Hello everyone,
After a long wait, the first floor plan is ready. I would appreciate it if you could take a critical look and give me your feedback.
Development Plan / Restrictions
Plot size 643 sqm (7,000 sq ft)
Floor area ratio 0.30
Building window, building line and boundary
Edge development
Number of parking spaces 2
Number of floors 1
Roof type Gable roof
Architectural style
Orientation
Maximum height / limits FH 9.0 m (29.5 ft)
Other requirements
Homeowners’ Requirements
Style, roof shape, gable roof, four-gable
Basement, floors 1, no basement
Number of residents, ages 5 persons (34, 31, 7, 5, 1)
Space needs on ground floor and upper floor
Kitchen, living room, guest shower toilet, utility/technical room, smaller office/guest room
Office: family use or home office?
Number of overnight guests per year 10
Open or closed architecture partly open, partly closed
Conservative or modern design a healthy mix of both
Open kitchen with island, semi-open kitchen with island would be nice
Number of dining seats 6–8
Fireplace No
Music / stereo wall
Balcony, roof terrace
Garage, double garage
Useable garden, greenhouse Garden for pleasant evenings, children’s birthday parties, etc.
Other wishes / special features / daily routine, including reasons for preferences
We would like a larger but semi-open kitchen, as we cook and/or bake daily. The children also like to help in the kitchen.
If possible, I would also like an additional utility room on the upper floor, since all laundry-related tasks take place upstairs.
House Design
Who made the design:
– Planner from a construction company
What do you especially like? Why? Living/kitchen area is nicely large, lots of space for the family
Upstairs a beautiful large play hallway with additional storage space.
What don’t you like? Why?
Guest toilet door is somewhat awkward, too narrow? Hallway wastes too much space?? Where should a proper coatroom go? Entrance area is not appealing? The front door feels too small for the house, the guest toilet window does not fit visually. No idea how to improve this.
Price estimate according to architect/planner: still open / will follow once the floor plan and thus house size is fixed
Personal price limit for the house including fittings and fixtures:
Preferred heating system:
If You Have to Give Up, which details or extensions
– can you give up:
– can you not give up:
Why is the design the way it is now?
What makes it particularly good or bad in your opinion?
What is the most important/basic question about the floor plan, summarized in 130 characters?
Upper floor looks good, entrance area could be better
Would a different staircase allow a better layout?
Thank you in advance

Overall, the floor plan works well. I would remove the kitchen door and redesign the kitchen, perhaps with an island or peninsula. I would also reverse the direction of the staircase. This way, you can integrate the wardrobe under the stairs, placing the built-in closet right next to the front door. This change results in much better use of space on the upper floor, which I have roughly indicated here.

I’m really impressed by how quickly you can professionally revise a floor plan. Thank you very much. It looks completely different and much better. How exactly would you plan the kitchen? We would definitely like a kitchen island, but the sink and appliances should be fixed against the wall. We had imagined the island basically as a half-room divider, but only as a workspace with drawers underneath.

however, only as a work surface with drawers underneath.A second sink and a waste disposal solution in the island are great if you do a lot of cooking and use the surface for preparing and plating food.Similar topics
