Hello everyone,
We are going to build an end-of-terrace house together with a general contractor and have, of course, already planned the floor plans and thought them through accordingly.
The plot measures 10 x 21m (33 x 69 ft), and as currently planned, the maximum available space has been used up, leaving us with enough room for the garden.
On the ground floor, the staircase will be closed off at the bottom and then used as additional storage for drinks or cleaning supplies. The utility connections will also be located in the cloakroom—my wife wanted a separate room so that shoes and jackets don’t always clutter the hallway.
From November, we will be four people, so we have decided to live together on one floor (the upper floor) with our two very small children, as it is simply more practical. A requirement for our master bedroom was the possibility to place a wardrobe 3m (10 ft) wide. However, we are still not completely satisfied with the layout of the upper floor, although we cannot think of any alternatives. The bathroom should stay the same size.
The attic will include a guest room, which will mainly serve as a playroom for the children and me. A large dormer will be added there. Later, one of the older children could move up there, and the two children's bedrooms on the upper floor would be combined into one large room. We both need a home office, so it is designed somewhat larger.
We intentionally moved the technical equipment to the attic because we are building without a basement, which would have meant placing it on the ground floor. That would have significantly reduced the available space there. We will also use this area for the washing machine and dryer, as well as an additional storage room.
Additionally, we will have a converted loft with a height of 1.36m (4 ft 6 in) as extra storage space.
I look forward to your suggestions.

We enjoy powerful vehicles. This means it is simply cheaper (and possibly safer) to provide the guys with used cars rather than adding them as new drivers on the insurance. Then there is also the motorhome.
Ouch. If the middle house plot is so unfavorable (narrow and occupied by parking spaces), it is very likely that potential buyers will want to build with a basement (simply because the footprint would have to compensate painfully for the lack of basement space).
On the one hand, theoretically: one might think that instead of groups of three, groups of two should have been planned. On the other hand, in practice: this situation unfortunately reflects the current market demand — whether you would theoretically have to be a superhero to live in the resulting houses or not, people really want these plots that are as tiny as their budgets :-(

We enjoy powerful engines. Yes, it would be helpful if @goalkeeper could clarify whether he has 2 cars and actually needs 2 real parking spaces, or if he only has one car and the second parking space is just a formality on paper. Nobody really parks sideways in front of the house, do they?

Nobody really parks sideways in front of the house, right? I already answered you – we have two cars and therefore need two real parking spaces. However, one could be parked sideways in front of the house or both on the side. Moving the house further back and losing valuable garden space just because of the parking spots is not an option.

I already answered you—I have two cars and therefore need two dedicated parking spaces. Oh, really? I must have missed that. I had thought you needed to build two parking spaces but only have one car.

If so, one would be parked sideways in front of the house or both on the side. Moving the house further back just to make room for parking and losing valuable garden space is not an option. Hmm. Both options sound pretty inconvenient to me. How wide is the parking strip in front of your house for the one that has to park sideways?
I had considered taking a corner out of the ground floor of the house to make room for the cars. Something like this:
But of course, you lose living space in the house that way—without a basement, things start to get quite tight. Remind me, how long is the building plot again?
