ᐅ Floor plan design for a new build modern semi-detached house with 6-meter ceiling height and 239 square meters of living space

During the day, I kept thinking about your more than 70 square meters (750 square feet), 6 meters (20 feet) high open-plan cube with the huge, strongly symmetrical window fronts. Personally, I think the space would overwhelm me. I can’t imagine feeling calm or cozy in a room like that. To me, it feels more like a factory hall.

Are you sure that’s what you want? Do you know similar houses, or have you spent extended time in one?

An Example – But Improved with a Gallery

Appearance is a matter of personal taste. I don't like the exterior of the house at all.

You are planning over 200 square meters (2,150 square feet) with a bathroom that has no natural daylight? The hallway upstairs is larger than a child’s bedroom. If you include a children's bathroom, the hallway upstairs will have no natural light. Unless you are vampires, the upper floor will be very dark. This is not what one would expect given the size and budget.
I share the concerns about the atmosphere and acoustics of the open living area with @wiltshire.

As for the ground floor, I believe @ypg already covered everything. The kitchen is very dark, as is the entrance and the room layout.
Somehow, I get the feeling that you enter the house through a basement.

This could be avoided by incorporating skylights or roof windows.

I'm a bit triggered by the extension of the open-plan living area designed as a split level. Somehow, it gives me the impression of a renovation of an old building with a modern extension that includes the open space. However, it's supposed to be a new build, just with an extension attached to the neighboring existing building.
I’m currently wondering why the utility rooms in the gable roof house are planned so carelessly, while the open-plan space has to stand out with a 6-meter (20 ft) ceiling height. Why is there such a blunt separation? If the garden, probably at the top of the plans facing southwest, is located there, why place the shower toilet and technical rooms on the south side, instead of situating the kitchen or dining area there? Then, if needed, use the windowless central wall for the utility rooms (at worst, even a windowless toilet) and put a shed roof on one half of the floor area, possibly with the children's rooms oriented to the south underneath?!

I’ll come back again to the question about the site plan and federal state.

@ypg I think skylights are a last resort. They still don’t provide a real view outside.

It will be a cozy sauna when all five need to shower at the same time... No ventilation system can handle that well enough.
The shower on the ground floor is not a serious alternative.
