Hello dear forum members,
I am sharing a draft design of an urban villa for discussion.
Facts: flat plot of land, 27 meters (89 feet) wide, 29 meters (95 feet) deep. Street to the west, neighboring buildings on the north and south sides, and a nice view of meadows to the east.
No relevant restrictions in the zoning/building permit plan.
Wish list:
Urban villa, classic white plaster facade, anthracite-colored roof, classic layout with 3 bedrooms (2 children’s rooms) on the upper floor, a walk-in closet, and one family bathroom. On the ground floor, a shower toilet room, and preferably a private office.
Originally planned with a basement, but willing to omit it to save costs, provided there is a large utility room with ample freezer space.
A half-landing staircase with a window to the east was initially favored but later discarded due to time constraints. Open living area with plenty of natural light...
Double garage with some workshop space and direct access from the garage into the house.
Optimal placement of the house with a south/west-facing garden.
I currently have two versions, one with the kitchen on the east side:
Edit: In the east elevation, you can see two odd stairway windows. Please imagine these as a continuous window strip or something similar – my software struggles with the ground floor ceiling and won’t allow a continuous window there.

The view is beautiful – so why such a “small” window? Why not a 4m (13 ft) floor-to-ceiling window?Are you referring to the window in the stairwell? The YPG included something similar in the initial design. In the later design, it might have been adjusted or shifted due to the software used. But maybe this also makes it clearer why a landing staircase on the east side was planned.
Häuslebau3r7 Nov 2016 08:00@BeHaElJa, it would probably look something like this, couldn’t change or display it differently with a basic graphics program.
At the moment, I’m leaning towards extending the garage roof further east. This way, it would create a kind of covered space / wood storage area.
I recently saw this with friends who have already added onto theirs after 5 years. What do you think? (regardless of potentially higher costs due to the larger roof area).

My wood will be stored in the wood shelter by the garden shed and not against the attractive exterior wall of the house. Depending on the stove, however, the house wall might be more practical, as it is closer to the house. But our stove has ash boxes that hold a small supply of wood.

yes, that was just an example. You could also store other things here, like wheels, garden furniture, and whatever else you might have.
It’s just something I noticed at friends’ places, and in hindsight it really doesn’t look good. It almost doesn’t match the house and feels like an afterthought, but it was necessary. Of course, the garden shed is a different matter altogether. ^^

No, that's fine too, but I meant in the living room and 4m (13 feet) wide. This is where you’ll sit, relax, and enjoy the sun.Oh, I see, then I misunderstood sorry..
but that would already be hinted at, or did you mean the width as well?
For example, I’m still considering a floor-to-ceiling window in the master bedroom on the upper right... or would that be too much?
