A 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!

Large, open living area, staircase in the living area, access to the garage from the house
What do you dislike? Why?
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

As a man, I would also be curious to hear people's opinions about it.What do you mean "as a man"? Is there a difference in curiosity? Nowadays, don’t we generally refer to people in construction as builders or construction professionals 😳?

I always find it a bit strange when people post a question and then stop coming online or lose interest. As long as the absence is reasonable – for example, if the asker returns within 72 hours from lunch break, a doctor’s appointment, a supermarket visit, or somewhere else – I actually prefer that over those complainers who ask the same evening: “Does NO ONE STILL have an opinion?” :-)

Basically yes, but maybe you should upload your gigapixel images here in a readable format first, for example separately instead of floor plans and elevations combined in one image, and with a maximum width of 2000 pixels. Hello, thanks for the advice! I will adjust the elevations accordingly.

@11ant even I can clearly see that 😀
Basically, I like the idea. However, I would remove the door between the garage and the office, question the pantry (as it is, there isn’t even room for a freezer), widen the doors to the standard width of 95cm (37 inches), and increase the budget for features like corner windows, bay windows, basement, and photovoltaics by at least €100,000.
The impression of the space when entering through the hallway towards the living room feels quite dull.
Also, you have a two-story layout upstairs, but the roof pitch hasn’t been considered: the toilet, shower, and stairs probably won’t work with a knee wall height of 100/130cm (39/51 inches). Hello, thank you for your comments!
We see the door between the garage and office as an advantage since it allows you to enter the house without getting wet. Why would you remove this door? There is no freezer or similar appliance planned for the pantry; we intend to store everyday items like kitchen utensils as well as food and beverages. We will reconsider the door widths.
Regarding the number of floors: I will revise the plans again and include the 2-meter (6 ft 7 in) height lines—sorry, that was unfortunately overlooked in the current views. How would you suggest improving the “dull” entrance area in your opinion?

Good morning 🙂
Here again my comment about the sound, which nicely connects the open-plan living area with the kids’ room.
I find the narrow floor-to-ceiling windows in the guest bathroom and pantry a bit strange. Can they even be opened? Hello, thanks for your message and comment! Regarding the sound, it might be an option to swap the kids’ room and guest room.
We really like the narrow floor-to-ceiling windows in the guest bathroom and pantry from a visual perspective :-) They can also be opened.
