too much wasted space, why not build some nice pods instead?

>>25597576 It would be nicer if utility block allowed circular movement. I.e. one more door to the kitchen from abovep

Also no separate toilet for a 4-person apartment is ridiculous

>>25597608 I wanted all non storage rooms to have their own window, so I didnt want to add ans additional toilet, but it would likely be an issue if a smaller family moves in instead of a single bernd or a childless couple. >>25597595 I was thinking of adding ans balcony door to the bedroom next to it, in the kitchen adding a second entrance didnt come to mind.

weird labryinthian corridors offset the entrance door to the common room and remove some of those walls

The most I would share with a neighbor is a balcony, assuming it has a solid lock. Everything about this is far too commie for me, like I'd prefer the fucking pod.

>>25597701 everything in this apartment plan is private, you wouldnt share it. >>25597696 interesting but I dont like this, kitchen should be a room of its own + seperate storage/closet rooms are very useful

I would never voluntarily live in an apartment

You need 2 bedrooms for your entire gypsy family?

>>25597727 Those arent "rooms" you made, they are capital wardrobes, not even "walk-in" because you cant do anything inside except rotate in place. And all those walls of what I assume to be 5 cm gypsum block are overkill, they must eat like over a square meter of floorspace, plus wall detailing. Same task is done with simple board furniture, floor to ceiling if you want, washing machine and dryer inside if you want. You can make all those walls and all this storage room standing floor into useful storage space and add to kitchen/bathrooms.

kitchen and bathroom are too small

>>25597727 Ah, the two double beds made me think it was a roommate deal. In that case I'd shift the center bedroom to the SW corner to offer a bit of audio privacy

>>25597576 Too many walls, wasted small spaces. Why is the kitchen not right next the living room ? >>25597727 >kitchen should be a room of its own Are you from the 70's ?

>>25597786 >Are you from the 70's ? Actually the 70s way would be a counter separating the kitchen from the rest of the room, doubling as dinner table. Which might be a good idea in this case

You're wasting your time. I already explained to you the H plan, which is the standard everywhere in the world today. It's only rare in Europe because euro buildings are old. 1- notice that the only wall that the apartments share is the living room one. A non-private part of the house which is usually only used during the day, so you don't have to worry about neighbour wall noise in your bedrooms. 2- the hallway with the stairs and elevators are used to separate two sets of apartments on one side and two sets on the other, thus avoiding another shared wall. The windows facing this side of the apartment (the internal part of the H) are usually kitchen, laundry room or bathroom windows. They are meant for ventilation only, so it's ok to be facing another apartment so closely (this plant here is retarded because the dude placed a bedroom window facing this internal side of the H). The bedroom and living room windows all face the outside, giving nice views, sunlight, and privacy. 3- notice that if you want to build bigger apartments, you can expand the hallway and thus the rooms indefinitely to the sides. You basically have windows and ventilation on three sides, good and private views on two, and only one shared wall which is the non-private part of the house. And it's very adaptable. 90% of the buildings in Brazil are built like this, same goes for Hong Kong or any other city that grew up in the post-war only. This is simply the standard these days. In many cases here in Brazil they build only half of the H, because of lot size limitation. You can see it in pics 2 and 3. The bedrooms and living room all face the front of the building, while on the other side you have small windows giving ventilation to the kitchen, laundry room and bathroom, also the lobby with stairs and elevators (it kinda looks like the building's spine), and even a place to put the AC units. All of this would be mirrored if they had built the other side of the H.

>>25597763 On second thought, I'd nix the hallways and move the storage closets to the bedrooms. The hallways serve no practical purpose and take up valuable space. Toss a cleaning/general storage closet in the living room. The saved space can be added to the bedrooms, kitchen, and/or another bath. Living room is also pretty large compared to the rest of the place.

>>25597786 I would have a separate toilet. And switch the place of the bedroom and kitchen.

>>25597727 Listen to Spain. With his fix inhabitants at least won't have to go through the entrance area (where muddy boots and outerwear are) every time they want something from that unusable kitchen of yours. And the hall wouldn't be clogged every time more than 1 person wants to go anywhere.

>>25597819 More external wall = more heat loss

>>25597819 what goes on here?

>>25599726 big pile of trash thrown out of the windows

>>25597819 lmao you can see directly into your neighbors bedreem.

>>25599768 is that a gap lmao that's such a useless waste of space

>>25597790 that counter makes a good bar

>>25597842 Oooh I like this one. OP should go with this.

I integrated my kitchen into the living/dining room. It's really convenient not having to run to a different room to grab something from the fridge. Or think of all the time you spend carrying dishes around from room to room. Also, this way I can watch the children while cooking, without having to lock them up with me in a tiny kitchen.
