Hello everyone,
I would really appreciate your help with my situation!
Plot: 605 m² (6500 ft²), width 18.7 m (61 ft) – length about 32.x m (105.x ft)
Current house size: width 8.09 m (27 ft) – length 11.84 m (39 ft) (length and width can still be changed)
At the moment, I’m really struggling with the layout of the ground floor. I’m quite unsure about the arrangement of the rooms. Everything is still open to change.
The living room should be relatively large and face west, the kitchen definitely needs to be closed off, and there should be a pantry, a study, and a utility/technical room. The layout of these rooms is still completely flexible. What do you think of this current floor plan? The double garage will be built right on the property line, so there will still be a passage about 3 to 4 m (10 to 13 ft) wide at the bottom leading to the backyard.
In the southwest corner of the living room, there are currently two fixed large windows designed to replace a conservatory. The upper door is meant to be a terrace door leading out to the backyard.
All doors could also be sliding doors, although that might only make sense for the pantry or for the entrance to the living room from the kitchen/hallway.
An advantage of placing the pantry here is that it wouldn’t require a window, since the double garage is blocking the exterior wall.
Once I have the ground floor roughly finalized, I can focus on the upper floor, otherwise it’s driving me crazy. I think that the arrangement of the halfway staircase landing will make it somewhat easier to divide the upper floor into four reasonably sized rooms.
I would be very grateful for any further tips!!
Best regards,
ravosch

And please, for future floor plan drawings, always include the north arrow and, if possible, the outline of the garage wall and driveway. There are many threads on this topic, and it’s not always easy to keep every site plan in mind. It can be tedious to have to scroll back repeatedly to find this information. (Unfortunately, not everyone includes these details in the very first post, where they would be easier to locate.) 😉
And always furnish important rooms like kitchens and bedrooms with wardrobes to some extent. This way, you can quickly spot the weak points of floor plans yourself (after some practice 😉 ).

Quite similar to our floor plan. Although we don’t have the utility room on the ground floor, which allows us to build a bit "shorter."
However, with the tight width of 8 m (26 feet), I would consider a half-landing staircase, as that might provide a bit more “space.”Could you possibly share your floor plan with me? It would really help.
It seems that a staircase integrated into the living room might not be the best option after all.
Kind regards,

I would place the living room on the west side, oriented north-south. Next to it, a straight staircase, with the front door on the north side beside that. To the east of the front door, the kitchen and utility room side by side. In the southeast, an office, with a guest bathroom next to it. The pantry is removed, but with the utility room being about 10 m² (108 sq ft), there should be enough space for the washing machine, chest freezer, technical equipment, and a storage cabinet or shelving.
I am convinced that it makes more sense to relocate the living room completely towards the west. However, I am concerned about the width and size of the living room. I won’t get more than 30m² (320 sq ft) and I hope that will be enough.
I don’t think it would be a problem to change the entrance to face north instead of east. I just can’t quite imagine how that would look, especially if the garage will also be located there.
I know you don’t know roughly where the garage will be situated, so I will try to draw it tonight.
Keeping the pantry is a request from my partner. Since we don’t have a basement and she’s used to having one from before, it definitely has to be included, even though I personally believe that large cabinets in the kitchen could compensate for it.

Oh, and attached is the original floor plan we intended to use for our planning. The idea was simply to swap the entrance with the restroom and that’s it.
In this floor plan, theoretically, only the pantry would be missing.
*edit* and the grid is slightly smaller in width (to 11.84m (38.85 feet))
