Andi1980A friendly hello to everyone 🙂
After a long wait, we have finally been able to purchase a building plot in a new development area and now want to fulfill the dream of owning our own home. We have been working on the optimal floor plan for us for several months now. So far, we are quite satisfied with the result.
What can you say about the floor plan in general? What do you like, or where do you see room for improvement? We have been reading and quietly following the forum for some time, but we think you might spot areas where adjustments could be made. Where do you see weaknesses? We look forward to constructive criticism and your feedback!
Thank you very much in advance!

Because of the narrow plot width, the garage is too narrow; we would have preferred to build a double garage.
Personal price limit for the house including fittings: 480 K
Preferred heating technology: geothermal heat, underfloor heating, photovoltaic system on the roof
If you have to give up something, which details / additions
-can you do without:
Sauna
-can you not do without:
large kitchen, open room layout, office on the ground floor, guest room, large walk-in closet, access to the garage from the house
Why is the design the way it is now? For example
The design developed the way it did based on our wishes and ideas – we tried to implement them as well as possible for the narrow plot. We also visited various show homes and of course sifted through countless floor plans on the internet.
Thank you very much for reading and best regards

@11ant even I can clearly see that 😀
Overall, I like the idea. However, I would remove the door between the garage and office, reconsider the pantry (as it is now, not even a freezer fits in), widen the doors to the standard width of 95cm (37 inches), and increase the budget for the finishes (corner windows, bay window, basement, photovoltaics) by at least €100,000+.
The spatial effect through the hallway toward the living room from the entrance feels very gloomy.
However, you have a two-story structure upstairs, but the roof pitch has not been taken into account: the toilet, shower, and stairs probably won’t work with knee walls of only 100/130cm (39/51 inches).

I find it pleasantly calm and simple. However, I agree with @ypg on the following points:
In particular, the issue of the two-story layout needs to be clarified before we continue the discussion. Where does the 2m (6.6 ft) line run in the attic?

But you actually have a two-story building up top, since the roof pitch wasn’t taken into account: the toilet, shower, and stairs probably won’t work with a knee wall height of 100/130cm (39/51 inches).

Especially the point about the two-story building needs to be clarified before we continue the discussion. Where exactly is the 2m (6 ft 7 in) line drawn in the attic? Therefore, there is no need to go into detail. Also, the budget does not include the basement.
I always find it strange when people post their questions and then don’t come back online or show interest. Even as a man, I would be curious to know what others think about it.
