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^^.

Without the obstacle of having to open a PDF, the discussion would attract more participants. When it comes to images, please don’t forget to include elevations; floor plans are only half the story.

I’m uploading the pictures here for those who don’t open PDFs:
Regarding the utility room issue:
I would limit the children’s rooms to about 12m² (130 sq ft) each and add a laundry room upstairs. This isn’t a huge house! Large bedrooms for the kids are nice, but if mom loses it because there’s no space in the utility room for laundry, they won’t be happier with 15m² (160 sq ft).

Except for the "Frisian gable" on the walk-in closet, this looks like a typical suburban house that could have been standing in Grevenbroich since 1960; inhabited by someone with a middle part hairstyle working in a non-technical postal service.

I would add an extra window each to the kitchen and the study on the gable side. Upstairs, possibly double casement windows.
