ᐅ Preliminary Floor Plan Sketch – Room for Improvement?

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,

I would swap the utility room and the toilet, so you don’t have an extra door right at the entrance and have more space for a wardrobe. The toilet can then also be aligned with the stair depth. Plus, when you want to go to the toilet in your cozy socks during winter, you won’t have to walk through any grit or melted snow. 😉

Great idea! Now a wardrobe fits perfectly as well. 😀
