Hello everyone,
we are in the process of building a single-family house with a basement suitable for living. This is the design we have come up with. I would like to hear from you if you see any possibilities for improvements.
On the ground floor, there is a side entrance door on the right. The carport will be located there.
In the basement living area, the children's rooms face south. From there, it should be possible to access the terrace and the garden.
I look forward to your tips and suggestions!

No, not really, it all spreads out anyway. Still, I don’t find my table too big (it’s probably one of the larger ones here).
Family gatherings – with proper meals, 10 people sit comfortably at the table, 12 is still doable, at 14 you just hope the kids finally get up, and from 12 on there’s no room for a wheelchair.
Parties – the space spreads out; there aren’t many of those at the moment, but yes, then it’s almost in the way.
For sewing, it’s a dream. Space for the machine, cutting, and ironing. Perfect.
For work, perfect. Space for a laptop, brochures, pictures, flyers, technical drawings (I still often work from home in the evenings and nights).
And yes, from time to time, the table is also used for eating.
Our sofa is hardly used. I’ve even considered moving it upstairs and setting up a large children’s area downstairs.

The door to the multipurpose room swings open against the kitchen cabinets, which makes the cabinets behind it difficult to use since this door is usually left open. Unfortunately, I couldn’t tell from the plan how long the kitchen cabinet wall above the door is supposed to be. In any case, make sure there’s not just a few centimeters (inches) missing at the end for installing cabinets (door frame, etc.).Could someone roughly tell me the costs for a prefabricated garage measuring 9 x 6 meters (30 x 20 feet)? We are considering whether we should go for something like this. The quoted price, including the foundation, masonry, and brick facing, 2 doors, 1 window, and a large electric roller shutter door, is 35,000 net. Is that expensive, normal, or cheap?

a prefabricated garage 9x6m (29.5x19.7 ft)… would at least not be seamless, so I would prefer to go with a modular system right away (Bimsfertigbau Hoffmann, no affiliation).Franky73 schrieb:

The roll-up door is appealing but quite rare in detached house settings, where sectional garage doors are more common. The idea of a couple driving out of the garage like synchronized swimmers is Hollywood fantasy. In reality, I recommend two single doors—large double doors only really fit with “Bauhaus” or modern minimalist architectural styles.https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

Sorry, not a prefabricated garage but a 9x6 meter (30x20 feet) double garage built on-site by the contractor with the following features:
Is this realistic or too expensive? I don’t have a clear sense of the market, as I’ve seen prices around 25,000€ online.
Brick slips are also a good idea!
- Flat roof
- 2 doors
- 1 window
- 1 sectional door
- Brick cladding
- Including 50 sqm (540 sq ft) storage room
