ᐅ Design of Ground Floor and Upper Floor Layouts, plus L-Shaped Canopy – Tips

mondbauHello house building forum friends,
I have designed a draft and would appreciate tips on the design of a city villa measuring 10.3 x 10.3 m (34 x 34 ft).
- I am not happy with the front of the house. The window arrangement on the front is mediocre in my opinion. But how can I keep the proportions in relation to the door?
- I am concerned about the chimney shaft, but I can’t find a better location.
- Are L-shaped canopies typically made from Trespa or similar materials?
- Do L-shaped canopies need to respect the building boundary line? (Here it is 3 m (10 ft) from the street)
- How can such a 5 m (16 ft) wide canopy be attached to the brick masonry?
- Does anyone have more tips for me?

What do you like most? Why? Many floor-to-ceiling windows. Open kitchen.
What do you not like? Why? Front of the house, window placement is not optimal. The chimney shaft, but it can’t be done better.
Personal budget for house including fittings: €300,000
Preferred heating technology: gas boiler
If you have to give up something, which features / expansions?
- Can you manage without: guest room
- Can’t do without: floor-to-ceiling windows
Why does the design look the way it does now?
10.3 x 10.3 m (34 x 34 ft). Somehow everything has to fit in.

Why is part b) missing the reference to the source https://www.hausbau-forum.de/threads/bitte-um-Tipps-zum-Entwurf-eg-Grundriss.33375/page-6, or can’t part a) simply continue there?

Hello Curly, yes, the staircase is a quarter-turn. The software cannot visualize it. Sweet3d
11ant, this is a different, more final version. That’s why I uploaded it again. The issues and aspects are different.
To avoid confusion with the first post, I didn’t include a reference to it.

But effectively keeping them uninformed by starting a second part of the discussion while omitting the first part is rather unfair. Keep in mind that very few forum participants have a memory like 11ant.

11ant, I don’t understand the issue. Where does it say that each person is only allowed to start one topic without referring to a similar thread? The first thread is finished, done, and over with. This is a new thread with a new design, new context, and new aspects and topics. Apparently, no one is handling this well—everyone seems ready for conflict. If the moderator wants, I will delete this, as I can do without these kinds of discussions. I don’t want to refer back to the first thread when I have a question about whether L-shaped canopies can be made from the material Trespa!? If I choose not to reopen a topic from four months ago because it doesn’t make sense, that doesn’t mean everyone here is stupid... That doesn’t reflect my opinion, but apparently the mindset of others.
