Hello... we have the following issue. Since we donât want too many different window heights in the house and also donât find the transition from a 130cm (51 inches) sill height to a low window in the same room or at the junctions particularly attractive, we are facing the above-mentioned problem. Actually, Iâm not even sure if itâs really a problem.

2. In theory, you could mirror the rooms, which would probably work, but then what do you do about the window sill heights on the south side of the rooms...
Well, Iâd say a sill height of 130 cm (51 inches) is quite common in houses, so it canât be that bad... of course, where it makes sense. For me, it makes sense in the bathroom. Honestly, I wouldnât know where else to have a sill height of 55 cm (22 inches).
We have also noticed the issue with the doors... The utility room... we wanted to have direct access from the garage to the storage room or kitchen. The garage wonât have an additional room anyway; it was just marked here for illustration. The garage has only one door leading to the garden and one to the house. The bathroom having two doors makes sense to me, opposite the childrenâs room, right? And having to walk around from the bedroom is inconvenient. Under the stairs is the storage closet, and I donât see why I should omit it.

The various projections and recesses between the ground floor and the upper floor mentioned by @11ant: I find them visually appealing, but they do cause significant additional costs and can be a potential weak point if poorly executed. I would even go further and say (or rather, I have already hinted at this): I almost expect that the additional costs (but not the higher price) will be compensated for by poor workmanship. I suspect the motivation is simply a "fear" of otherwise excessive simplicity (or reasons like the dogma of a specific sofa-to-TV distance, which marked the start of the R.Hotzenplotz disaster https://www.hausbau-forum.de/threads/grundrissplanung-kurz-vor-bauantragsstellung.25647/).
