Hello,
I would like to hear your opinions about the initial architectural plan. It was created based on my specifications: a maximum of 130m2 (1400 sq ft), wood-burning stove, no basement, walk-in closet, garage for a car and a motorcycle. Since I am currently single, I designed the house so that I could live there later with my wife (and two children). Also, I considered the potential resale value. The garage on the left side of the plot is already under construction! This is a new development area with traffic-calmed streets.
Best regards,
Thomas

I no longer find the living room optimal.
Having to walk through the relaxation area every time to get to the kitchen is inconvenient, especially when living with family. There is also no direct, quick access to the kitchen.
I’m not a fan of an isolated utility room either. I use ours very often, and having to go through the kitchen first would be impractical.
Other than that, the house feels cozy and comfortable.
This is largely due to the sloped ceilings, which are now somewhat out of favor here.
I really like the upstairs. I would make the dressing room accessible from the hallway.
If the bedroom feels too large, you can slightly reduce the size of all bedrooms. But at least there is space there for a PC or a home trainer [emoji6].
