Too small to read the text though.

You sure are picky for wanting free consulting services.

Can you read the text?

Text doesn't matter much; the door location does, and that's what you were looking for. Right?

Aps, see HobbyArch's history... aka does not know much about architecture so don't expect your obvious example to work here.

Hobby also likes to ask for free design services then argue that the advice that he is given is not correct. It's a waste of your time to try and educate the person.

apscoradiales: I know some villas have stairs down to the basement with stairs right after the door, I just don't know if people think it's ok between the ground floor and second floor.

its not ok, it doesn't meet the codes. Just because they use to do something does not mean we should continue to do so

I believe he is in Sweden. Architect is not a protected title there.

That's right.

zero

I wouldn't say you turned out just fine.

That person does not value their skills. Also, it may be permitted in some area, but like everything else you've posted, just because it's feasible does not make it a good idea.

This is another house. Only about 2700 square feet. 

I can easily move the door if it's necessary. I just thought it would be nice if the door to the balcony is included on that floor.

The idea of the house is that you can rent out the second floor when the children move out. 

wow, why you talk like a real architect trying to solve real practical problems for a real client. You are even talking about scenarios of renting out the second floor when the children move out. I thought you were doing some imaginary house as your "hobby"?

Imagine during desk critic, you tell your professor that you are thinking about renting out the 2nd floor of your dream house design. That is a joke only arch students can get. We don't even discuss what kind of wall you will have and you are imagining renting out 2nd floor after the children move out?

Jay, granted this does not remove any of the deserved criticism towards HobbyArch, but turning projects into rental spaces and calculating construction costs, mortgage, ROI, etc was part of my arch undergrad. Big help when I got into the working world.

Ohh that is definitely not my under grad. We don't talk about code or construction stuff in studio. It is forbidden to bring those into the academic bubble. Things like budget are thought as constrains for people's creativity. If you bring those realities in, it will be frowned upon as a boring project. It is all about the big concepts, ideas, pretty presentations. Of course different schools have different pedagogy. If you ask me, you really need to learn those design thinking, the real stuff can be learned through practice. If not, you are going to be thinking about those stair doors when doing imaginary house design instead of focusing on forms, function, spaces, circulations, natural lights, views, assemblies, materials, etc.

Yep, we already hammered that "design over mundane details" to the OP on her last visit to the forums. To clarify my earlier points, my undergrad and master programs (both different schools) ran business and building tech electives alongside studio that allowed this sort of interaction with reality. I did have one crazy sky-hook-filled design project were I needed to present to investors proper ROI tho. Nothing like trying to bring fun design items into real-world $ terms.

Jay - my undergrad education had had building code, detailing, zoning, and budgets in our studio classes.

Nope. You are, in this very narrow definition of the word, special.

I would use the word 'touched' .

You guys are special too.

That's not what that means. We've discredited your design because it's bad design. The reasons as to why is bad have been very straight-forward.

but what about whataboutism

Stairs are required to be designed to the building code of the jurisdiction they are built in. They form a vital part of the exiting in case of emergency for the occupant of the building. Find the building code for your area and read it. Than you can imagine your occupants getting out safely when there is a fire.

Indeed.

Most of the US uses the IRC for residential building codes. This is the relevant section: https://codes.iccsafe.org/content/IRC2018/chapter-3-building-planning#IRC2018_Pt03_Ch03_SecR311.7.6. A door as you show is not allowed. Though my house, and many other older houses, have a door there.

to be honest this is how it is in every american single family house i've ever known, so i think everyone's just having fun with you. it's probably fine - except of course only the local code matters, not what we say.

Hobby - Sweden has residential building codes that govern the design of stairs.

Not doors infront of stairs.

Yes it does.

Well if its on an internet forum it must be true! Don't actually go look in a real building code book or anything.

That would mean that what is said on this internet forum is false as well. And what makes you say the rules wasn't posted on the forum.

All that matters are the codes thats are legislated by your local authority having jurisdiction.

you still have not learned much from the interactions here. What you show is not design nor is it really architecture. It's just generic space planning. We're actually pushing you to look at this with a minimum amount of creativity but all you do is ignore it. That's ok tho. I have hobbies too which I'm not particularly good at. The difference is, you don't want to get better.

You misunderstand completely and you don't know me. Jävla rövhål.

drawing floor plans isn't architecture; it's drafting.

I think we're all pretty much aware of what you are and what you're capable of.

Sometimes I simply miss the drafting, too much architecture going on...

Uncalled for Hobby, I can read Swedish

wow OP calm down, not sure if you are responding to me. "Sorry for being interested in architecture and having it as a hobby" Dude can you read? I am just curious why you spend time on those useless issues when it serves you nothing. You can't do a full CD set, you are not planning to be an architect. Why bother to learn codes and door in front of stair kind of useless stuff? When that actual construction day comes for your dream house, hire an actual architect to do those things for you. Just hand them your grand design and let them do it. I just feel like you are derailing your "architecture hobby" here buddy. Several months in, still on schematic plan, different one too. Don't tell me you think you can forum post your way to finish the whole CD set, it won 't happen buddy. You could not even finish SD stuff yet.

Hobby - you've lost all respect here with your insult. You've lost even more for being a coward and doing so in a language you assumed we don't speak.  Don't call someone a fucking asshole and expect people to be kind to you. I suggest you pack up your fragile ego and leave before you get your feelings hurt even more.

I have already answered all of that but you still don't get it.

architecture school isn't a safe space -- expect to get painfully frank criticism
