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

One more question: Would you keep the door to the utility room as it is, or would you place the door to the utility room from the kitchen? The advantage of the current layout is that when entering the house through the garage, you can immediately leave shoes and jackets at the planned wardrobe opposite the stairs. On the other hand, having a direct door to the utility room from the kitchen would naturally shorten walking distances for accessing supplies and so on.
If you want a purely work island, I would plan it as shown in the attachment. The door to the dining room is only 1 meter (3 feet) away, and when you come in from the garage, you will probably need to go to the cloakroom before the kitchen more often.
Oh, and also hinted here: install a large floor-to-ceiling window front in the kitchen, not just a small window. If you can accept that the house won’t be completely symmetrical because of that.

Good evening everyone,
attached is our new floor plan. There are some minor changes. Overall, we are quite satisfied. We will probably keep the kitchen as planned, but design it as an “aircraft carrier” style. Below the kitchen, a side-by-side refrigerator will be placed against the wall. We like the new bathroom on the upper floor as it will have no sloping ceilings. We are still deciding where to place our bedroom—either as planned or in the gable of Child 2’s room. This way, all the children would have the largest rooms. What do you think? Another highlight is the view of the entrance area. The ugly bathroom window is finally gone. The west elevation is not very appealing, but it is difficult to arrange the windows there. What is your opinion?

The design flaws remain, and the floor plans are obscured by poor "readability" :-(
