Hi everyone,
My wife and I are close to finalizing our design, which we are developing with an architect. The results are shown in the attached images. Since this forum gathers a lot of experience from homeowners, we would really appreciate hearing opinions of any kind.
One thing not yet updated in the images but already communicated is moving the balcony to the bedroom side, which is also where the exit is.
The floor plan is almost perfect for us. Window placement was our most recent focus, and this is where I still see potential—especially the question of whether to use divided windows or larger single-pane windows.
We look forward to your feedback.
Good luck,
Jan

I also wondered whether you have to bathe fully dressed... after all, you don’t want the neighbors to get eye damage... Alternatively, you can always use curtains or blinds—which I actually find pointless.

This looks like it’s coming from the balcony, and the neighbor doesn’t necessarily have to see in, right.If you stand by the bathtub and see a window of a neighboring building, you can assume that they can see you as well. Balcony or not [emoji2]
