Development Plan / Restrictions
The outer walls are fixed and cannot be altered, as this is a condominium/project. However, the interior layout can largely be customized.

Number of People, Age
Currently 2 adults, possibly with children in the future 😉

Space Requirements on Ground Floor and Upper Floor
Desired: 6 rooms:
- Master bedroom with en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet
- 2 rooms (1 guest room, possibly 1 children’s room)
- Small bathroom (shower / guest toilet)
- 2 offices
- Utility room for washing machine, dryer, clothes dryer
- Large open living/dining area with kitchen island

House Design
Two designs are from an architect, one is self-drawn.
The patio area is continuous in all versions, located at the lower left and facing south-west.

What do you dislike? Why?
Option 1: Living room too tight, especially around the sofa; office size is acceptable
Option 2: Utility room in the kitchen doesn’t suit us well; covered patio reachable only through the office
Option 3: No direct access to the covered patio

What do you especially like? Why?
Option 2: Large walk-in closet, room sizes
Option 3: Room sizes

If you have to give up something, which details/extra rooms?
Possibly only 1 office

What is the most important/basic question about the floor plan summed up in 130 characters?
Do you perhaps have a completely different idea for the room layout? How would you best arrange the living room, kitchen, and dining table?

Option 1:

2D floor plan of a house with rooms such as living room, kitchen, bathroom and bedroom


Option 2:

2D floor plan of a house with kitchen, living area, staircase, entrance and bathroom.


Option 3:

Floor plan of a house with multiple rooms, offices, bathroom and walk-in closet

Unfortunately, the rooms are not dimensioned. But where do you see the main size difference between option 1 and 2 in the area around the sofa, etc.? Option 2 is definitely less comfortable there, as it is just in the middle of the room.

Is it likely that the windows can be changed in size and position? Even more reason for clearly dimensioned wall sections… otherwise, how else can any new layout ideas be developed?

The most useful addition to the drawings would be a north arrow, so your southwest indication can be best assessed.

I’m just wondering what kind of nightmares one might have in a bedroom with twelve corners :-(

... Bathroom door definitely in the other corner... just further to the right... definitely!

You mean ... whoa ... there's actually someone sitting there 😀

It seems to me that when sitting on the sofa, your knees are already almost touching the wall opposite?

Thanks already for the initial feedback.

Actually, the windows can be moved or enlarged; it just requires a minor building permit / planning permission, so that would be possible.

I will add that tonight; more or less, up is north.

That was our first impression as well. The distance from wall to wall in the sofa area is 3.2m (10.5 ft).

Regarding the measurements, I will check this evening what can be done; the square meters are at least indicated, although in small font.
