Hello everyone,
We are currently in the planning phase for a new build and are currently favoring the following floor plans:
I look forward to your opinions and suggestions.
Development plan/restrictions: no relevant restrictions for our project
Plot size: 638 sqm (6867 sq ft)
Town villa with hipped roof: 2 full stories plus basement, terrace side with bay window
Number of occupants: 2 plus 1–2 in the future
Office in the basement: home office plus occasional client meetings
Overnight guests per year: approx. 5–10
Open architecture
Modern construction
Open kitchen
Fireplace: built-in masonry stove; considering a water-bearing fireplace
Garage: double garage with hipped roof style directly attached to the house
Entrance side = street side, entrance with canopy in hipped roof style
Solid construction without ventilation system
Planning by:
- Planner from a construction company based on our requirements
What we like particularly: large living/dining area and spacious bedrooms
What we dislike: the small office/storage room on the ground floor without windows
Preferred heating system: air-to-water heat pump + underfloor heating + fireplace,
also considering switching to a gas heating system.
Additionally, we are uncertain whether to use 36.5cm (14.4 inches) bricks with a U-value of 0.23 or 36.5cm (14.4 inches) bricks with integrated insulation (U-value 0.18) — are the additional costs worthwhile?
Is it worth installing a water-bearing fireplace?

What do you use the large basement room for?
For the office
I have my doubts whether it will be bright and pleasant despite the light well.
Visitors have to walk through the entire upstairs hallway and use the bathroom upstairs.
I think it would be better arranged like in the Rensch house Orando.
About the ground floor layout
The staircase is right next to the front door. It feels like a typical subdivision house and not like modern, spacious living.
The office is more like a storage room – there is enough storage space down in the basement. The pantry too. You have to walk
front door
living room
kitchen
pantry
just as far as to the basement.
There is no cloakroom.
The kitchen would be more practical by the terrace.
Upstairs, the bathroom is interesting.
Walk-in closet/bedroom would be better accessed through the closet so you don’t disturb your partner.

And why is the garage on the west side and not the east? You gain a lot of window areas on the nice west side if you switch it.
With the house size, there is more potential. The office on the ground floor isn’t even a proper living space... did I read correctly that the planner approved your design?
I think the bathroom is really clever!

Basement, garage, two offices, bay window as a worthless additional cost factor: it seems to me that wishes were not prioritized before being incorporated. As neat as the drawings look, the concept behind them is lacking. No, for me, a tilted washbasin doesn’t make up for that.
