Points we are not satisfied with yet:
- Guest toilet is too large (no shower needed in it)
- Utility room should also be used for storage; heating system: gas, solar, or photovoltaic – is 10m² (108 sq ft) sufficient?
- We would like a sliding door in the kitchen, but
- We don’t know where to place the fireplace
- We would like a partition wall in the upstairs bathroom to separate the shower and toilet… but something still feels off
- We are considering installing a glass door in the kitchen to bring more light into the hallway

We would appreciate your opinions or ideas.

Thank you very much in advance.

What is the height of your knee wall? Are roller shutters planned for the windows on the eaves side shown above?

The knee wall is 2.0 m (6 ft 7 in) high.
Shutters are planned for all windows throughout the house.

I think the new living room layout with the door – sofa – fireplace doesn’t work at all.
To get to the dining area, you constantly have to open the door 180°.
The passage between the sofa and the fireplace when the fireplace is in use could also be problematic.

However, without dimensions, this is all just guesswork.

I find the garage, just like in Bauexperte’s plan, not very practical – you can hardly reach the storage room, and you won’t be able to get the bicycles out if a car is parked inside. Although the plan still makes it somewhat feasible, the raw numbers clearly show that you barely have any space there.

As I mentioned before, without measurements, all of this is pretty much useless...

You are right, and that is also one reason why I don’t like prefabricated garages. However, the plot and budget simply don’t allow for more.
