Hello everyone,
I would like to get your opinion on this floor plan.
What do you think works well, and what might not?
I am only uncertain about the children's rooms because of the floor-to-ceiling windows.
The terrace is drawn incorrectly and should actually be positioned at the top, opening to the kitchen.
Also, I have limited space in the living room for furniture and am considering changing the double window on the left to a regular-sized one.
Unfortunately, I don’t have a site plan.
The living room faces south.
The plot extends towards the kitchen, as it is long and narrow along a street.
Development plan/restrictions
Plot size = 650sqm (7000 sq ft)
Slope = No
Building envelope, building line and boundary = 3m (10 ft) from the boundary
Edge development = No
Number of parking spaces = 2
Number of stories = 2 full floors
Roof type = Hipped roof
Style = Urban villa
Orientation = South
Maximum height/limits = 12m (40 ft)
Homeowners’ requirements
Style, roof type, building type = Urban villa
Basement, floors = 2 full floors
Number of occupants, age = 2 adults and two toddlers
Room needs on ground and upper floor
Office: family use or home office = Home office, with a bed in the future
Guest bedrooms per year = 0
Conservative or modern construction = Modern
Open kitchen, kitchen island = Open
Number of dining seats = 4-6
Fireplace = No
Audio system/speaker wall = Maybe
Garage, carport = Carport
Utility garden, greenhouse = Utility garden
House design
Planner: Do-it-Yourself
Estimated cost according to architect/planner: 300,000
Personal price limit for house including fittings:
Preferred heating technology: Heat pump
If you have to give up something, which details or features
-can you give up: Pantry
-can you not give up: Shower on ground floor
Thank you very much

Just a few minor details, for example, the staircase runs the other way around, etc.

why don’t you answer the many questions from those trying to help? Some have been asked several times, all of them important, yet you keep posting more pictures instead of responding clearly and in detail. I find that rude, frustrating, and unproductive. If you are genuinely interested in useful advice, I recommend finally addressing the questions from those offering tips, as they are certainly valid and will speed up the whole process significantly.
