Hello everyone,
We are going to build an end-of-terrace house together with a general contractor and have, of course, already planned the floor plans and thought them through accordingly.
The plot measures 10 x 21m (33 x 69 ft), and as currently planned, the maximum available space has been used up, leaving us with enough room for the garden.
On the ground floor, the staircase will be closed off at the bottom and then used as additional storage for drinks or cleaning supplies. The utility connections will also be located in the cloakroom—my wife wanted a separate room so that shoes and jackets don’t always clutter the hallway.
From November, we will be four people, so we have decided to live together on one floor (the upper floor) with our two very small children, as it is simply more practical. A requirement for our master bedroom was the possibility to place a wardrobe 3m (10 ft) wide. However, we are still not completely satisfied with the layout of the upper floor, although we cannot think of any alternatives. The bathroom should stay the same size.
The attic will include a guest room, which will mainly serve as a playroom for the children and me. A large dormer will be added there. Later, one of the older children could move up there, and the two children's bedrooms on the upper floor would be combined into one large room. We both need a home office, so it is designed somewhat larger.
We intentionally moved the technical equipment to the attic because we are building without a basement, which would have meant placing it on the ground floor. That would have significantly reduced the available space there. We will also use this area for the washing machine and dryer, as well as an additional storage room.
Additionally, we will have a converted loft with a height of 1.36m (4 ft 6 in) as extra storage space.
I look forward to your suggestions.

How has the ground floor turned out in coordination with the general contractor, and what is the parking situation like?
Best regardsThe appointment is next week – however, there won’t be any surprises at that point. The entrance area on the ground floor will probably be widened slightly, and the window on the left side of the plan will be moved, then it’s finished.
The two parking spaces will either be placed next to the house or one of them in front of the house. All other options seemed too unusual for us.
I’m curious whether you’ll remember us in 5 years, when it becomes clear how inconvenient it is to bring bicycles to the street, move trash bins to the front, or get new plants into the garden. Maybe the memory will come sooner—after just 2 years—when once again the wrong car is parked in the preferred spot.
Yvonne’s very compact house design offers wonderful possibilities for garden landscaping while still providing 2 nice parking spaces.

I guess he'll notice that after just 5 days. After 5 years, he'll probably wonder if it was worth it, since the kids would rather play with friends on the street or at the playground.

goalkeeper2 Jul 2019 07:52Both of your reactions are completely unnecessary and childish – just because we don’t have to consider your suggestions doesn’t mean such spiteful comments are acceptable. And just because you have made suggestions here and are very active in the forum does not give you the right to be so dismissive – this has nothing to do with decency and is therefore entirely unwarranted.
Well, forums can be tricky. Everyone just shares their opinions.
That aside, I don’t think your design is so bad. Okay, the ground floor is really old-fashioned and cramped. But since you’re building hardly any parking spaces, I think that’s great from an environmental perspective. I’m still hoping for self-driving, free electric taxis for everyone in the future.
