Regarding the two doors in the bedroom. For me, it's simply because I have to get up at 4:30, while she only gets up at 6.

For exactly those reasons, you should enter the bedroom through the walk-in closet and not the other way around. You get up, leave the bedroom (so you are in the walk-in closet), close the door, and the other person can continue sleeping.

I had the same suggestion, but it was rejected..

happens is no coincidence but a causal relationship. If you add something extra into a predefined overall outline (shown here as a perimeter), something else has to give. If you try to include both, the outline breaks. That’s why as long as your first attempts are still awkward, the dimensions must stay out of the process. It’s a classic beginner’s mistake to try to check if everything fits and works “simultaneously” while drawing, out of uncertainty.

There’s a reason why world-renowned architects at this stage just scribble with a pen on a napkin. Even the Burj al-Arab started as a “house of Nikolaus” (a children’s drawing game). Only gradually do you develop from that “the Nikolaus Distelmeier house, especially budget-friendly with financing from the savings bank.”

What’s the difference between a layperson and an architect?
The architect sketches, optimizes, and designs, while the layperson shifts walls around with numbers and goes around in circles. Or is he getting in his own way? [emoji848][emoji849]

You should look at other floor plan discussions; then you’ll understand why sometimes one door is better than two.

I haven't really taken the two doors at face value yet; rather, I see them as showing multiple possible door positions simultaneously. After all, only the child with the room that is 12 cm (5 inches) wider actually has a door, and it opens outward. The second child is effectively sealed in. In a windowless house, this is only consistent.

From this perspective, I see this primarily as just a sketch of the room layout—"misleadingly" already with walls of varying thickness...

I’ve read quite a bit here already, and there are plenty of opinions on the topic of doors.

Regarding architects: I was initially in favor of hiring one... but then I saw some architect-designed homes and heard from an acquaintance that she had to pay a five-figure sum just for the plans. That’s why I actually decided to move away from using an architect.
