Hello everyone,
after browsing through many posts, I would like to share the design of an architect from a construction company for a single-family house with 150 sqm (1,615 sq ft) of living space for discussion. Overall, we like it quite a bit, but I am curious about your opinions. Maybe you could take a look.

Development plan/restrictions
Plot size: 711 sqm (7,649 sq ft)
Slope: no
Floor area ratio (FAR): 0.35
Gross floor area ratio (GFA):
Building envelope, building line and boundary: yes, see image
Number of parking spaces: 1 per housing unit
Number of floors: 2
Roof type: gable, hip, pyramid, shed roof
Style: modern
Orientation: south
Maximum height/restrictions: 6.50 m (21 ft 4 in)
Additional requirements

Client requirements
Style, roof type, building type: modern, gable roof
Basement, floors: no basement, 2 full floors
Number of occupants, age: 2 (35), possibly a child
Room requirements on the ground floor: living room, dining room, kitchen, utility room, guest bathroom with shower, cloakroom; on the upper floor: master bedroom with walk-in closet, 1 child’s room, 1 guest/office room, large bathroom
Office: family use
Overnight guests per year: approx. 5
Open or closed architecture: rather open
Conservative or modern design: modern
Open kitchen, kitchen island: yes
Number of dining seats: 6
Fireplace: yes
Music/stereo wall: standard TV wall
Balcony, roof terrace: no
Garage, carport: undecided, but double
Utility garden, greenhouse: no
Additional wishes: storage room behind carport/garage, covered walkway to the main entrance

House design
Who created the design: architect from a construction company
What do you particularly like? Why? open living/dining area, kitchen with corner window implemented, bathroom on upper floor with T-shaped layout
What do you dislike? Why? divided walk-in closet (“walk-in closet” + “storage”), possibly the pantry location, general positioning of the house on the plot (likely due to the building envelope, a lot of space lost on the north side)
Price estimate according to architect/designer: not yet available
Personal price limit for the house, including fittings: €350,000
Preferred heating system: air-to-water heat pump

If you had to give up something, which details/extensions
- could you do without: second room on the upper floor as large as the child’s room
- could you not do without: ?

This is a first preliminary draft from our architect. Unfortunately, no dimensions are included yet; those will only be provided once we approve a design.
One of the most difficult issues is the overall positioning of the house. The building envelope is unfortunately not ideal. The access road runs along the south side. To make optimal use of the plot (building envelope), the house would actually have to be positioned on the northern build boundary, but then it would not be parallel to the road.

I would appreciate your opinions and ideas!

Best regards

That’s not what I meant at all.

I also haven’t understood what @Robbaut meant by that: Is the brief laughter referring to the cliché that business consultants have little knowledge? I’m not a business economist, and corporate consulting can certainly also be technically specialized.
