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.

chand19864 Jan 2018 18:28I fully agree with kbt09’s suggestion.
Until then, fiddling around with old proposals won’t get you anywhere.
So: wait for the response from the local authority, come back here with that information, and in the meantime, be sure to take care of your own nerves. If necessary, just do nothing for a while.
Honestly, it sounds like you’re mentally exhausted. That’s neither good for you nor for anyone trying to help.
There are people in this thread who can and will be helpful, as long as you provide the information requested above.

Hello, I will gather the information and start a new thread to revisit this topic.
However, I still have some questions.
1. The drawing of the foundation slab is available, and the architect used it as a base for the house.
All the PVC pipes have been installed exactly as shown, plus 2 additional connections in the ground floor pantry.
The only difference from the drawing is that the foundation slab measures 12.49 x 12.49 m² (41 x 41 ft²).
The foundation slab was inspected and approved by the structural engineer (30 cm [12 inches] thick).
--> What is the purpose of the original house plan drawing?
The house is supposed to be built exactly on this foundation slab. Demolition is not planned.
I somehow find it hard to imagine that no floor plan can be placed on such a large foundation slab with numerous connections. The architect also created the design that you found unsatisfactory due to the layout.
Surely it should be possible with, for example, a different room layout, another staircase, both levels being the same size, etc.
We would like to start in spring, and the construction company is starting to pressure us, as otherwise they will accept another project and we might only be able to start from the fourth quarter. I want to avoid a double burden as much as possible.

Please read through the entire thread again.
There are still open questions, such as the passage between the garage and the house. Recently, there have been expressions of dissatisfaction with the ground floor layout. Although you have often mentioned that you incorporated our ideas, we found it hard to follow… for example, the bedroom arrangement and so on. Then there’s the staircase, which is centrally located, yet at the same time you criticize the brightness in the stairwell. And so on, so really go through everything carefully and organize it in a structured way. This will help you gain clarity as well. Anything you want to explain in writing to others needs to be thought through enough that you can express it clearly and concisely. If you can’t do that, it usually indicates that you still have some uncertainties yourself.
That’s why a fresh start, where you also present your collected thoughts, would be better.
Has the garage foundation slab already been laid? Is the construction above the cistern outlet okay?
------------
And did the architect you parted ways with ever provide any cost estimates?

It is also intended to be done. It’s just that your architect’s work so far has been considered insufficient.
However, to provide better suggestions, the helpers need the requested information.
The forum’s role (assistance) is to help you—with enough information(!)—to develop a better proposal, which can then be refined into a building plan by a professional (architect).

The house is supposed to be built exactly on this foundation slab. We can follow you so far. However, I think it doesn’t make sense not to at least discuss the "old" design alongside all the possible floor plan ideas that can be developed from the "foundation slab" stage. Maybe it’s actually a great starting point, and you even have good chemistry with its planner (?).
I also maintain that you should investigate the circumstances of the sale. If the previous owner is going through a divorce, fine. But if the reason is that a technically correct foundation slab is unfortunately at the wrong height, or all the pipes come out correctly but the insulation underneath was forgotten, or something similar, then get rid of it. You seem to have hopelessly fallen in love with this foundation slab. But being a home builder is not just about emotions; it’s also about using your head.

The foundation slab was inspected by an energy consultant during construction. Reinforcement and insulation are present.
I have seen photos. Additionally, the accuracy was reviewed again by a structural engineer, who also checked the documentation (used materials, insulation, reinforcement, etc.).
From the previous owner, I have only received the information that the sale was due to "personal reasons."
If two independent experts have confirmed that the slab is sound, I see no reason to have it demolished.
