Hello dear forum members!
I am looking for opinions and suggestions for improvement.
Development plan/restrictions okay
Plot size 573 sqm (6,167 sq ft)
Slope no
Floor area ratio (FAR) 0.2
Gross floor area ratio (GFAR) 0.5
Building zone, building line, and boundary 3 m (10 ft) street side
Edge development
Number of parking spaces 2
Number of stories 2
Roof type hipped roof
Architectural style city villa
Orientation west
Maximum height/limits 8.29 m (27 ft)
Builders’ requirements
Style, roof type, building type city villa
Basement, number of floors no basement, 2 floors
Number of occupants, ages 4 (36, 34, 6, 1)
Space requirements on ground floor and upper floor ???
Office: Family use or home office? family (guest/storage)
Number of guest stays per year 20
Open or closed architecture open
Conservative or modern design modern
Open kitchen, kitchen island open
Number of dining seats 4–6
Fireplace yes
Balcony, roof terrace no
Garage, carport double carport
Vegetable garden, greenhouse ?
House design
Who created the plan:
- Planner from a construction company
What do you particularly like? Why? Kitchen is open but still separated from the living room, reasonable size of children’s rooms, straight staircase
What do you dislike? Why? Open hallway (noise transfers upstairs, and you can see from the entrance door straight into the living room)
Preferred heating system: geothermal, air heat pump
If you have to give up something, which details/features
-can you give up: large master bedroom, large kitchen, large utility room, garage, dressing room?
-can you not give up: guest room
Why did the design turn out as it is now? E.g. Almost all our ideas were implemented on a small living area.
Standard plan from the planner? yes, revised
Which wishes were fulfilled by the architect? Straight staircase, guest room, kitchen in a niche, guest WC with shower, large children’s rooms.
The orientation on the floor plan is incorrect; I marked the correct one on the site plan. The entrance will be planned from the street side. The dining area will be enlarged by shifting the kitchen about 40 cm (16 in) toward the utility room and shortening the stair wall. I am still not satisfied with window sizes and positions. The upper floor bathroom also needs improvement; we have an appointment planned at the bathroom studio.
Thank you very much for your suggestions.

Thank you very much for your suggestions.
This is how we imagined it: the large rectangle represents the house with a terrace, the smaller one on the left is intended to be the carport, and the smaller one on the right will be a tool shed. After a lot of shifting back and forth, we found this positioning to be the most optimal, but maybe you have better suggestions. I’m still grateful for your ideas.
That works well. In the evening, there is still sunlight until about October and again from March, while in between, the sun sets further south. At midday, the area is still shaded, which can be important during midsummer. Overall, a good compromise for this piece of land. Karsten

I would probably position the house along the northern property boundary and place the carport adjacent to that boundary. The house would then be attached to the carport. I see the left side of the house as the living and kitchen area, with the other rooms, such as the utility room, on the right side, which faces east.
As the carport is currently planned, it would also allow for a nice garden, but here too, I see the house oriented toward the west. Additionally, during the months when the sun sets more in the southwest, that is in the winter months, the rooms will lack the comforting natural sunlight. The consequences (lack of daylight, reliance on artificial lighting) are not particularly beneficial for health.
I am critical of your approach – sunlight and warmth are important for well-being. If there is too much sun, then sun protection like roller shutters should be used. I consider a terrace located in the southwest area to be optimal.
Best regards in brief

Yes, seen from that perspective, the terrace might be better positioned between the house and the garage.
