Hello dear house building community!

I have been a quiet observer of this forum for a long time and now I would like to share my project with you and would appreciate your feedback and ideas.

The planning was done by my architect, but I am not entirely happy with it yet. Unfortunately, I have the impression that my architect is a bit fixed in his planning and does not fully incorporate our wishes. Maybe you have better ideas that I could present to him as solutions.

Plot size: 387 sqm (4,165 sq ft)

Slope: Yes
Site coverage ratio / plot ratio: 0.4

Floor-area ratio / floor space index: 0.8
Restrictions: Eaves height 7.50 m (24.6 ft)
Owner’s requirements

Style, roof shape, building type: Flat roof
Basement, floors: yes, 2 full floors
Number of people, ages: 33, 33, 6 (2 more to follow)
Room requirements on the ground floor: Kitchen/dining/living, pantry, guest toilet, entrance hall, corridor
Room requirements on the upper floor: 2 children's bedrooms, master bedroom, walk-in closet, large family bathroom

Room requirements in the basement: Guest room, home office, utility room, laundry room, storage room
Number of overnight guests per year: 10
Open or closed architecture: Open
Conservative or modern construction: Modern
Open kitchen, kitchen island: Open with kitchen island (L-shape 4 m x 2.8 m (13 ft x 9 ft 2 in)), island 3.2 m (10 ft 6 in) long
Number of dining seats: 6
Fireplace: Yes
Music/stereo wall: TV wall
Balcony, roof terrace: Roof terrace
Garage, carport: Single garage built on the property boundary

House design

Who created the design: Architect

What do you not like? Why?

- Children’s bedrooms too small
- Staircase shape
- Entrance hall too large?
- No master bathroom needed
- No utility room needed on the ground floor
- Walk-in closets in the children’s rooms do not need to be so large, rather a small closet as common in the USA.

In the basement, we would like the guest room and home office on the north side with floor-to-ceiling windows (the garage would need to be shifted a bit to the right in the plan)

If you have to give up something, which details/additions can you do without: Roof terrace

Why is the design like it is now? Restrictions due to plot size and orientation.

What is the most important/fundamental question about the floor plan in 130 characters?: Do you have any ideas how to make it more attractive?

I look forward to your feedback :-)

That may be true, but I wouldn’t go back to an architect who would actually draft it like that.
Any architect with even a bit of pride and idealism for their profession would refuse to take on this project.

If that’s true, about the architect, then. After all, we all know this isn’t really the work of a proper architect. Anyone would say goodbye to them and choose someone else before even discussing this mess.
Operating the software is one thing, and someone less experienced could easily get frustrated.
But there are also some major errors in the skilled trades here, which older professionals should definitely be able to recognize 😉

Regarding the missing staircase to the penthouse level:

At first, I didn’t think about it at all; my initial association with those lines was that of a plan showing foundations and a pool ;-)
