Hello. My partner and I are planning to build a house soon. This is the first draft from the planner at the construction company. The design was created based on our specifications (a hand-drawn sketch from us).
Gable roof, single-family house, no basement, 1.5 stories, currently 2 people in the household; later 3-4.
The terrace is planned to be adjacent to the kitchen and living area, mainly facing west. Do you think it would be better to have it facing south instead? Possibly wrap around the corner near the living area?
Our requirement was to have direct access from the garage/carport into the utility room, and from there directly into the kitchen.
- Is the size of the utility room sufficient? All the building services should be housed there. Additionally, the utility room should also serve as a kind of pantry. Laundry tasks will also be done there.
- What do you think about the downstairs bathroom? Showering directly in front of the window doesn’t seem ideal^^.

We waste an incredible amount of paper in the office, and I’m one of the people who prints the least... Sad to hear. But if it’s necessary for work… still a pity. Maybe print a report showing how many football fields of rainforest are cleared daily and put it up in the office.
PS: "Think before you print" is in the footer of every one of our company emails.

A slightly friendlier and less preachy tone would suit you better... Are you serious?
Look at what you’re putting out there:

@WilhelmRo ... Reading educates. If you are going to quote and attribute something to someone, please do it correctly.
And nothing here is absolute; not everyone who asks questions here grew up with computers, and so on.
By the way, my post 82 from 09:22 did not refer to the architect in the first part, but more to the recommendation that everyone should immediately start testing the floor plan with a software tool.
