Hello,
We are planning a single-family house with exterior dimensions of 9.5 × 11.4 meters (31.2 × 37.4 feet). The entrance is on the north side. On the south side is the garden, which extends 12 meters (39.4 feet) to the neighboring property. The neighbor must maintain a 12-meter (39.4-foot) distance from our garden due to building setback requirements. We are building without a basement and have two children. The design includes two full floors plus one recessed top floor. The top floor must be set back 0.5 meters (1.6 feet) on all sides; for this reason, the staircase is not located directly at the entrance. The house should have a modern style with many windows. Ceiling heights are 2.8 meters (9.2 feet) on the ground floor and recessed top floor, and 2.6 meters (8.5 feet) on the first floor. We are not architects and appreciate any advice!
Thank you in advance.

Shading saves on cooling systems
Shade windows after sun exposure
Keep ventilation off during the day
Turn ventilation on at night and also ventilate additionally
This year, we never had temperatures above 23°C (73°F)For us, having a very bright room is essential for quality of life. A neighbor back then always lowered the shutters at noon and raised them again after sunset. My colleague also always has to fully close the blinds when he’s working. I think people have very different preferences when it comes to light. But of course, no one wants to stay inside an apartment at 27°C (81°F), so our goal is to cool the temperature down somehow without darkening the room completely. Maybe with an air-to-water heat pump, a ventilation system, or air conditioning? Or do you know of other options?
We have a cooling function in the underfloor heating system. However, it is not very effective, as it doesn’t actually provide a comfortable cooling effect, which is technically not possible with this system. So, I don’t need that again. I think an air conditioning system is the only real option to cool down effectively. While shading can’t completely prevent heating, it can delay it.

We were glad that it never went above 30°C (86°F) in our house. However, with our poorly designed house, I’m still not sure if everything is working properly with the heating system. On top of that, unfortunately, the sun shines directly on the windows all day, and the only way to darken them is with blinds integrated into the glass. Do you have tile or hardwood flooring?
