ᐅ Single-Family House with a Flat Roof – What Are Your Opinions?

SunnxHello everyone,
After speaking with several home builders over the past few weeks, we are gradually getting a clearer idea of who we could see ourselves working with on this project (and especially who we definitely would not). Attached is a floor plan that we received from the designer in a similar form and already liked very much. We have now adjusted it a bit more to fit our needs.
What do you think? Where could it still be improved?
We definitely want to build with a basement (we are currently waiting for the results of the soil survey), as we need space for a large music/dance room (my husband is an amateur musician, I am a dancer) and also a guest room (our parents both live far away and often stay for longer periods). The basement would also include a utility room, technical equipment, seasonal clothing storage, etc.
By the way, there is a roof terrace planned above the carport, which is why there is a door in the bedroom.
Unfortunately, I didn’t manage to display the room dimensions (does anyone know if this can be done in RoomSketcher?). The external dimensions of the house currently are approximately 10.47 x 8.22 meters (34.3 x 27 feet).
The plot is about 26 x 27 meters (85 x 89 feet), although part of the northeast corner is taken up by a turning area. We are currently planning the entrance from the other street to avoid a long driveway on the property. This has already been approved (and implemented) by the neighbor.
There is also a slight slope towards the southwest side of roughly 1.5 meters (5 feet) over the length of 27 meters (89 feet).
The furniture shown (except for the kitchen and children’s room) already corresponds to what we own.
Oh, and “we” currently means my husband, our 21-month-old daughter, and me. Another child is in the works ;-)
Thanks in advance for your feedback!
Sunny greetings,
Sandra

toxicmolotof11 Jun 2014 13:00The exterior shape of the floor plan does not match the site plan. This concerns the stair projection.
If you position the house with the floor plan to fit the plot, the kitchen will be on the south side on the ground floor. In my opinion, the living and dining areas should be there instead, to benefit from the sunlight.
Please have elevation drawings created, as I imagine the windows would look chaotic on the façade.

In my opinion, the living and dining rooms should be there because of the sunlight.We deliberately arranged the rooms this way. The kitchen, with its large strip window facing southeast, and the dining area, which acts as the "heart of the home" for us, faces southwest. We only use the living room, meaning the sofa and TV, mainly in the evenings…

At first, it was important for us to have a floor plan that meets our requirements at all. You wouldn’t believe the kinds of designs we were shown after a several-hour “orientation meeting”…
