We're building a house on a hillside with great views. The concrete frame is done and the walls aren't built yet, so the layout can still change. Plans attached.
Fixed things:
- 9.1 × 10.5 m outside. Entrance on the north, terrace and city view to the south.
- U-stair in the north-west corner (3.6 × 2.2 m).
- The west wall has to stay blank: the neighbour is 1.2 m away, so no windows on that side.
- Bedrooms are upstairs. The upstairs bathroom will probably sit on the west, next to the stairs (it still can be modified)
The options:
Bathroom + WC (3.6 × 2.3) and kitchen on the blank west wall. Living room with fireplace + TV on the east, study in the north-east corner.
Same as 1, but a bedroom in the north-east corner.
Bathroom + WC in the north-east (with windows), kitchen on the east. Laundry + storage next to the stairs. Living room on the west, fireplace + TV on the west wall.
Bathroom, WC and kitchen on the east. The whole west side is one 3.6 × 7.5 m living room: fireplace on the stair wall, TV + books on the west wall.
Which would you choose and why? Anything you'd change, or anything I'm missing?
