Be sure to draw the desired furniture to scale.
Why are you positioning the house so far back? Every centimeter (0.4 inch) away from the street costs money.

The plan is for a bungalow with an integrated double garage...I would rather call it a double garage with an attached chauffeur’s apartment – nice that your cars get to live on the same property as you – but hasn’t someone completely reversed the master-pet relationship here?Bodo1986 schrieb:
Do you see any major design flaws in the floor plan?Not just in the floor plan – although there, too: relative to the garage, all the following rooms feel like small boxes; the peak of this is the study. But in my opinion, the design mistakes start with the overall layout – you basically need a car just to get from the driveway to the garage. Forget the pointless connecting door, move the garage closer to the driveway, and let the house enjoy the property. With this site layout, it’s practically backed up against the wall.Even people who define themselves socially by their vehicles could live much more comfortably with a bit of good will (and on a lot this size, quite easily!).

The problem already starts with the driveway to the garage:
If the driveway is also set back 5 m (16 feet) from the property boundary, I would like to understand how the garage is supposed to be accessed by a vehicle.
Also, the access from the garage to the house takes up exactly the wardrobe space.
The living room... the bottom right corner is wasted space, which makes the area around the table less practical.

What is allowed as boundary construction? A garage? This really seems like it should be positioned to the south after about 10 m (33 feet) of driveway.

Hello,
Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to do this earlier. I have taken some suggestions into account and made a few changes, including relocating the house parking space. The utility room is now a bit larger, and there is space for a coat rack in the slightly bigger hallway.
The home office can remain small. It’s not really intended as a full office. There should only be room for a desk and a filing cabinet, as we expect to “work” there for a maximum of one hour per week.
In your opinion, are there still any major errors or issues to be identified?
Best regards

A few minor points related only to the floor plan;
- Are three windows really necessary in the garage?
- In the utility room, I would move the doors further to the right and place upper and lower cabinets on the left side. Otherwise, it seems like wasted space to me.
- The hallway is too narrow and long at 1.3 x 6.3 meters (4.3 x 20.7 feet) and too dark without any windows.
- If possible, move the door to the shower in the restroom to allow space for one or two cabinets.
- Bedroom 2 is unfortunately very small (it also loses floor area due to the tiny passage).
- The bathroom and master bedroom have the same door positioning as the utility room and restroom, which should be reconsidered.
- The office is much too small and will 100% end up as a storage room (as already mentioned).
- What kind of window is behind the bed in the bedroom?
- What are the distances between the kitchen island and the kitchen units?
- What is the distance between the kitchen units and the dining table? Remember, when the chair is pulled back, there will be even less space. Does that even work?
PS: What is the meaning of the 0.3 m² (3.2 ft²) space between the kitchen and living room?

I have a slightly different view than 11ant regarding the garage. A garage directly attached to the house is extremely practical, especially in rain, snow, cold weather, etc. It also makes it easier to carry heavy items from the car into the house. This is not about the size or type of the vehicle.
I find the garage a bit narrow inside, especially if you really want to use additional storage space next to it (as shown in the drawing). I agree with him about the other rooms.
I would prefer to start over from the beginning.

The living area needs to stay facing west. Hm... Regarding moving the doors: Yep, that makes sense.As for the office, we have a different opinion... As I said, very little time will be spent there; it mainly serves as a file storage space and maybe about an hour per week for some invoicing, etc.

- What kind of window is that behind the bed in the bedroom?Yes, just a normal one. Could probably be removed, right?The space issue in the kitchen I will likely solve by moving the room divider further up. That should help a bit. Currently, the living room is 4.5m (15 ft) wide. A little less would probably be fine, too.
