We are currently in the design phase with an architect. The house will be built using solid construction. Gable roof with a 30-degree pitch. North is at the top of the plan.
We will live here together with our two children, who are still of kindergarten age.
Please share your suggestions so we can consider making any changes.
We might swap the master bedroom with the children’s bedrooms on the north side. The children’s bedrooms would then face south and be the same size.
Thank you in advance

The children's bedrooms then facing south and the same size. Equal-sized rooms for equally loved children: that’s a parental mindset thing that children don’t really care about. They’re more likely to complain if their sibling is closer to the Wi-Fi access point.

Please complete the questionnaire. Is the plot of land on a slope? No, it is not. However, there are slight elevation differences.Hmm.. basically, it’s always challenging when building with a basement and not being able to store a mop and vacuum cleaner in the living areas.
- But it does promote a lot of movement, having to go down to the basement for everything and carry drink crates back up.
- Regarding the swap of the children’s room and bedroom: this should definitely be done to ensure that the children’s rooms get the nicer, brighter spaces. Personally, I find rooms over 18m² (193ft²) too large for children’s rooms – they usually end up feeling uncomfortable because the necessary furniture doesn’t create a cozy atmosphere. Children’s rooms don’t have to be the same size though. You can furnish a large and a smaller room with the same furniture and arrange it in a way that makes the smaller room appear larger than the big one.
- What definitely stands out is the open space above the hallway: this will carry sound and echo upwards, as well as cold air when the front door is opened.
- In the kitchen, I find there are too few tall cabinets. On the other hand, I consider the pantry unnecessary and it prevents having a nice island, leaving only a small stump.
- A shaded or secondary terrace is always nice, but I would prefer to access it directly from the kitchen (by swapping the office and kitchen). The swap would also have the advantage of not having only a north-facing window in the kitchen, but benefiting from morning sun from the east.
- For a house of this size, I would avoid placing the first step of the stairs right in the dirt zone near the front door.
- The way the sofa is positioned in the room is of course a matter of personal taste. However, I would plan for the option to connect the TV on all three sides, because this arrangement would likely be the last one I would consider good.
- I don’t understand the position of the window in the walk-in closet: it sacrifices storage space, as you can see. It doesn’t seem to be important for the facade’s appearance, right?
- In the basement hobby room, the door positions don’t make sense. I would place them so that the rooms can potentially be separated. I also see this room more on the east side with a light well, like the guest room.
- The existing window in the hobby room is a design flaw considering its location, as the light well doesn’t help the terrace at all.
To say now, “Otherwise nice.” would probably be too little feedback from my side?!
But with these changes, it can turn out quite nice. At least there is enough space to avoid bottlenecks.

Unfortunately, we don’t have the full information about the entire plot.
What bothers me a lot is the position of the garage on the west side. That wall blocks all the light in the kitchen. That would feel too gloomy and depressing for me. Could the garage maybe be placed better where the "shaded terrace" is currently located, lonely and unreachable?
Otherwise, Yvonne has already mentioned many points. Something else that caught my eye is the chimney in the dressing room. I would move it to the hallway and disguise it there with built-in shelves.
Could you please also share the budget?
