And how wide is the passage to the shower? After subtracting plaster/tiles?

The door to the study might possibly be moved further to the left, so that it rests on that recess. But that depends on the furniture arrangement.

Also try furnishing the walk-in closet. At a quick glance, I would say there is just enough space for 2 x 1.50 m (5 feet) with a depth of 60 cm (24 inches) on each side, which might be a bit tight.

In general, just furnish everything first—it often makes many things clearer.

The shower passage is 70cm (27.5 inches).
What advantage would there be if the door rests against the recess?
Yes, 2x1.50m (2x4.9 ft) is currently planned, but that might be too small in the long run.

If the door rests against the recess, it would be possible to install a cabinet from the current door location all the way to the top of the plan. Home office? As mentioned before, this also depends on the furniture and furnishing preferences.

I don’t know who drew this for you, but many corners don’t align properly!

The staircase at the bottom is definitely too short, so the door won’t work, etc.

70cm (28 inches) to the shower is possible but very tight.

There’s a 5m² (54 sq ft) walk-in closet—try adding wardrobes there and you’ll see what I mean. A wardrobe is about 60cm (24 inches) deep.

The pantry is the same issue: only 4m² (43 sq ft) with two doors.

Both sizes could definitely be improved.

Good morning!

The first thing that caught my eye is the bathroom on the upper floor. I would like to see where the sink and toilet are planned to be placed. With two doors and two windows, the room is "occupied" on all sides. I don’t think it can be furnished in a practical way. Also, the 70 cm (28 inches) space in front of the shower is, in my opinion, far too narrow. It would be impossible to enter with a wheelchair, and the corner would likely feel very cramped. Is there a shower light planned? Otherwise, you would be showering in the dark. Removing one door would definitely improve the room.

The utility/storage room (HAR) has little usable space due to its three doors, especially if it needs to accommodate heating equipment, electrical systems, and a washing machine.

It feels as though someone tried to fit all the desired rooms into a predetermined shell at all costs. I think it would make more sense to enlarge the guest room downstairs and use it as an office/guest room. Then the upper room could be removed, allowing for a better and more practical layout of bedroom, dressing area, and bathroom.

The ground floor layout is very similar to mine in terms of room arrangement. Although I have 2 meters (6.5 feet) less depth downstairs, this layout here seems more confined.

Regards,
Michael
