Hello dear members of the forum,
I have been a silent reader for some time now, and since we are currently in the planning phase, I would like to share our current floor plan and hope to get some feedback!
The plot is huge, measuring 50 x 75m (164 x 246 ft). The street, which has moderate traffic, is located to the south. The land slopes downward away from the street toward the north, with about a 3m (10 ft) drop over 15m (49 ft), then it flattens out again. There are already houses on both the left and right sides of the property. Behind the plot are agricultural fields.
The current plan includes a total living area of approximately 170m² (1,830 sq ft). Since the street is to the south, we want a small garden on that side and a larger one to the north because that is where the green fields are located.
The idea behind the floor plan was to allow access from the living area to both gardens, so everything basically becomes one unit. It was important for us to have an open living and dining area and for the parents’ zone to be on the same floor. That way, the children (1-2 planned) have their own area in the basement—not ideal initially, but most likely everyone will be happy with it later 😉.
We also really wanted direct access from the bedroom to the bathroom.
I am still not completely satisfied with the window arrangement (regarding the exterior appearance), but I am not sure what could be changed.
For storage space, an attic is planned.
The bathroom in the basement will have a “basement window” and a bathtub.
The entrance on the floor plan is on the south side.
Load-bearing walls in the basement have not yet been drawn.
The plan is to keep the build ready for finishing costs under 400k—doable?
I am looking forward to your opinions and hope for some helpful tips!

As a silent reader, we are currently working on our planned floor plan as well; before sharing it, I wanted to ask which software is being used here? I haven’t yet found an ideal solution, especially regarding the exterior view and dimensioning...Many thanks for your feedback!

Especially regarding the exterior view and dimensioning, I haven’t found an optimal solution yet...A great tool is "sketching analog," whether with a pen or pencil, preferably on graph paper, then photographed with your phone and posted here. The less drafting experience you have, the more likely it is that the first version won’t be very good. By the way, professionals NEVER create a frame-worthy, fully detailed presentation on their first try – that’s more of a super high-definition amateur tendency.https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

however, then we would have no south-facing windows at allIs the north arrow on the site plan correct? Do you have to walk all the way around the house to reach the entrance, including going up some stairs?
If the street is indeed to the south and the garden to the north, I would at least consider mirroring the living level to get west sunlight into the open-plan living area.
The sleeping area can then be positioned to the east.
