We are planning to build a solid structure house with a general contractor. After several planning rounds, we now have a preliminary floor plan.
The goal was an open layout on the ground floor and a cellar that can be used as living space as effectively as possible.
The house faces southwest with the terrace. The bathroom has not yet been designed.
To the north, the property borders the neighboring house.

Development plan/restrictions
Plot size: 580 sqm (about 6,243 sq ft)
Slope: no
Roof type: flat roof
Architectural style: Bauhaus
Orientation: southwest
Maximum height/limits: 2 floors

Client requirements
Style, roof type, building type
- Full basement
- Number of occupants, age: 2 adults, 2 toddlers
- Office: home office
- 1 guest bedroom for extended stays several weeks per year
- open architecture
- modern construction
- open kitchen preferably with an island
- 8 dining seats
- Fireplace
- Garage + carport (located at the edge of the property – entrance to the house only from the sidewalk)

House design
Designer: planner from a construction company

Preferred heating technology:
Air-source heat pump

Why does the design look the way it does now?
For example, which client wishes were implemented by the planner?
What do you think makes it especially good or bad?
Generous open floor plan on the ground floor, flexible room layout

What is the key/basic question about the floor plan in up to 130 characters?

- Kitchen: is there enough space for a kitchen with an island? Is there sufficient storage and workspace?
- Master bedroom: does the master bedroom feel open enough or rather cramped?
- Terrace: what is the best way to plan the roof/covering?

We are happy to receive your ideas and suggestions! 🙂

There are no detailed plans yet, as we are still in the design phase.

Why not show the preliminary drafts? Maybe there was something better there. I’m quite sure you misunderstood the drainage: mixing black water with rainwater sounds very strange.

I can’t think of anything without completely changing the basic design.

Yes, the timing isn’t great, and unfortunately it reflects poorly on the architect (although I don’t know how much you pushed him in the wrong direction), but it sounds like a sensible plan.

No need to rush 😉 The original poster obviously hasn’t been back yet

It’s quite bold to get back in touch as the original poster after only one month! 😕

I had only seen one notification saying that the site plan was missing, which I was only able to provide now due to being away. Only now did I notice that there were additional posts, but I didn't receive any further notifications about them.

You will only be notified once per thread. Only after you have read all new posts will you receive another notification.

You don’t need detailed plans right now, but he should clearly explain to you how the routing of the pipes or cables will be managed.
