Hello dear community,
We are planning to build a single-family house next year and believe we are ready to have a permit plan created.

The plot is 21m (69 feet) wide and 31m (102 feet) long.
The groundwater level is very high, so no basement.
The zoning regulations require both the house and the garage to have a gable roof.
The garden is located to the north behind the house; we deliberately placed the terrace on the north(west) side because we both prefer not to be exposed to the sun for long periods.
25 cm (10 inches) bricks + 20 cm (8 inches) insulation.
The house will be heated with geothermal energy (KNV Topline 1145) using a trench collector system.
The garage will be built without a door, essentially as a carport, allowing side access to the main entrance.
The roof above the mechanical room (in the attic) will simply be extended.
The guest toilet/bathroom on the ground floor will partially fit under the staircase.

Zoning restrictions/requirements: gable roof, eave height 5m (16 feet)
Plot size: 650 m² (7,000 sq ft)
Slope: no
Floor area ratio: 0.3
Building envelope, building line and boundary: 3m (10 feet), garage recessed 5m (16 feet)
Edge development: my "garage" adjacent to existing neighbor’s garage
Number of stories: 2
Roof style: gable roof
Architectural style: rather modern
Orientation: south-facing if possible
Maximum heights/limits: 5m (16 feet) eave height/roof edge

Homeowner requirements
No basement (due to high groundwater)
2 people (planning for 4)
Office: only intended as a storage room/guest room, for future needs

House design
Who designed it:
I designed it myself
We planned the kitchen in the “niche” so it is not the center of the room when entering and because it faces the street, letting us follow what is happening outside a bit.
The living room is on the darker north side since light from the south or west can be distracting when watching TV on the couch (as it is currently).

Thanks in advance,
Christian

I just quickly put this together to roughly steer in the right direction. At least with limited time, I couldn’t find a way to set the target dimension and then have the ceiling opening calculated accordingly (that’s how I would find the tool useful).

Then I’ll pause the trial and error and rather leave it to the professional (master builder) before I get too stuck on it.

That’s a shame. I thought you’d try a bit more. Just throw that design away and start over! Begin by moving the living room closer to the terrace, because blocking the best side with the stairs, etc., is simply a mistake.

I was only referring to the shower/staircase planning.

Oh, even better then.

For that, you don’t need a builder (to better design the staircase over the shower), but a psychologist (to help you overcome the compulsion to want to shower under the stairs).
