ᐅ Single-Family Home Floor Plan, Avoiding Mistakes from the Start

Hello,
As the saying goes, many hands make light work.
Since various mistakes can occur during the planning of a house like this, I wanted to ask if you could take a quick look and possibly point out any "errors."

Without information and ideas, this is difficult, so here are a few details and considerations from us.

The house is intended for four people, with a guest room and a small office. It is very important to us that a person in a wheelchair can live on the ground floor, while the children, guests, etc., could live upstairs in such a case. Unfortunately, the garage could not be made wider due to the shape of the plot. The living room is intentionally not very large and is separated by a sliding door, so it is really only for watching TV; the main focus should be the dining room/kitchen area.

Kind regards,
Me

How limited is the wheelchair user?

Have you marked the traffic routes and turning circles?

Wardrobe not usable for the wheelchair
Access to dining table, terrace, and living room is acceptable as a last resort but tight. Same for the bedroom.
Where should the wheelchair be placed in the living room?
Bathroom: backward entry into the shower? It is too narrow to turn around. How about access to the toilet?

I would remove the door to the garage.
The building services area is your storage, your utility room, and your laundry. There is a lack of space.

Draw your existing or desired furniture to scale.
Mark the circulation areas including the necessary radii.

Wow. Which Viebrock house was the inspiration here? – a captain’s gable at the front and a Frisian gable at the back, taste is subjective. But above the flat roof of the terrace – the garage doesn’t have one at all (?) – a pitched roof emerges, raising the question of how it is supposed to drain.

“In such a case” and “could” sound like an uncertain diagnosis of the (potential?) wheelchair user, and in a house like this, that person could only participate in family life up to the stairs. So far, this does not sound like well-thought-out planning.

First, please fill out the questionnaire.

Accessible housing looks quite different, however.
