For example: a lot of self-designed plans and visits to prefab homes
Hello! We already have another plan shared in this forum, but we are considering changing from a straight staircase to a spiral staircase.
What do you think about my design?
Is there enough space for the pantry behind the kitchen?
How do you find the room sizes?

Here are the elevations.
Please share your thoughts on the floor plan, the elevations, and the orientation on the plot.
Thank you

I like the placement on the plot as well as the ground floor layout. The upper floor is unremarkably functional, but I’m concerned the hallway might be too narrow and dark. Perhaps the walk-in closet could be left open and glazed as generously as possible?
However, I don’t think I’ll ever get used to hip roofs and even hip porches. Combined with the very traditional windows, it feels to me decidedly old-fashioned and dull. I know hip roofs are currently trendy (for some reason), but why not try a gable roof, a green flat porch roof, and a more varied, dynamic window arrangement instead?

Do you have any suggestions for a better window layout?
For the carport, we are already considering a flat roof but are not sure if that will all fit well together.

You can definitely overdo the hipped roof: I would only apply the hipped roof to the main building structure, check if the head height works out, have the roof over the stairwell projection as a lean-to, convert the terrace roof into a mono-pitch roof, and do the same with the carport roof (in the car area then as a gable roof with a ridge between the cars).
The window arrangement seems reasonably balanced to me; I think it would just be different otherwise.

I know, hipped roofs are kind of unfashionable right now (for whatever reason). When I was young, disco fans were crazy about Asbach Cola. The hipped roof is somewhat like the bob haircut for houses. The glass blocks from fifty years ago were “worse,” and even if hipped roofs are sometimes a bit overused, I still find them more visually pleasing than the smokey eyes look that gives those pseudo-villas a somewhat sleazy, too-cool street-corner vibe *LOL*
