ᐅ Layout Planning for a Semi-Detached House, Ground Floor Assessment

Hello everyone,
Before our appointment with the general contractor, we already created a floor plan for our semi-detached house. The basic floor plan is based on a model home. We have only made minimal adjustments to the plan.
We want to plan the "detailed" floor plan, like window widths, with the general contractor. In this post, we want to gather your comments, ideas, and criticism.
So far, we have only sketched the ground floor. We will sketch the basement, upper, and attic floors once the ground floor is finalized.
The floors are divided as follows:
Basement = utility cellar
Upper floor = 2 large children's bedrooms + family bathroom
Attic floor = bedroom + dressing room + office + WC/bathroom
Development plan/restrictions
Plot size: 420 sqm (4520 sq ft)
Slope: no
Site occupancy index: 0.4
Floor area ratio: not specified
Number of parking spaces: garage + 1 parking space
Number of floors: 2.5
Roof type: gable roof
Style: semi-detached house
Orientation: southwest
Maximum heights/limits: eave height = 6.5 m (21 ft 4 in), ridge height = 10 m (32 ft 10 in)
Homeowners’ requirements
Style, roof type, building type
Utility cellar, 2.5 floors
Number of occupants: 2 adults + 2 children (6 and 8 years old)
Office: home office?
Overnight guests per year: negligible
Open layout
Modern construction
Open kitchen, no kitchen island, but L-shaped
Number of dining seats: 6
Fireplace: yes
Carport
House design
Who designed the plan:
- Self-planned, basic floor plan from a model home
What do you particularly like? Why?: large living room with corner doors/windows, "open" design
Preferred heating technology: air heat pump
Why is the design the way it is?
As a basis, a model home design was used. This was originally for a detached house and was adapted by us to a semi-detached house floor plan.
What is important to us is a large, open living room, a cloakroom near the entrance door, and a pantry on the ground floor.
What is the most important/basic question about the floor plan summarized in 130 characters?
- Kitchen: is there enough space for a kitchen with an island? Is there enough storage and work surface?
- Is the living and dining area not too "tight"?
- The first cloakroom is intended for storing shoes directly next to the entrance door. Alternatively, we may consider using this space as an extension of the pantry. In the cloakroom on the west side, there should be space for a wardrobe/dresser and coats.
We look forward to your ideas and comments 🙂

I need to post here since I don’t have the right to send private messages yet.
We are planning to build a similar house, so thanks for the example.
It’s similar to Medley 128 sqm (1375 sq ft) or Massiv-Hausidee DH 110 M. Do you have more pictures showing the windows and room dimensions?
Thanks Sorry, I just saw your post now. This is a standard floor plan that I found early on while searching online and only made some minor adjustments to. So, the exact house doesn’t exist. But you can find plenty of examples with almost every home builder of practical floor plans without any special extras.

So there is no exact house like that. In this particular case, that wouldn’t help anyway (as a reminder: @prm2021 is the unfortunate person who can only be helped by prayer – his plot is tied to a general contractor whose lackeys no one would wish on even the devil’s grandmother, because in a direct comparison, even Daffy Duck would appear highly competent).

I like this idea for bedroom wardrobes 🙂 We need to start the project, and for now, it will be a combination of Medley and a few semi-detached houses between 125-130 m² (1,345-1,400 sq ft). I am still looking for more ideas for the entrance, wardrobe, hallway, and guest bathroom. There aren’t many examples for smaller houses like these. I hope for plenty of natural light in the (small) hallway.
