Hello dear forum,
I have been a quiet reader for a long time and would now like to present our design for a single-family house.
The plot is already reserved but not yet serviced, so I don’t have all the required information yet; however, we have already started experimenting. It is plot number 21 in the development area.
I have already taken many of your forum suggestions into account. For example, the walk-in closet is now accessible from the hallway so that sleeping persons are not disturbed, and the rooms can still be swapped flexibly without constantly running through a child’s room. We did not position the kitchen directly next to the terrace, but the path is kept very short through the dining area (in the drawing, the dining table is fully extended; normally it is only 2 m (6.5 ft) long). Since there is not much space for a wardrobe in the hallway (except under the stairs), the walk-in closet is large enough to accommodate clothing for more than two people. The attic is accessible and offers additional space.
The drawing completely omits the garage, which is planned to be 6 x 9 m (20 x 30 ft) and adjoins the house on the left with access to the utility room. For garden tools etc., the garage is deep at the rear, providing 6 x 3 m (20 x 10 ft) of space. The utility room is also intended to serve as a small pantry / beverage cellar, so it is quite spacious and has direct access to the kitchen.
Most of the furniture shown is already owned or planned.
So, I look forward to your feedback and thank you in advance for your contributions!
One more addition: unfortunately, I did not include a north arrow in the drawings, but the house will be built 3 m (10 ft) from the street boundary along the building envelope, so the entrance faces northeast. Is that clear? ops:

Just very quickly, have to leave soon...
What I personally don’t like at all: a detached single-family house, but the kitchen, living, and dining area feels like a townhouse. Windows only on the front side, none on the left or right. The kitchen/dining area also feels quite tight. A square island just for the cooktop is highly impractical (you can’t place anything properly, cooking only takes up a small portion of the time compared to preparation, ...)

j.bautsch22 Jun 2017 12:36I share the same view as the previous commenter. The island won’t work as planned, because when frying, grease will splatter in three directions, and anyone entering the kitchen risks slipping.
The utility room is very difficult to use effectively due to the three doors. I would focus on leaving space behind the doors to place cabinets or shelves.
Additionally, I would swap the bedroom with the lower children’s room to have both children’s rooms next to each other. This provides acoustic separation, and both children’s rooms receive afternoon light. In the bedroom, that’s not necessary, since it’s mainly used for sleeping.

At first glance, I would have said that following your progress so far has been worthwhile; it already looks pretty good—except for the awkwardly positioned cross gable.
But now I’m more inclined to think: it’s a pity, after the discussion everything will have been torn apart.
The almost full-house-depth garage should be moved to the other side. The impact of a fan-ventilated guest bathroom seems far more acceptable to me than living with what I consider an overrated garage-utility room passage that effectively results in a kitchen without windows.
In a redesign, I would make the window sizes more consistent.
With a huge garage, the utility room could be smaller and placed on the same side as the guest bathroom (why would it need a shower there?).

Maybe that’s why the criticism about the lack of a visible wardrobe here is a bit softer.https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/
