Hello, I need your advice on how to create a better layout for the master bathroom – utility room – children’s bathroom area.
Requirements:
Children’s bedrooms are on the south side.
The children’s bedrooms should be approximately the same size. The utility room should accommodate a dryer and washing machine since we are building without a basement.
Thank you for your help.

If the ground floor isn’t working well anymore, that clearly calls for a complete redesign. However, this will only be successful if @MBS2201 finally gets down to specifics instead of just saying "we don’t like it" or "we don’t like it anymore." There must be reasons why, and only by knowing these reasons can one plan MEANINGFULLY further. Otherwise, it’s just producing possible floor plans on the existing foundation slab and wastes everyone’s time, which is inefficient.

It might be helpful to start a new thread where the opening post really includes ALL the information: existing foundation slab, plot layout, etc. all compiled again in one place.
Also room requirements, preferences, dislikes, pet peeves, etc. ... ideally with brief explanations so they can be understood.
And include a link to this thread.
(I’m usually not a fan of creating new threads, but since the basics should be gathered in one place here, it’s easier if this is all in the first post of one thread.)

Thanks to everyone participating in the discussion. Unfortunately, the way you are contributing to this discussion is not very helpful: You were clearly instructed to urgently verify the quality of the foundation slab and the existing planning. And what do you do? You keep going down the same dead-end path, trying to turn the foundation slab into a design contest. Like a bad joke teller whose punchline is about to get shut down, you come back with "one more thing" and present another floor plan proposal—with the flawed punchline of linking an undersized staircase to the question of whether the hallway is wide enough.
IS THERE A DOCTOR IN THE ROOM?
The planner from the previous landowner surely designed an entire house for the foundation slab—probably with a functional floor plan, surprisingly. It seems you will only realize the need to at least find out about this existing planning after the opening of Berlin Brandenburg Airport BER :-(

However, in the afternoon I looked up the details of the foundation slab. It is a 30cm (12 inches) reinforced concrete slab, insulated, with a ring ground conductor. Dimensions are 12.49m x 12.49m (41 feet x 41 feet). I have requested the original plans from the local authority, which will be sent to me. Unfortunately, it cannot be provided immediately.

All underground pipes are connected to the drainage system.
That’s a good start, @MBS2201. Once you have the documents, you should take the time to create a new thread with all the available information:
- desired room layout
- site plan
- one or two elevations from the architect’s draft showing the hillside location
- previous design from the predecessor
- your first own idea
and ideally brief explanations of why certain elements are placed where in this initial idea.
You can already start gathering all the information for the thread opening, save the texts (including the checklist) in a Word file so you’re ready to get started as soon as the permits from the building authority/planning department are issued.
It’s recommended to attach JPGs in the first post whenever possible. Anything that is hard to read can then be uploaded again as an additional PDF in a second post within the new thread.
Then comes the combined brainstorming—I’m sure of it. This is definitely a special challenge.
If needed, you can later add more versions in post 3 and onwards, preferably with a few words about each one, and create a separate post per version in the thread… each including ground floor and upper floor plans.

Maybe you find it good and it makes sense to continue working on the drawing. I believe it would be more efficient if the other participants’ revisions were based on the "old" plans, instead of continuing this concrete slab reuse competition.
Once you have these plans together, I generally agree with the procedure suggested by kbt09. That is, in the first post of the new thread, I would include the completed questionnaire and the detailed drawing of the foundation slab, and in the second post, the floor plans and elevations.

It would be helpful to know the actual quality on site, meaning photo documentation of the parts already covered (insulation, pipe routing, drainages). Do you know the reason for sale by the previous owner, especially if it might be related to construction issues?
