Hello dear forum community,

My wife and I are planning to start our building project in a few months. It will be an urban villa with approximately 160 m² (1,722 sq ft) of living space. We have already purchased the plot of land (540 m² (5,813 sq ft)) and are currently in the planning phase. We would like to build with a general contractor and are actually quite satisfied with the one we have chosen so far.

However, we are not entirely sure about the floor plan and whether it really works well. This is our first (and hopefully last) building project. We would appreciate feedback from more experienced people who can offer us some tips. Thanks in advance!

It doesn’t necessarily have to be a square, but I don’t see how else I could create such a large, open living/dining/kitchen area. We don’t really need the extra room on the ground floor... it would have been nice, but the open living/kitchen/dining area is more important to me. Some things are fixed because of the plot. The carport is on the right, the utility room is on the right, and only the west side is suitable for the garden. I wouldn’t know how to design it differently.

Just Google Hanse Haus Bad Vilbel

Assign the hallway to the living area by removing walls
The upper floor fits not only as an example
The children's bathroom becomes a laundry room
Relaxes the small utility room

Creates more space on the west side

Attached is the modified floor plan...
The change is unfortunately a downgrade :-(
It should have been extended in width.

My wife doesn’t want a window there or a passageway to the hallway, why, only she knows.
No window inside is okay: she probably fears dust caused by increased air circulation – aren’t the closets meant to be closed anyway?
Having to go from the bathroom to the dressing room through the bedroom means waking up your partner at different wake-up times.

Creating a large open-plan space is not difficult. You have 16 meters (52 feet) in depth available: make use of it. This way, you can also have a spacious west-facing garden. The entrance to the house should be located in the first third on the east side.

Get used to thinking in terms of left and right instead of east and west – it’s easier to work with.

Why expand width-wise? That would reduce the openings toward the west even more, or am I missing something? The cabinets are supposed to be open, not closed... yes, I’m aware of that, which is why I still need to discuss it with my wife regarding waking up and so on.
@haydee I also like the floor plan. Of course, it’s also a matter of cost; land prices are already quite high where we are. And looking at it this way, it does seem “more expensive”...

160 sqm (1722 sq ft) is just 160 sqm (1722 sq ft) to start with.
Cost drivers like an additional bathroom for children removed.
Why should the floor plan be expensive right from the start? I don't get it.
