Hello everyone,
we have received the draft design for our house from the builder. The gross floor areas (with a 1m (3.3 ft) knee wall) of the children’s rooms are 14m² (150 sq ft), and the master bedroom is 16m² (172 sq ft).
Is that sufficient? Somehow, I can’t really picture it and am feeling uncertain.
Thank you very much for your help!

Hi! Thank you all for your support! You’re welcome!Milanni123 schrieb:
That’s a good idea! However, I don’t see how to make one room a bit bigger or smaller? Because there are windows everywhere... I hadn’t thought about that. But there is still some space above and below. There’s anyway not enough room next to the windows to place a wardrobe.Also, I would reconsider whether you really want floor-to-ceiling windows with that room size. You lose a lot of usable wall space that way.

But you are definitely right about the kids’ rooms! Those will be the two on the lower floor... Thanks in advance! And again: you’re welcomeBoth children's rooms located at the bottom of the plan do not solve the issue that the children's room on the right side of the plan is still facing north.
The bathroom seems a bit cramped, and the passage from the sink/bathtub to the shower feels slightly narrow.
Therefore, consider placing the children's room on the left side of the plan, the bedroom at the bottom right, the guest room at the top right, and slightly expanding the bathroom in that direction.

With the structured rooms, you have more options than what the drawing shows.
I’ll add to what others have said: juggle several possibilities! However, the waste pipes for the toilets should be aligned vertically, so place the toilet as close as possible to the ground floor toilet.
The hallway to the bedroom is terrible – better to leave it out and use the opportunity to change the bathroom door.
Draw the dimensions on graph paper with millimeter grid, or buy some if necessary – a must for anyone building a house!
Then place furniture templates to scale on your plan.
It’s already quite clear here that cabinets are placed in front of the windows. Make sure that 65cm (26 inches) deep cabinets do not have to be placed in front of windows. Otherwise, the windows need to be spaced further apart – this shouldn’t be a problem with the specified knee wall height.
Windows can be moved or chosen 20cm (8 inches) narrower – if an extra charge applies for this, I’d be surprised.

Bieber0815: I will seriously consider moving the windows!
Because I also believe that we lose a lot of layout options that way.
The bathroom actually feels quite tight to me as well. Do you possibly have better ideas to fit everything in?
I would prefer not to swap rooms, since I’d rather have a smaller bathroom than bedrooms that are too small for children.
Thanks to all of you!

Milanni12318 Feb 2016 20:23...I got creative and tried to "recreate" it. Once with a T-layout, once without...
On one hand, I love the T-layout because it offers privacy when using the toilet... On the other hand, the other arrangement feels less cramped in terms of space.
What are your thoughts?
