Hello dear forum members.
I have been quietly following for some time and would now like to take the opportunity to gather some tips and advice. We are currently planning our house and would like to share our initial drafts with you.
We are completely flexible in the planning and want a functional home for 4 people. Important features for us are a kitchen island, fireplace, and walk-in shower on the ground floor.
We would appreciate any tips and suggestions, as we have never planned or built a house before.
Thank you very much in advance.

Well, then that is a really suitable spot 😉. But wouldn’t it also make sense to have your utility room there?We have thought about that too, but then there would be no way to enter the house through the garage. Maybe we are just stuck in traditional patterns, thinking it's essential to have direct access from the garage to the utility room… It’s also inconvenient for the piping routes of the air-water heat pump.

I consider it less important to access the utility room through the garage. Especially since such a side entrance would take up space in the room due to the resulting circulation area. That would of course open up new possibilities. Would it then make sense to design the hallway or entrance area so that you can still enter the house through the garage? Or should we reconsider the entire floor plan and start with the utility room, placing it where the staircase is currently unused...?
Sorry, I’m probably missing something. Could you please provide the building development plan in text form so it can be found online? Please do not share a link.
I don’t understand the parking spaces. The parking symbol is outside your property, isn’t it?
What are the dimensions of the plot (fence lengths)?

Sorry, probably I’m missing something obvious, could you please provide the zoning plan in text form so it can be looked up online? Please don’t post a link. I don’t understand the parking areas. The parking symbol is shown outside your property boundary. What are the dimensions of the plot (fence lengths)? Sure, happy to provide.
