ᐅ Single-Family Home Floor Plan / Ideas / Suggestions / Recommendations?

Hello dear community,

First of all, a big thank you from me as well! You provide helpful information in so many areas that is simply invaluable.

We are in the final planning stages, and your opinion would be very important to us!

Apologies if I haven't included all necessary or important details. Please feel free to ask if anything is missing. Otherwise, we look forward to your feedback.

Details and our wishes:
- No basement
- Street side faces east
- Our garden is on the west side
- We want the children’s rooms to face the garden
- Washing machine and dryer on the upper floor
- Double garage 6 x 6 m (20 x 20 ft) attached directly to the house
- Side entrance to the house
- Optional kitchen in L-shape (but then the kitchen would face the street, and the office would face the garden)
- And stair landing! However, we were not able to create a good room layout combined with the side entrance
- Ground floor height 3 m (10 ft)
- Upper floor height 2.8 m (9 ft)
- A 3 m (10 ft) glass sliding element with the red line will be installed facing the kitchen

I hope I didn’t forget anything important. Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Good luck

Use accurate furniture dimensions, for example, a double bed, and allow for clearance space, such as a minimum distance of 80 cm (31 inches) between the edge of a table and a wall or the next piece of furniture.

The staircase is located differently on each floor. Or am I seeing an optical illusion?

The staircase is positioned differently on both floors. Or is it just my eyes playing tricks on me?

Yes, they are. 😀
(and now some filler words...)

Okay, those have become unnecessary now...
And yet another straight staircase! 🙄
The entrance area is poorly designed. The door almost hits the staircase. Then again, a long (narrow) hallway.
Once again, no natural light in the upper floor hallway. Access to living/dining/kitchen areas. Long distances to the kitchen.

A walk-in closet located behind the bedroom is inconvenient.

Addition:

This can be solved by adding windows in the upper floor hallway and relocating the utility room door. It will make the upstairs brighter, but won’t improve lighting downstairs.

A door right at the kitchen entrance could be an option.

Here again, the staircase is the "culprit," as it is a central element.

In general, I’m not a fan of a large rectangular open plan combining living/dining/kitchen areas.

- And a half-landing staircase! However, we couldn’t manage to create a good room layout with the entrance positioned on the side.

That might be worth considering further.
