Hello everyone,

My wife and I want to build a single-family house in a new residential development. We have received the first draft from our designer and would like to gather suggestions and improvement ideas.

Our basic requirements:
- An extra room on the ground floor as an office / guest room
- Shower bathroom on the ground floor
- 3 children’s bedrooms on the upper floor
- Double garage

What we don’t like about the current design:
- Secondary entrance is outside the garage
- Living area is too small
- Entrance area is a bit tight, with a small coat closet
- Layout on the upper floor
-> Master bedroom is very large (we actually don’t need a walk-in closet)
-> 1 children’s room is large, the other 2 are quite small (ideally all around 15sqm (160 sq ft))

Maybe some of you have optimization suggestions. We have thought about converting the attic and creating a kind of studio for ourselves or preparing it for future expansion. We currently have 2 children (2 1/2 years and one on the way). Although 3 children are planned, you never know... So currently, we only need 3 rooms on the upper floor, which could all be made larger, and we might even have space for a storage room or a children’s bathroom. Of course, this would involve significantly higher costs. What do you think?

Thanks for your help and best regards

I forgot to mention:
Be sure to plan with a gable roof. With a permitted building height of 11 meters (36 feet), an attic conversion is possible, for example, for the parents. This eases the upper floor. Also, have the staircase follow the roof slope rather than crossing it.

Do the guests really have to sleep on the ground floor? If the parents move to the attic, could the guest stay on the upper floor?

In theory, the guest can also be accommodated on the upper floor.

Yes, I noticed that right away

The open-plan space can be quickly relaxed just by removing the recess that blocks the intensely hot morning sun.

Both issues are due to the stair location!

While the stair placement isn’t ideal, it ultimately reflects a standard single-family house layout. I suspect the main problem with the unsuccessful attempt to import a design template is that, as mentioned, standard floor plans probably didn’t include a third child's bedroom.

It’s not the staircase, but the mono-pitched roof that’s fundamentally out of place here.
