floor. Also, going through the bathroom to get to the bedroom seems too inconvenient to me.
97 sqm (1,042 sq ft) on the upper floor and only 25% allocated for the children?? But almost 50% for the parents, including a bathroom that is nearly as large as the two children's bedrooms combined? And then in the bathroom, the toilet is placed in a corner without a window ... honestly, I can only shake my head at that.
What happened to the shared TV corner?
Unfortunately, I really don’t like the layout of the upper floor.

I agree about the dark ground floor. Therefore, we need to make some changes to the layout here.
The bathroom and bedroom don’t bother me at all, since there is only a bed in the bedroom and you usually only enter once a day and leave in the morning.
We have already specified the size of the children’s rooms (this was one of the first topics), as we want them to be at least 15 m2 (160 ft²).
