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!

Please don’t keep making the bathroom smaller, because it is really important to us!If you want to reduce the floor area, you have to make compromises at some point; you can’t have luxury and build small at the same time.

In this plan, the staircase simply doesn’t work with the tread at the bottom. I’d say you need at least one meter (3.3 feet) at the bottom tread.I would be quite disappointed with the architect then, since she was the one who proposed it that way.

The three rooms (master bedroom, dressing room, and bathroom) have to be together. Moving them upstairs then conflicts with the single-story design, and placing them downstairs either makes the space too cramped or increases the area so much (if everything is properly planned) that the house ends up over 160 m² (1,722 sq ft)...
It’s not about luxury, but when you’re building anyway, everyone tries to realize their ideas as well as possible. A practical bathroom should be the foundation since it’s used frequently and should also provide a place to relax!

It doesn’t always have to be the popular T-shape (which I personally don’t really like anyway).
I’m not referring to the architect’s plan but to the one you posted. Maybe the staircase is just misplaced there, but in the architect’s plan it is definitely further from the wall (exactly as in mine). I estimate about 1.30 m (4 feet 3 inches), whereas in your plan it’s maybe just 60 cm (2 feet).

Please don’t take this the wrong way, okay?
