Hello everyone, we are in the final stages of planning our house and would like to get your opinion on our floor plans. The building permit / planning application has not yet been submitted, so changes are still possible.
Urban villa / hipped roof
Plot size: 615 sqm (6620 sq ft)
Orientation: Entrance facing east, garden area southwest
Number of parking spaces: 2 plus a large garage (6 x 6 m) (20 x 20 ft)
Number of floors: 2 full stories
Roof type: hipped roof
Style: modern
Owners’ requirements:
Style, roof type, building type: urban villa, modern
Basement, floors: without
Space requirements on ground floor and upper floor: everything shown in the floor plan
Office: family use or home office? home office
Conservative or modern construction: modern
Open kitchen
Number of dining seats: up to 10
Oven / stove: yes
Garage, carport: garage
Energy: air-to-water heat pump and possibly an electricity storage system with solar panels
At the moment, we are considering moving the kitchen to the other side and creating a passage to the utility room. This would change the shape of the bathroom, making it longer and narrower, and allow us to enlarge the utility room so it could also serve as a pantry.
The layout upstairs should remain as it is. We know the bathroom is quite large, but if possible we would like to keep it that way. The window arrangement is not finalized yet. We would appreciate any suggestions.

(small brick slips or with the anthracite-colored Smokey Eyes between and beside the window bands). What is that supposed to be?

The window in the dressing room anyway takes away the room’s purpose of being cozy and allowing undressing or changing without feeling self-conscious. I don’t really agree with that. There are also curtains, after all.
Still, in my opinion, a laundry room makes a lot more sense here than a dressing room.

@Curly, thanks for that as well. We already have a relatively new kitchen that we plan to keep and expand. We paid 5000 € for it, so I’d rather not leave it behind, and it’s only 2 years old. Definitely budget another 5000 €, even though we only need a new induction cooktop and range hood. All other appliances are already there.This has been mentioned already, but I’ll emphasize it again... with the kitchen size, you won’t make it work unless all the cabinets have doors and no pull-outs.
Like Yvonne, @ypg, I would recommend placing the two children’s bedrooms on the south side, meaning to the left of the plan. The master bedroom then on the top right, and the bathroom above the utility room. The walk-in closet can remain as a walk-in or be converted into a laundry room.
What I’ve also noticed when driving through our village is that almost all the houses are somehow symmetrical. I don’t see any unusual asymmetrical houses anywhere. In the past, there were the typical village houses with 2–3 stories, then came the gable roofs, and now the urban villas, which have been common in places like Italy for a long time. I think people simply tend to play it safe.
