I am interested in receiving opinions and suggestions on our house design.
It is a main house with two full stories and a pitched roof.
A basement is not feasible due to groundwater and is also not desired, as we prefer natural daylight. :-)
Next to the house, there are two extensions: one for storage and another as a basement substitute for hobby rooms, laundry, etc.
Part of the extension is intended to serve as a roof terrace, while the rest will be greened.
The construction will be solid, and I am considering Poroton.
The points I am currently questioning are:
- Do all the dimensions fit properly without any issues?
- Are there enough windows, or are there too many?
- I have not yet aligned the building structure with a brick modular size—I am thinking of 12.5 cm (5 inches). Does that make sense?
The property is a corner lot, with streets running along the north and east sides of the house.
On the sketches, north is at the top.
From the north:

Ground floor:
Upper floor (unfortunately the basement walls are visible in the floor plan):
I would appreciate your feedback and ideas.

Hello venraij,
It would be great if you could answer the list of questions. You can find it here:

At the moment, we don’t know how the plot is oriented or what requirements the design needs to meet, including how many people will live in the house.
For example, is the plot so small that a roof terrace is necessary? Those are rarely used if you have to water the garden every day 😉
From the look of it, this will be a very costly house...
You need to upload your files (almost next to the "Create Reply" button).

Sorry, I inserted the sketches incorrectly, which is a bit embarrassing given my job ;-)
The plot is not huge but also not very small at 800 square meters (approximately 8600 square feet). I would like to have an extension with a flat roof, preferably greened, as it looks better this way. It would probably be used only occasionally, that’s correct.
I will go through the list shortly …
