Hello everyone,
We are planning to build a house with a separate apartment for parents.
The main house will have two full stories and a hip roof, and to reduce costs a bit, the separate apartment and the garage will have flat roofs.
The house will be built in a new development, and I have already designed the floor plan.
The plot measures 924 m² (11,470 sq ft) and is numbered 30 on the site plan.
Site coverage ratio: 0.4
Floor area ratio: 0.6
Building height: 4.5 - 6.5 meters (15 - 21 feet)
The driveway can only be on the west side because there will be a bus stop on the south side.
What concerns me:
On the upper floor, the east wall runs right above the living and dining area and is actually only supported by the wall between the stairwell and the storage room of the separate apartment. Could this cause any structural issues?
I have drawn the exterior walls as 45 cm (18 inches) thick and the interior walls as 15 cm (6 inches). Load-bearing walls could probably be reduced to 20-22 cm (8-9 inches).
The “wet rooms” like bathrooms and toilets are spread throughout the house, and the separate apartment will have its own heating system. The sewer drainage gullies are located at the south edge of the plot near the bus stop.

At car dealerships, there is often an early retiree who washes the cars. However, they don’t change the brakes. Apparently, this has something to do with competence or something like that.No man understands these hidden hints anyway [emoji23]
My sincere advice for this whole mess:
Throw away all your previous plans, take 6-9 months to clear your mind, and then consult a professional architect. Share your wishes and needs with them, and you will see a practical, functional, and well-founded design emerge.
Anything else you do on your own here will make you deeply unhappy in the long run and waste a lot of money......

I revised the ground floor again. The garage is now somewhat larger, and the narrow corridor has disappeared. Would the space for the gas heating system be sufficient?

A silly question: what exactly is happening in 4 weeks?
This is still not a suitable plan. Everything has been drawn quite tightly and roughly. If this is supposed to become a professional working plan, supply lines, shafts, etc. need to be included, which could sometimes make it tight.
Is the space in front of the heating system now a cloakroom? Almost 13 m² (140 sq ft)?
