Hello everyone,
We have found a house near Frankfurt/Main where construction is about to begin. It is from a developer. Currently, there is an old house on the property which is being completely renovated. This will be converted into 3 condominiums. Our house will be a single-family home at the back with about 216 sqm (2,325 sq ft).
Two garages need to be integrated into the house, plus one parking space that we can purchase additionally.
Regarding the floor plan, apart from the external walls (a line with property boundary construction and 3.5 m (11.5 ft) to the neighbor) and the double garage, we have complete freedom. We have already modified the floor plan as we want to prepare the upper floor for potential rental at some point (an external staircase will probably not be approved). Hence the second internal staircase.
Basically, we are wondering how to best use the ground floor. Somehow I find it a bit small for cooking/living/dining. (Although I cannot verify the square meter figures, because based on the external dimensions and some calculations it should be about 49 sqm (527 sq ft) instead of approximately 44 sqm (474 sq ft), but I don’t know if the staircase is excluded).
Where is the best place to put a couch?
We also have questions about possible optimizations or mistakes we might have made. Does this all make sense? The architect implemented all of our requests without questioning whether they are practical or sensible. That makes us uncertain.
No basement, one garage for bicycles, and otherwise one room will be sacrificed.
We would like a kitchen island 🙂
The turnkey price is 769,000.
Thanks for your feedback!

But no separate apartment is needed, correct?
Is the blue dashed line in the attic the 1.80m (5 ft 11 in) line? The house is designed as a single-family home without a separate apartment. There are 4 units in total including the 3 condominiums, so 6 parking spaces must be allocated. Three of those would be ours. The necessity of this does not need to be discussed.
In short: even without a separate apartment, the 3 parking spaces must remain.
Yes, mine is the 1.80m (5 ft 11 in) line.

I figured as much. A parking space is probably worth its weight in gold here. I wouldn’t complain about that for now. Chances are the other residents will be willing to sell you their daughters for one. 😉Just an idea:
Structurally, it might not be fully optimized yet but I think it’s feasible.

Do you have to buy a third parking space even though you don’t need it?
Where will all your building services be installed? Water connection, electricity, fuse box, telephone, etc.? Heat pump/heating, hot water? We don’t have to buy it, but since it is so close to the house, we would do it. That way, no one else’s car will be parked there.
In the room behind the garage where the storage room is located.
