Hello!
We have basically finished the planning now. I’d be interested in your opinions.
I have attached the ground floor and first floor plans. The basement is pretty straightforward: fitness room, workshop, office, utility room.

A few points we have thought about for a while:

Open staircase.
We have seen this in real life and really like it. It opens up the spatial feeling a bit. The downside I see is noise transmission from the living/dining area to the children’s bedrooms/bedrooms. I think we can live with that, but we have planned it so that a drywall partition could still be added on the ground floor.

Main entrance facing north, carport on the south side.
The reason is this: originally, the carport was planned along the rear property line. However, I’m concerned about costs if the entire driveway needs to be paved. That would be nearly 200sqm (2,150 sqft). What would something like that cost? Also, fees are charged for sealed surfaces. Or does anyone have a practical idea?
We had also considered placing the main entrance on the east side, but then the hallway/utility room layout became unattractive.

Living room size
There are about 3.5 meters (11.5 feet) to the wall. We’ve arranged our living room furniture accordingly and think it’s sufficient. Otherwise, the planned wardrobe with floor-to-ceiling sliding doors in the entrance area would have to be removed.

The conservatory is not really a conservatory, but rather an enclosed terrace with glass sliding doors.

Best regards,
Daniel

I have now changed the floor plan again in my software. This also makes the living room larger. Is the bathroom too small like this?

I like it much better this way!

However, there is still the risk of doors opening into the stairway ends.

Ah, I forgot to change that.

You’re right about the pantry. But there simply isn’t enough space for more. I thought it’s better to have a small pantry than none at all. I’ve also seen ones with 1.5m² (16 sq ft). That’s better than nothing.

For the shower, I will just add a door later if needed.

Only our laundry chute is now lost. 😳

A lot has been said... The walk-in closet feels cramped and too narrow. The bathroom is visible during dinner, the living room is too narrow.
Is there a basement?

Am I correct in assuming that the access road is located on the south side and the entrance is on the north side, meaning it is somewhat "hidden"?

I have posted a revised sketch where the living room is larger and the toilet has been swapped with the utility room. Yes, there is a basement. To clarify upfront, we definitely want the utility room on the ground floor. 🙂

@Maria16: Yes, that’s correct.
