House Design
Planner: my 5 cents
-planner from a construction company
-architect
-do-it-yourself
What do you like most? Why? The west side, because we have an unobstructed view to the west over fields and forest
What do you dislike? Why? So far nothing
Cost estimate by architect/planner: around €430,000 excluding ancillary construction costs, including slab on grade
Personal budget limit for the house, including fittings: €480,000 including ancillary construction costs (excluding kitchen and garden)
Preferred heating technology: air-to-water heat pump or geothermal with baskets
If you had to give up something, which details / expansions
-could you do without: external venetian blinds, wood/aluminum windows
-could you not do without: the flush-mounted doors
Why did the design end up this way?
It evolved from many previous drafts and matured over time

Oh, I think we are misunderstanding each other about the plan... so the stair nosing is on the right, the staircase is open on all sides, and there is no wall that projects 60cm (24 inches).The wall = the left stringer of the staircase coming from between the kitchen and utility room juts out forward of the stair nosing by the depth of the kitchen run. Anyone coming from the front door and turning toward the stairs – which I personally don’t like, as I would prefer the stair axis to align directly with the path from the front door (if you want a turn, you wouldn’t build a straight-flight staircase) – ends up with the corner of the wall “behind their back” as they turn. At this point, people sensitive to Feng Shui often experience a kind of emotional imbalance akin to a tilted pelvic bone.

First of all, I like that you have planned space for wardrobes in the important rooms. I really like those recesses in the children’s rooms.
The staircase: does the drawn wall between the stairs and the dining area actually exist? Is it only supposed to run underneath the stairs?
What kind of railing is planned on both sides?
If I have understood correctly, I find the entire living area rather uncomfortable because when sitting, you always have the entrance in view. Also, I am not happy with the huge window. I do like generous and bright spaces with plenty of windows, but a window should suit the room and be in proportion to the walls.
I do not like any of the four elevations either; all the windows are too wide in relation to the walls, and the different sill heights don’t match given the same window size.
The walk-in closet is too narrow: with a width of only 95cm (37 inches), how can you get a good overview of the clothes?
I also don’t like the utility room located behind the bedroom. And if you say that it doesn’t bother you when your teenager wants to drop off their smoky clothes after late nights and has to walk through your bedroom, then I wonder what intimacy means to you. I think this was the dead end in your planning that you are now trying to justify.
Basically, I feel a cloakroom is missing, as well as more privacy in the living area. The lounging corner at about 3.XX meters (around 10 feet) is a bit too short in proportion to the entire length of the room.
I don’t believe the garage will be approved as planned. Given its length and the roof covering, I would not design this corridor between the garage and the house like this. We also have a 2-meter (6.5 feet) corridor between the two, but I would only cover it with a transparent roof.
Edit: I do like the gallery space upstairs.

Yvonne

Thank you
An architect rarely completes a full design in one day.
A layperson can often come up with several drafts in a single day.
Best regards briefly
