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.

However, the idea of a straight staircase might be better because then the upstairs layout can remain unchanged.
In the end, our priority was to have some storage space under the stairs. That’s how it currently is in our apartment.
We preferred not to have the staircase right at the entrance because of dirt. If you reverse the staircase, the door would be at the front, which might also not be ideal.
I generally like the floor plan; the kitchen with the door is clear. I might also move the fireplace. But I really like the bedroom with the walk-in closet. I just don’t like the very small children’s rooms, but I do like the staircase.
