Hello everyone,

We are slowly but surely getting a bit frustrated with the floor plan design and could really use some different opinions and ideas.

Here are the most important details:

Attached you will find the latest draft from our potential builder.

It’s a city villa with a flat or low-pitched roof with a maximum slope of 10 degrees and a green roof, which we want to have constructed as a hipped roof.
Due to the building plot’s size restrictions, our house can be a maximum of 8.50 m (28 feet) wide. We aim for 130–135 m² (1,400–1,450 sq ft) of living space.

Ground Floor Requirements:

- Side entrance on the east side with an adjacent carport, possibly also on the south side
- Small entrance hall (currently wasted space)
- Utility room should be at least 9 m² (97 sq ft)
- Staircase preferably as shown or a half-turn staircase (maybe with storage under the stairs)
- Guest bathroom with a shower
- Cloakroom niche
- The kitchen layout should be roughly similar to the floor plan
- The fireplace is unfortunately misplaced—it should actually be where the couch is. According to the builder, this is not possible with this city villa design.

On the north and west sides, we have a nice field next to the property, so we want windows facing those directions.

Upper Floor Requirements:

- Circulation space connecting bedroom, dressing room, and bathroom, with the bathroom also accessible from the hallway
- For the bed, we need at least 3.80 m (12.5 feet) of space, and we have about 6 m (20 feet) of wardrobe (Ikea Pax) that needs to be accommodated
- Home office
- Children’s room

Maybe you have some ideas on how to optimize this floor plan. We are looking forward to your suggestions.

Good luck

@MiTo2020 Without a site plan, we can hardly give you any advice. A sketch with the most important information about the building plot will also do.

Reflect on your plans. Your wishes do not match the size of the house. You will need to shorten the wish list. Almost all home builders have to do this.

I’m afraid we have driven the original poster away. According to the information in their profile, MiTo2020 checks in daily, but there are no new updates… a pity.

Not everyone is able to follow advice. It’s up to each individual whether they stay hidden or come forward.
After all, he can read!
