Hello experts,
we have finally found a plot of land, and the planning is in its final stages.
What do you think of our floor plan? Any suggestions for improvement?
1. The plot is on a slope, which is why there is a partial basement. We actually never wanted a basement, but it makes sense here because the homeowner really wants a double garage.
2. The plot faces north at the back. The plot is 17m (56 feet) wide (building area 11m (36 feet)) and 42m (138 feet) long (building area at the front 20m (66 feet)). The road is completely on the south side, so a full south-facing orientation is not possible. The building area does not allow it. However, we don't see this as a problem and hope that the many windows will provide enough natural light inside the house.

@VillaMoTo: Yes, the walls in the children's rooms by the windows facing west and east are 63cm (25 inches) deep. Unfortunately, they couldn’t be made any deeper due to the slope, but the windows might be narrowed to 1m (39 inches) during construction if we find the overall light sufficient, which would then increase the depth to over 70cm (28 inches). Alternatively, I could place the wardrobe on the wall where the door is hinged. It would then be in front of the window, but the wall is wide enough for that.
And thanks for the suggestions regarding the bathroom. The window can indeed still be moved. I’m working on it...
@ypg: Yes, I’m also working on the version suggested by the building expert.

Hmm, what I personally don’t like is the large built-in wall area to the left of the bathtub and the wall in front of the toilet. Also, I would make better use of the knee wall in the shower and have a bench built in. The fixtures can also be mounted on one of the side walls.
Is the shower located under the sloped ceiling? Under 2 meters (6.5 feet)? That would be unfortunate and hopefully not how the professional builds it.
Having the shower exit in front of a window is also not ideal...
The privacy panel on the left won’t help you at all and could be removed.
