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

Thank you very much for all the helpful comments.
We have an appointment with the architect on Monday to discuss several points.
I used the architect’s SketchUp project file and placed some furniture.
I am attaching the 3D renderings. There are two versions:
one with the current design and another with the provisional gallery I added, based on your suggestions regarding the ceiling height in the living and dining area.
Thanks again for the support.
I will get back to you as soon as the revised design is available.

Best regards,

Now you have a gallery that is 0.5m (20 inches) wide in front of a bare wall without windows. Why?
This could be an opportunity to bring light into the rooms behind the wall.
How do you get onto the gallery, and how do you use it?

In my opinion, this is a common issue with experimenting using various PC programs. Everything initially seems clear and visually appealing, but people tend to overlook the importance of precise details and measurements, which you can quickly recognize on a floor plan with actual dimensions and furniture.

The original poster (OP) does not yet seem to realize that the floor plan or design will completely change as soon as any adjustment is made. If you move something here, something else shifts elsewhere.

That is exactly why the floor plan needs to be developed step by step, rather than trying to force a beautiful image backwards into exact numbers.

Therefore, there will be a completely new approach, which is not a problem at all. Imagining possibilities is always allowed.

What do you think, @lucaskilam?
Is it no longer worth responding for you?

Sorry for the late reply, and thank you for your response.
Our share of the plot is 1027 square meters (11051 square feet). There is a fixed building area, and the plot is located in 21109 Hamburg.

Sorry for the late reply and thank you for your response. We had a pipe burst in the office, which left me a bit overwhelmed – hence the delayed answer. Is the attached photo sufficient?

Hi, since we recently planned a single-family house with three children’s bedrooms ourselves, I might be able to contribute something.

1. The hallway on the ground floor feels poorly lit. You probably want to set up a wardrobe next to the stairs. Think carefully about whether you want your three kids to walk through half the ground floor with dirty shoes.

2. I like the split between living, dining, and kitchen areas – those who have it, can use it. To really highlight it, in my opinion, you would need a wider passage width.

3. Kitchen: The island is cool, but the distance from the cooktop to the rest seems too large for efficient everyday work. That would annoy me over time.

4. Three kids and no bathtub? And yes: a children’s bathroom makes absolute sense, especially since your main bathroom is quite compact. I would treat myself to that luxury.

5. Do you like your children? No offense – but given the size of the house, you could easily gain 1–2m² (11–22 sq ft) more space for the children’s bedrooms upstairs, for example by removing the walk-in closets. I would also reconsider the window sizes in the children’s rooms.

6. Do you really want to live in such a dark block?

7. The budget could get tight.

We now have an appointment with the architect on Monday and will discuss several things, especially the entrance area. A wardrobe there definitely makes sense, thanks for the suggestion. A bathtub is rather not desired, and we hope the size of the children’s rooms will be okay.
