ᐅ Floor plan design for a 180 m² urban villa with basement

Since the old thread was a complete mess, I’m starting this new one here:

Development plan/restrictions: No development plan, initial inquiry with the municipality received positive feedback.
Plot size: 884m² (9509 sq ft)
Slope: Approximately 1.5m (5 ft) slope across the building width from north to south. Leveling out flat toward the street on the south side.
Number of parking spaces: 2 garage spaces
Number of stories: 2

Orientation: Dining/cooking areas facing south

Homeowners’ requirements
Style, roof type, building type: Urban villa, hipped roof
Basement, floors: Basement included, 2 floors
Number of occupants, ages: 2 (27 & 24 years old), planned total 4
Office: family use or home office? Home office
Guests staying overnight per year: few / couch is sufficient
Open or closed architecture: Open plan, living room separated by room divider
Conservative or modern construction: Modern
Open kitchen, kitchen island: Open plan, kitchen island absolutely necessary (for aesthetic reasons)
Number of dining seats: Large dining table for 8-12 people
Fireplace: Yes
Music/sound system wall: 5.1 surround sound for TV
Balcony, roof terrace: No
Garage, carport: Garage
Utility garden, greenhouse: Yes
Additional wishes/special features/daily routine, including reasons for chosen or excluded features: Living room is mainly used for watching TV, so south-facing orientation is not necessary

House design
Planned by: Planner
What do you like most? Why? All our wishes are included: straight staircase, laundry chute, cloakroom near the front door, pantry, kitchen island
What do you dislike? Why? The middle window on the south side is quite close to the bay window.
Price estimate according to architect/planner: 430k
Preferred heating technology: Air-source heat pump

If you had to give up some details or upgrades:
- What you could do without: laundry chute
- What you cannot do without: pantry, kitchen island, straight staircase

Why does the design look the way it does now? Countless drawings from us that the planner built on.
Which wishes were implemented by the architect? A mix of many examples from various magazines, our ideas, and our stubbornness ;-) ...
What do you think makes the design particularly good or bad? We think it’s very successful but welcome further suggestions

The exterior view is, of course, still missing.

That’s a matter of opinion. To help anyone who needs to catch up: the latest design version there was on www.hausbau-forum.de/threads/allererster-entwurf-des-erdgeschosses.24502/page-41, post #245.

I would have kept the facade cladding and the parapet of the kitchen bay window wrapping around the corner when aligning the building lines. Visually, it looked quite nice that way; my only objection was the increased effort required for structural engineering and insulation.

Since I focused on other aspects when reviewing the new plan, I didn’t even notice that. It should be kept as well. I will need to have it added back in.

What would bother me (given the house size) is the lack of a separate master bedroom area. The children do have their own bathroom, but the parents cannot use theirs privately. I have two teenagers at home, so this is very important to me.

Best regards,
Sabine

Why – do the kids demand a toll to pass through?

I actually like that there isn’t a separate parents’ and children’s bathroom here, just two bathrooms in total.
