Hello everyone,
We are currently in the process of purchasing the plot of land shown in the site plan. On this plot, we plan to build a single-family house with two full stories plus a basement, including a garage.
Attached is a preliminary floor plan, which was developed together with a prefabricated house manufacturer. However, we are still quite flexible. For the ground floor, we have created a second design because we now believe it makes more sense to separate the living area from the kitchen/dining area, rather than the kitchen from the living/dining area. This would also allow for the kitchen island layout that we find more visually appealing.
Best regards and many thanks for your time

Take a look at the houses by @daniels87 (as far as I know, unfortunately only in the house pictures thread, not with floor plans) or by @KingSong as examples; in the latter case, the mother-in-law extension regarding the garage could be inspiring for how to compose building structures.But now you are comparing apples and oranges. KingSong’s house has a very cool and modern design. If you want to achieve a warmer look, you have to build differently. Narrow slit windows and a gray roof are a no-go.
However, I would possibly also omit the porch roof and the glass front in the middle.

But now you’re comparing apples and oranges. I’m not comparing anything. One of these might be an apple and the other a pear, but both represent coherent implementations that align with the general concept being discussed here. I refer to daniels87’s house as an example of designing a building volume with comparable proportions, and KingSong’s house as an example of an extended composition (with the mother-in-law wing standing in this case for the garage).

There’s a question in the questionnaire asking what you particularly like. You left that open. I think if you have the chance to realize a project like this within budget and space, three highlights that you really like in your design should come to mind.
One person has always wanted a walk-in closet, another considers a straight staircase a highlight, as mentioned a window seat, a large glazed front, clever layout with direct access to the bathroom from the bedroom.
What is it for you? Well, we actually excluded a walk-in closet from the start because we don’t really like it and haven’t quite found the purpose yet. Regarding the staircase design, we find both a half-landing staircase (like in the floor plan by @kaho674) very cool and easy to walk. However, we also think the current quarter-turn staircase is very nice as it visually enlarges the hallway and acts as a “style element.” We have attached two pictures. In one, we find the wood paneling quite stylish (but we are probably too pragmatic – maintenance over the years would probably stop us from realizing it) (Source: Weberhaus). We really like the brick-clad garage (Source: Viebrockhaus), but we consciously chose the classic roof overhangs because we don’t really like the short ones. Regarding colors, we would go for gray bricks and gray window frames – the current exterior view is simply incorrect there.
@kaho674 many thanks for your effort. You would then start the garage next to the front door and cover it a bit more, or where exactly would you place the garage in relation to the house? Of course you are completely right that the passageway takes up a lot of space. One idea we had based on your floor plan, I have attached as a sketch. That might also be an option. It would also have the advantage that, later in life, one could separate the upper and lower floors well. But it could cause problems on the upper floor, as significantly more hallway space might be needed there.
As I said, many thanks to all of you for the suggestions, ideas, and critical remarks! We wish you a pleasant weekend.
