ᐅ Floor Plans for Single-Family House and Garage

At first, north was no good (dark dungeon?!?!) now it’s west, and now too much sun??!?! 😀

It’s simple: children spend the day in their rooms, so the south side is ideal. Not north, because it’s dark. Not west, because of evening sunlight.
I would generally plan bedrooms to face northeast and children’s rooms to face south.

Curly irons clothes in the bedroom, so she prefers it larger and brighter. Okay, if I use the bedroom differently, that makes sense.
If you only use it for sleeping, I don’t understand why anyone would want a ballroom with south-facing panoramic windows. I would rather reserve that for a room used during the day. I (as an old bath and wellness enthusiast) would probably put the bathroom on the south side and create a wellness retreat there instead of the bedroom.

You don’t have children yet, so I understand wanting to enjoy beautiful rooms for yourself first. But for a bedroom, the south side would bother me. Especially because it can get really hot in summer, and what do you do? Use sun protection all day just to keep the room at a reasonable temperature. Such a shame for a nice room.

But I would find the south side more disturbing for a bedroom, precisely because it can get very hot in summer.

So, place the children's rooms nicely on the south side since it is bright during the day? Because unlike the master bedroom, the children's rooms won’t get hot in summer?!?

I can’t see where the property ends on the west side. Are you building beyond the boundary?

Of course, we are not building beyond the boundary. The entire site plan simply didn’t fit on my scanner. On the west side, there are about 6m (20 feet) to the neighbor, and to the south there are about 11.50m (38 feet) from the bay window to the boundary.

I would also skip the storage room in the kitchen, but create direct access from the hallway to have shorter routes and not always have to walk through the living room

Between the fireplace and the pantry, the oven and pull-out pantry cabinet from the kitchen builder will be installed. (The space between is 1.05m (3.4 feet))

Probably because the sump is only under the garage. Therefore, the building services need to be inside the house in order to meet the energy saving regulations within the building envelope 😉

Exactly! 😉

Why do you need 4 parking spaces?

And, there is a basement as well? Then definitely no pantry. But why is part of the building services located on the ground floor?

It’s simple. The driveway is about 11m (36 feet) long—I can’t make it any shorter because otherwise the parked cars would be in the line of sight at the intersection. That easily fits two parking spaces, plus the two inside the garage... and as we all know, 2 + 2 = 4...

Kitchen/terrace … because of grilling, etc. The only access to the terrace is through the bay window. That will be tight and not very practical. I’m also interested in the planned kitchen furnishings with this tiny pantry (which I would remove). Ideally, there should be terrace access from the kitchen… grilling, fetching drinks, especially with children playing, etc.

We only know one terrace access, which is from the living/dining room. Both of us grew up with that and it doesn’t bother us.

Laundry folding area… wouldn’t it be more sensible to have it where the washing machine is?

Definitely, but we hang our laundry to dry after washing, which we expect to do in the walk-in closet or office.
