Hello, today I had to wait for an hour and only had my notebook with me... so I just doodled a bit.
This is my very first draft of the ground floor, and it probably still has quite a few mistakes.
What I’m curious about is whether there are any major errors here (for example, the staircase?).
North is at the bottom right.
One square represents half a meter (0.5 m / 20 inches).

I partly agree with you. However, I think the situation might be the opposite of what you assume.
I really want to build a house, and perhaps the reason for the many distractions is that I already envision the finished rooms in my mind—with a pool table in the basement, a pantry with wooden shelves, a nicely lit straight staircase, and so on—and then it just doesn’t work out the way I imagine it, which makes me quite annoyed and frustrated.
Without a basement, I also see storage space as a challenge, but that wouldn’t be a dealbreaker. Looking at our office and the two basement rooms, they are already overcrowded with tools, garden furniture and equipment, skis, tires, jackets, shoes, paint and varnishes, etc. So, a room behind the garage fills up quickly, especially since we don’t have children yet. Sure, we could sort through and throw some things away, but not more than about 10%.

but no more than 10%. Well... before moving, we had bulky waste collection. You wouldn’t believe how much we threw away because we downsized from 140 with a basement to 108 without. It all adds up.

Is #180 the final design? No wonder you want a basement! You’ve wasted a lot of space on hallways.Hello, these are still just drafts and drawings made by me, not by the architect... That’s why we currently don’t have a solution for the issues mentioned by ypg.If you’re going to see the architect anyway, let them figure out how to fit all the above-ground necessary rooms, plus space for two separate retreat areas. That’s what they are paid for, and if you go in and say: we want this and that, don’t want this or that, and everything must fit without a basement, the architect might come up with solutions you would never think of yourselves because you’re already too fixated.
