Additional Requests / Special Features / Daily Routine, including reasons for choices
Living should be fully possible on the ground floor, therefore the bedroom is downstairs with direct access to the bathroom and walk-in closet. A forest borders the property at the back, so living-dining area and bedroom face the forest. The toilet should be separate from the bathroom so someone can use the toilet undisturbed while the partner gets ready. Also, guests do not need to enter the bathroom, only the toilet.

- Cannot give up: Bedroom and living-dining room facing the garden
Why was the design created this way? For example:
Standard design from the planner?
The plot is narrow at the front and widens toward the back. Therefore, a rather narrow house (approx. 8 m wide (26 ft)) with a bay window. On the left (south) side is a neighbor, so we want the living-dining area on the right and the garage on the left for separation.
What do you consider particularly good or bad about it?
The house fits well into the building window. Living on one level is well implemented.
What is the most important/basic question about the floor plan in 130 characters or less?
What do you think about the general orientation of the house? For example, the living room facing west.

No, a bungalow would also be allowed. However, there are a few reasons against it:
1) We need at least a home office.
2) We often have weekend guests and require a guest room.
3) There are no children planned or present yet, but we want to have 1-2 children's rooms as a "backup." Family planning should not fail because of the space.
Fitting all of this on one floor would exceed the limits.

@haydee The reason for having the bedroom on the ground floor is quite simple. We have dogs, and they sometimes need to go outside at night. That’s also why the bedroom is facing the garden. This way, we only need to open the floor-to-ceiling window, and the dogs can go out.

It’s not a 2 m (6.5 ft) line, I’m not sure how to calculate from where the 2 m (6.5 ft) height is reached. The roof pitch should be 40 degrees.The best way to determine this is to draw the cross-section on graph paper using a set square.
