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.

What I’ve also noticed when driving through our village is that almost all the houses are somehow symmetrical. I never see unusual asymmetrical houses. In the past, there were the typical village houses with 2-3 floors, then came the gable roofs, and now the town villas, which, for example, have always been modern in Italy. I think people tend to play it safe.
The town villa style has been around here in Germany for a long time. There are several on our street that are 70 years old. The only difference is that the hip roofs here are a bit steeper.

When is a house truly symmetrical? Does each side have to look exactly the same?

What is that?

Well, did I explain that poorly? – Smokey Eyes refer to this delicately shaded dark gray "eyeshadow" effect around the windows, usually when the upper ones are not perfectly aligned above the lower ones.

I think I have never seen anything like that. What do you search for on Google?

If you have never seen that before, you must be living on a blissful island. You would google something like city villa:

Oh, I see. Sorry, I’m familiar with that too, of course. I don’t want to clutter the thread, but what’s so bad about it? I’d definitely go with pink. 😉

2D floor plan with bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and stairs in the floor plan


The architect has now changed the room layout. The bathroom was also enlarged (for whatever reason), and the rooms next to the master bedroom were removed. I told him that I don’t want the door from the hallway to the walk-in closet but would prefer to have a door directly into the bedroom again. What do you think?
