Hello everyone 🙂
After so much feedback on my initial plan, it has now gone back and forth with our architect, and everything is finally completed 🙂
I’m excited if you take a look!
Here are a few details:
The floor plans don’t yet include our basement living area. Basements intended for living are allowed here. It is planned to have a laundry room, the boiler room, storage room, an office, and a large hobby room with a bathroom and a small kitchenette.
Slope: none
Number of floors: 2 floors (attic counts as 2nd floor due to knee wall) + basement living area
Roof type: Gable roof with 25-degree pitch, knee wall 160 cm (63 inches) (we received an exemption for this) + a dormer on the south side for the two children’s bedrooms is also planned but not finalized yet (exemption also received)
Number of occupants: 2 adults (eventually + 2 children), aged 28 and 34
Heating system: Heat pump with ventilation
The orientation of the floor plan very closely matches the actual cardinal directions. Except for the guest WC, the rightmost window in the living room, the kitchen, and the bathroom, all windows are floor-to-ceiling.
Ground floor: A small path leads to the right into the house. Right at the entrance is a small niche for storing water crates, ironing board, vacuum cleaner, and other odds and ends. Instead of a door, this space will be separated by a curtain, saving space and looking nice 🙂 Next to it is a guest WC with a urinal. Opposite the stairs on the wall, three coat racks are planned, which will be screwed from floor to ceiling. There is space for a shoe bench and a tall shoe cabinet beside the front door and along the WC wall. Strollers, bicycles, etc. will be stored in a small shed in front of the house. That covers the entrance area.
The kitchen can be accessed from two sides via sliding doors. The garden is reached through the double doors in the dining area.
Upper floor:
The bedroom is designed to be quite small. I know. That is intentional. Our current sleeping area is even smaller, and we manage well with it. In case of need (broken leg, bassinet, etc.), we can push the bed against the wall to gain some more space. The walk-in closet is not separated from the bedroom by a door. The two children’s rooms may still get a dormer. There is a small change in the bathroom that is not shown in the drawings: the washbasin will be integrated into the bathtub ledge and will shift by 25 cm (10 inches). The passage will be about 90 cm (35 inches) wide then.
Done 🙂

I meant the one on page 8.
In general, I would have removed the wall to the dressing room. Although the suggestion with the wardrobe and chest of drawers is good.
I would use a half-height shelf as a privacy screen. With four people, storage space is needed anyway, and if it’s bothersome, just remove it. Or a nice plant.

Either at the top... clearly above 2.00 m (6 ft 7 in), more like 2.20 m (7 ft 3 in), or alternatively at the bottom above the bathtub, where you would need arms about 70 cm (27.5 inches) long.

Have you ever been to a kitchen showroom?
There are cabinets for beverage crates, pantry cabinets with huge storage capacity, and cabinets for brooms and similar items.
Maybe that could be a solution for you without needing a niche.
I can understand what you want to place on the ground floor and why.

@haydee: I think there
I have also unconsciously been speaking from Schnuckline’s perspective. The fact that the solution isn’t ideal in terms of storage but rather just a curtain is probably an emotional thing. For some people, a specific spot absolutely has to hold the farmhouse cabinet from their great-grandmother, while others want to recreate a vacuum cleaner storage corner from their own childhood. So, basically, a positive trauma ;-)

Your little storage room for the vacuum cleaner (the kids will loooove to "hide" there ;-) fits in as well.

Exactly... there are such quirks. My wife, who grew up on a farm, had a corner bench and a freestanding refrigerator in the kitchen since childhood. She insisted the builder include a kitchen with space for a corner bench and room for that huge Bosch unit. No discussion possible. But I have my own quirk as well. For me, the living room must be furnished so that there is space for two Canton floor-standing speakers, arranged in such a way that when I sit in the center, I can hear the helicopter flying across the room while listening to Pink Floyd. Everything else has to be subordinated to that. Karsten
