Hi, attached is a floor plan for a townhouse (142sqm (1,527 sq ft)).
What can be improved here? How can the upper floor be optimized in relation to Child 2’s room?
All windows on the upper floor are floor-to-ceiling and located in the same positions as on the ground floor.
On the ground floor, for example, I would create an opening from the kitchen to the hallway opposite the floor-to-ceiling window.
1. This would save having to go through the living room.
2. It would allow natural light into the hallway through that window.
Additionally, I might consider moving the fireplace closer to the living room.
- This would make the walk-in closet more usable; it would probably not disturb Child 1’s room.
Regarding Child 2’s room, the only idea I have is to incorporate the hallway space. Child 2 would then have the wide floor-to-ceiling window, but the hallway would lose its window entirely...
I’m really at a loss here.

Oh, right, we’re almost building Brooklyn (sometime soon).
We’ll get the key from @11ant.
I just want to say: The hallway on the upper floor will be bright! So, that’s definitely not a problem with the floor plan. This works thanks to a large stairwell window, which in our case starts from the landing and extends almost up to the ceiling on the upper floor.

Coletrickle_78086 May 2020 09:37I have looked at quite a few floor plans already… most of them are quite similar.
In principle, the only thing we didn’t like was the staircase. We would prefer it to be more in the hallway and include a storage area. The kitchen is relatively easy to modify.
Perhaps a staircase with a landing would also make sense, similar to a spiral staircase. However, this would make the utility room considerably smaller. The staircase would then get light from the side windows. You can simply extend Child’s Bedroom 2 up to the bathroom, but it would end up being quite narrow.

I would also reconsider the walk-in closet, as it’s more practical to access the bedroom through the closet rather than the other way around like in your layout.Move the closet door to the right, towards the bedroom door?!

Everything is possible, you just have to like it. I would miss a coat closet on the ground floor.A coat closet under the stairs?
Taking up the original poster’s request and adjusting only the upper floor. This would, however, require a new arrangement of the windows. A very large rain shower or possibly the bathtub could be placed in the niche in the bathroom. With a width of 1.50 m (5 feet) and an 80 cm (31 inches) bathtub, there would still be a 70 cm (28 inches) passageway remaining. The wall next to the staircase could be nicely decorated to create a "cozy corner" in the bathroom. An additional 10–20 cm (4–8 inches) of width would be helpful.

Coletrickle_78086 May 2020 11:47I don’t think it’s bad at all. We plan to build the bathtub into the wall, so the entire niche could be used.
However, the toilet, shower, and a wide vanity also need to fit in.
