Hello,
The house floor plan is finalized.
The garage or carport will be built by ourselves in the end, depending on how much money is left—either as a prefabricated garage plus carport or as a masonry double garage attached to the house.
Most likely and preferred is the option with a prefabricated garage plus a roof extending to the house (carport), as shown in the attachments.
What is important to us is that the overall appearance looks good, as in the example photo.
Even more important is staying dry!
With our door and the small bathroom window, that’s a bit tricky.
We would also like to keep the path from the garage into the house dry.
The plan was to extend the carport and garage roof up to the area between the small bathroom window and the front door.
What do you think?
Any ideas or experiences?

It was just a suggestion to discuss the floor plan here. No one is saying you have to build bigger :-).
Regarding the actual question: we also use the roof of our carport as a cover for the front door :-)
In your case, the garage would actually need to be extended. Additionally, to stay completely dry when going from the garage to the house via the covered area, there would need to be a door on the side.

I can't really imagine that.
Side door! Of course, thanks, I hadn’t thought of that... now there are more possibilities 🙂

So viel zu bemängeln 0.0 ? To be honest, I can hardly see anything: partial views, a thumbnail representation of the ground floor, and none of the upper floor. This is not a good starting point for meaningful criticism or constructive suggestions.

Hello!
Considering you don’t want a huge house, your exterior dimensions are actually quite large. And looking at the floor plan roughly, the space usage doesn’t seem very well thought out, as Zaba12 already mentioned. You should really consider sharing it here along with the site plan if the floor plan isn’t fixed yet. It can only get better, and you don’t have to adopt any suggestions…
For example, we also don’t have a basement, but we built a masonry double garage of 60 sqm (645 sq ft) directly attached to the house. Because of that, the utility room didn’t have to be so large, and the space benefited the living area.
Depending on when your parents built their house, you shouldn’t necessarily follow that. Even if it worked back then, there might be better options for space utilization nowadays.
We have 167 sqm (1,798 sq ft) of living space, without the utility room 158 sqm (1,701 sq ft), on an 11m x 10m (36 ft x 33 ft) footprint rather than roughly 13m x 12m (43 ft x 39 ft) like yours (can’t see exactly). However, our rooms are much more spacious.
Best regards,
Michael

We copied the size and layout of the living room and kitchen from my parents’ house; it all fits well and is enough for us.

To manage financing with Bayern Labo (interest subsidy program), more living space is not feasible.
It has 155 sqm (1,668 sq ft) of living space without the utility room on 2 full floors. That’s enough for us.

I can only agree with the previous comments: I would never have managed with just "adequate" space...
But I don't want to nitpick here. The kitchen is simply terrible. I wouldn't even be able to create storage space for two people next to the sink and stove, let alone have any workspace.
A utility room is maxed out at around 10m² (108 sq ft), and the sloping ceiling lets energy escape straight out the window on the right side according to the plan.

What do you think? I would not build this as a prefabricated garage, but rather as a single, integrated structure. The architect should plan it that way.
Alternatively, you could attach a double garage to the house; then you can enter dry through a side door into the utility room. However, this uses up floor space and limits the design—keyword windows.
