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!

The pantry would then have to be used for the washing machine. There is still a storage space under the stairs. Maybe move it a bit to the left side of the plan so there’s enough room to move comfortably in the utility room. I really like your design; it’s something different! Especially the entrance area and the staircase layout appeal to me a lot. Is there any way to combine that with my design? Just the arrangement alone could certainly optimize something in the upper floor.
The exterior dimensions of 12.18 * 10.50 meters (40 ft * 34 ft) are correct. The small covered corner is only deducted from the measurements in this case, and is 1.50 meters (5 ft).
I’d prefer to stick with my design unless the lower area (hallway with stairs, utility room, and guest WC) can be arranged better. A small guest WC is sufficient for us.
Kaho, would it be possible to somehow integrate your “open staircase” into our plan as well?

The washing machine should be placed downstairs next to the back door. It leads directly outside to the clothesline, and next to the washing machine there’s a bag with two compartments, one for 30°C (86°F) and one for 60°C (140°F) laundry. That’s how ergonomics work for older people. I know what I’m talking about. I have hung laundry many times. k..However, there is still room for improvement in the process – it depends on what and how you build!
For a two-story house with bedrooms upstairs, I would ALWAYS place the utility room on the upper floor – and of course, a terrace for hanging laundry... THAT is optimization for older age.
But: a) not everyone builds two stories, b) many upper floors do not have space for a utility room, and c) not everyone has a terrace for drying laundry.
So everyone has to "optimize" according to their possibilities. That’s why solutions don’t always look the same.

Therefore, everyone has to "optimize" according to their possibilities. That’s why solutions don’t always look the same. Optimization for aging would include a stairlift moped from the ADAC magazine. From my perspective, having the utility room upstairs is just a current trend and mainly serves present-day convenience. A laundry chute would be a better solution if one really needs such a feature.
