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!

I prefer option 4a. I like that the master bedroom for seniors is planned entirely on the ground floor along with its full suite. The floor plans appeal to me only until I see the elevations: I find the brick cladding borderline appropriate, but the combination with the hipped roof, especially on the top floor, seems unsuitable. On the other hand, since last Saturday’s Wilsberg episode, I know that Overbeck likes liver sausage with apple sauce. The brick cladding has a rather lighter sandy tone. Otherwise, it would look too dark.
Please draw the correct furniture by hand into the living space.
You don’t have the large space between the dining table and sofa as shown in the plan.
Walking into the stairs is not ideal, but with the size of the house, compromises have to be made. There are worse things.
Layout 4a with the bedroom facing north appeals to me more.

The brick cladding has a somewhat lighter sandy tone. Like with @blaupuma? – in my opinion, that only softens it slightly: it’s still brick cladding after all; and the hip roof remains as well.
By the way, I specifically mention it in my signature: "Full Quote is not necessary." I have the impression that for some participants (possibly those using mobile devices?) it doesn’t quite work properly.
I just noticed – regarding the questionnaire: in #40 – that you have no restrictions on the roof type. In that case, I would go with a shed roof here.

Basically, the parent wing should be designed like in one of the proposals, with the doors to the bathroom and bedroom located BEFORE the walk-in closet. Then I would also place the bed against the exterior wall. In option 4, the layout is somewhat confusing.
Also, in my opinion, the toilet in the bathroom should be next to a window, while the shower can be without one.
In one version, the open living area is 6.60 meters wide (21.7 feet) – that’s definitely better than 6.10 meters (20 feet).
However, I’m not a fan at all of the lounge area being used as a passageway to the kitchen. You simply can’t relax there. Also, the utility room door in the kitchen disrupts the kitchen counters. This is clearly visible in both versions. I don’t understand why a separate staff entrance to the utility room is planned: you’re not building a castle, so the routes to the main entrance are short. You enter the house through the utility room, trip over laundry, unload the weekly groceries, then have to go through the living room to the hallway just to get to your coat rack... I see this as avoidable in both layouts.
Regarding the window situations in the kitchen, there’s nothing more to say: in one plan, the window is blocked by the carport, while in the other it’s completely missing.

Then I would go with a single-pitch roof here.I/we find single-pitch roofs partly attractive, but then two sections have to meet. Because of our large roof terrace (due to the single-story design), a single-pitch roof alone wouldn’t look as good. The current roof shape allows us to have high ceilings. However, this leaves only about 50 cm (20 inches) of space for small items in the attic.
