ᐅ Single-Family Home Floor Plan – Your Feedback Is Important to Me

Regarding the hallway: that’s why we installed a built-in shoe cabinet to the left of the entrance...

My mistake, I meant the walk-in closet next to the bedroom: 10sqm (108 sq ft) with space for only a 2m (6.5 ft) wardrobe.
Your glass panel by the stairs is certainly nice, but you could also have a wardrobe there if you skip the glass and remove the wall plus door.
Maybe you can find a good solution from the carpenter with wardrobes under the sloped ceiling, but then you could have the clothes directly in the bedroom and instead of the cloakroom build a small shower room? Then you could skip the shower downstairs – more space for coats and shoes.

According to Mertha, the room downstairs is an office, not a guest room. If two showers are installed upstairs, no one will use the shower downstairs.
And the one guest who occasionally stays and sleeps on the pull-out couch in the office can just go upstairs to shower.
Of course, having is always better than needing, but I wouldn’t want three showers.

I really like the house overall. Upstairs, I would keep it as it is—the walk-in closet is important because, due to the sloping ceiling and the door position in the bedroom, you can hardly place a wardrobe there. Additionally, you have storage space for suitcases, bed linens, and so on. Children can also go downstairs to shower.

On the ground floor, I’m not quite happy with the entrance area. It feels like wasted space, yet there’s little room for coats. The space under the stairs remains unused. There is no storage or pantry. I don’t find the kitchen very ergonomic. There’s a large gap between the island and the cabinets. The placement of the refrigerator is more of a bottleneck.

Here’s an idea of how it could be arranged differently. There is a roughly square-shaped entrance and a pantry under the stairs. The kitchen has a large island. I would skip the row of cabinets by the window and maybe put in a floor-to-ceiling window there so that you can step outside.

Guests don’t have to go around the stairs but can access the guest bathroom directly.

The staircase is moved one step towards the living room. Upstairs, this gives you more space in the walk-in closet.

I really like the adjustment in the kitchen area, especially since I’ve often seen that two-door solution between the open-plan room and kitchen and never understood the purpose. It probably comes from the nightmare scenario of cooking fries and fried fish cafeteria-style and not wanting those smells in the stairwell or upper floor. But in my opinion, sacrificing an open living concept because of that would be completely wrong, as that situation never actually happens. The kitchen door will almost always be open, and cooking smells stay within the already open living/dining area. Plus, nowadays there are large windows to open and excellent extractor hoods. So that second door and the wasted space wouldn’t be practical. The solution in the entrance area is better, but there might still be some possibilities to optimize it.
The “coffee bar” was probably created out of necessity and wouldn’t be used much in daily life. In the revised plan, the coffee machine and seating would be great in the corner of the kitchen. I’m not sure if I would need the children’s bathroom upstairs, as @Pinky0301 mentioned, or if I would give up other space for it; in my view, a separate extra WC could be absolutely enough on the upper floor. The “children’s bathroom” is often considered standard these days, but I don’t know if it’s really used that way or if the valuable space loss is justified.
Considering older children/teenagers, it might actually be an advantage for me that the guest WC on the ground floor is located near the entrance.
Why choose roller shutters instead of more comfortable venetian blinds?
