What do you think about this?
Maybe you have a few useful tips…
There is also a 20m² (215 sq ft) basement, where all the utility equipment will be located.
P.S.: Unfortunately, the staircase to the upper floor is not visible here… you go up towards the bathroom door…

Stadtvilla-201231 Jan 2012 16:41Ground floor: How is the basement accessed? The spot where the stairs to the basement should start is occupied by your refrigerator.
Ground floor: Guest bathroom needs an extraction fan because there is no window (this means additional costs).
Ground floor: Staircase in the living room – sound transmits well to the upper floor, especially with a concrete staircase, affecting the children's rooms.
Upper floor: Gallery is very dark (brightness decreases rapidly after 3–4m (10–13 feet)).
Upper floor: Office is too small (better to have around 12m² (130 square feet)).
Upper floor: Bathroom has two doors (some like it, some don’t; I personally don’t).
Upper floor: Walk-in closet is dark (no natural lighting – needs a good lighting plan).
Upper floor: Gallery is too large.
I would reconsider the upper floor layout. The many recesses make the rooms difficult to use efficiently. I didn’t see a fireplace. Is that intentional?

perlenmann1 Feb 2012 12:50I still don’t like the ground floor, but that’s a matter of personal taste. What I would definitely change is the 10m² (108 sq ft) space meant to fit just two closets! That’s a waste of space!
And having two doors in bathroom 2 is not my preference either; it also wastes space for a second passage (both in the bathroom and the bedroom).
Overall, a lot of space is wasted on hallways and walkways.
I’m curious, how many square meters do you have in total? Ground floor and upper floor.

Traumhaus201317 Feb 2012 12:59Hello,
First of all, I would be interested in the cardinal directions, the street layout, and any special features!
If all of that fits:
I would create access to the guest bathroom from the hallway! I would design the staircase in two sections around the corner and swap it with the dining room. Of course, this changes quite a bit upstairs too, but I think it’s for the better, since the office won’t feel so cramped anymore and the children's room will have a more convenient entrance.
If the staircase should stay where it is:
Try to create a straight line of access points to the walk-in closet, office, and children’s room! The small entry area in the closet is not useful anyway—better make the hallway larger!
Contrary to other opinions, I don’t find having two doors to the bathroom problematic! However, I would arrange it differently, especially if the access is from another location!
Overall, try to avoid too many corners upstairs, especially those 1x1 m (3x3 ft) entry spaces! That’s wasted space...
Try to minimize the number of wall lines!
Best regards,
Traumhaus2013
