What is the most important/basic question about the floor plan in 130 characters?

I wonder whether an open or semi-open kitchen makes more sense here. The current plan has about a 90cm (35 inch) passage from the kitchen to the dining area. This could be widened, I am thinking about 120 to 140cm (47 to 55 inches) with a two-part sliding door. I have concerns about noise, odors, etc. with a fully open plan.

I would be very grateful for advice on the floor plan in general and on the open vs. semi-open kitchen question.

I would first get the princess settled under a roof before starting the castle construction – that would have the advantage that she would have some influence. A wife, in a way, is like at least a bracing wall in the life-building mindset.

For such a small living area, I would find a bungalow much more attractive.

Hi, thanks for the comments. Princess-style houses come and go. Unfortunately, a bungalow is not an option, and if it’s bigger, it would only be possible by compromising on the fittings. I’m already well over 2000€ per square meter (around 185 sq ft), but the fittings are more important to me.

In that case, I would opt for a partial basement. 133 sqm (1432 sq ft) over 2 floors with this floor plan already feels quite cramped. Is a bungalow not allowed according to the building permit / planning permission?

You shouldn’t place the features in a completely different league than the house design. Burl wood in a basic model fails in resale value. And if it already has an over-the-top fairy dust effect without a princess, it will end up being too expensive.
