ᐅ Floor plan idea: 180 sqm plus double garage.

Hello,

I’m planning to build a single-family house with a double garage and have received a design proposal.

It’s not quite final yet, and I would appreciate your feedback, especially regarding the upper floor.

The two full floors are divided as follows:
Basement = utility cellar
Ground floor = living/dining + kitchen + WC + storage room + office
Upper floor = 3 large rooms + family bathroom

Development Plan/Restrictions
Plot size: 830 sqm (8,930 sq ft)
Slope: no
Site coverage ratio: 0.4
Floor area ratio: not specified
Number of parking spaces: double garage
Number of floors: 2
Roof type: gable roof, 22 degrees
Architectural style: single-family house

Client Requirements
Style and roof type: gable roof
Number of occupants: 2 adults
Overnight guests per year: negligible
Large open-plan kitchen and living area
Number of dining seats: 6
Fireplace: to be included for future installation
Access from the house to the garage
Staircase with landing

What is the most important/basic question about the floor plan summarized in 130 characters?
- Ground floor living/dining: are the windows too big or too small?
- Children’s rooms: what do you think of the layout, especially for child 2?
- How could the upper floor be improved regarding windows and the balcony?

What I would change on the ground floor:
- I will move the passage to the garage down slightly so you don’t stand directly in front of the car.
- A sliding door will be added between the hallway and living room.
- The office door will be shifted to the left so the room could also be used as a guest room.

Does anyone have ideas on what else could be optimized?
The upper floor doesn’t suit me yet and needs revision.
I’m not satisfied with the south side so far.

Thanks in advance for your feedback!
