ᐅ Floor plan of a single-family house with a double garage and a terrace

Hello.

I think the integrated garage and its ceiling as a small terrace are fine. However, you should place the door to the garage from the hallway rather than from the party room (maybe leave out the second door in the middle). It would be inconvenient if you’re having a party and a slightly tipsy guest mistakes the door and suddenly stumbles over your car with a bottle in hand. Not to mention, you’d constantly have to walk through the party room every time you want to get to the car.

On the top floor, the left room is still quite narrow (just under 3m (10 feet), if I’m seeing that correctly), but it is long (over 5m (16 feet)). One possible solution would be to shift the outer wall all the way outwards, similar to the master bedroom (the ceiling above the terrace would then obviously need support, but that wouldn’t look bad at all and is definitely doable). Additionally, you could move the wall between the master bedroom and this room slightly so both spaces gain more area, while eliminating the awkward angled wall.

Best regards

Thank you for the suggestions.
I will modify the door to the garage.
I have also considered moving the exterior wall of the children’s room in the attic outward. I’ll need to discuss with my architect whether this is feasible.
I will probably move the bathroom wall toward the dressing room and the dressing room wall toward the bedroom. The bedroom doesn’t need to be that large since I have a dressing room.

I’m not sure if it makes sense, but the front door could possibly open in the opposite direction. Advantage: You enter directly into the cloakroom.
Disadvantage: On the right side, you would face a wall – opening it towards the left, in the direction of the stairs, would create a more open feeling. Especially when there are several people (kids) involved, the first ones start undressing while the others are still outside – meaning the door is open, but there is no place to put down their belongings.

I like the latest version. However, I would suggest adding windows on the terrace side (to the west) in the living area, so you can get some evening sunlight there.

You can omit the dining area in the kitchen due to the adjacent table. Perhaps arrange the kitchen in a U-shape (opening facing down), with the left side not extending all the way to the wall to allow passage to the living room, creating more of a breakfast bar.

It might also be possible to enlarge the bathroom on the upper floor by reducing or removing the walk-in closet.

May I ask within what price range your project falls?

Thank you for the many suggestions. I think the idea with the front door is a good one. I hadn’t considered that before.
I still need to have the cost estimate calculated.
It will be between 250,000 and 300,000. A plot of land is already available.
I should mention that I am building in a rural area, where prices are somewhat lower than in the city.
