Hello everyone,
My brain has been overloaded for days with the following question: "Is the utility room too small?" It is 6.8m² (73 sq ft).
My plan is to place the controlled residential ventilation and brine pump along the left wall, and the dryer and washing machine along the right wall.
The electrical panel is planned to be moved to the garage.
Do you have any useful suggestions for shifting walls?
The guest room / senior bedroom must be 3.2 x 3.5m (10.5 x 11.5 feet).

The garage is on the east side. Or are you referring to the barn and the neighbor’s outbuildings? Wow... no... that was typed on my phone before my first coffee, or rather I looked and then typed. For me, the bottom was north and right on the plan was west 😀
Sorry for the confusion about the garage.
It also shouldn’t have…

The kitchen belongs on the terrace! …been phrased that way, but the kitchen should be located by the terrace 🙂
Now looking at the garage again, I already said something about the poor living area layout. At first, I was a bit confused because the garage should be considered secondary. But if you have such a large plot: why not?!
Personally, I would find a nice wooden shed with a workspace/seating area as a garden feature more charming than a large garage, but that’s just a matter of personal taste.

The overall layout on the plot doesn't make sense either. Why not build the garage on the property line? The western neighbor was allowed to build generously right up to the boundary. The house could then be moved 3 m (10 feet) further east.
Why are the house and garage built 1 m (3 feet) above ground level?
Why such a huge terrace facing north?Infill development, neighboring houses built before the war, etc. No on building on the boundary because the neighbor would not agree, or rather the heir (daughter), so you don’t have to ask.
The 1 m (3 feet) elevation above ground is because the plot is in a depression and they want to be above the footpath level (so you don’t look down at the house, but up).
This is not a matter of taste—whether wooden cottages are more charming than a gigantic garage. Taste happens in the mind, but a person enjoying the terrace is overwhelmed by the garage in a way that awareness cannot help with. And plaster or brickwork get dirty just as easily as wood. I share the opinion with @K1300S that distracting oneself from fundamental planning mistakes by focusing on the side issue of a small utility room’s incidental effects does not provide a lasting solution.

No boundary permission is needed because the neighbor or the heir (daughter) would not agree, so you don’t have to ask. If building on the boundary is allowed, you only need to inform the neighbor, not ask for approval.

“
- First, talk to the neighbor; if they have no objections, a building easement is applied for together with the building permit / planning permission.
- If the neighbor verbally objects, consider an alternative option, as the building easement will not be applied for.
