Hello everyone,
we are in the process of building a single-family house with a basement suitable for living. This is the design we have come up with. I would like to hear from you if you see any possibilities for improvements.
On the ground floor, there is a side entrance door on the right. The carport will be located there.
In the basement living area, the children's rooms face south. From there, it should be possible to access the terrace and the garden.
I look forward to your tips and suggestions!

Of course, the architect should have the freedom to design—that’s actually what we want! We are meeting in person now because our general contractor needed a rough idea of what we have in mind (a basic floor plan), and the architect copied everything I provided exactly as it was. That’s why I’m thinking things over at the moment. Time is running, and we want to get started soon, but the floor plan needs to be finalized first!Sorry, I don’t really understand the situation.
You’ve already been to an architect? From the general contractor? And you already have a draft? And now you’re going to see someone else?
Anyway, once you bring something already drawn along, there’s no more freedom for the design.

Yes, just don’t bring any proposals. They immediately stop thinking then.That’s exactly right. Well said.
If you show a proposal, they assume that’s exactly what you want… even if it’s completely unorthodox.
Well, of course, you think about your own preferences in advance!
And about "carrying those few things down to the basement every time..." but then demanding access to the garden. Okay, it's a matter of taste, but I would still prefer to have the daily groceries quickly and conveniently delivered to where they are needed every day!

First of all, the main goal right now is simply to have something to build on.... We understand that additional costs will arise... Okay? What arrangements have you made with the architect? Is there an initial floor plan draft without payment? Our first architect wouldn’t have lifted a finger without a signed contract covering service phases 1-4. The first meeting was just a preliminary discussion and gathering of basic data. Just so you don’t have unrealistic expectations regarding the timeline.
