ᐅ What do you think of my design plans?

Ah yes, thanks, now I have found the floor plan. Briefly, at first glance, I noticed the following:

- The kitchen, with its U-shaped layout, is probably the most impractical design possible. A galley kitchen with two parallel runs would be more practical and likely cheaper.

- The dining table feels like a "walk-through" area, placed right beside the entrance with views of the kitchen or sofa. The fireplace might get too hot for those sitting on the side. I’m not certain about this, but I know from friends who mean well and light the fireplace, and I’m always glad to have a presentable T-shirt underneath for a half-strip. 😀

- Personally, I don’t like the living area. This is because I’m not a fan of L-shaped sofas and having the TV in the room like that. If you like it, though, it could work. However, you’d then have windows behind or beside you that would cast light on the TV, which is not practical and needs to be managed.

- The master bedroom is quite small at 13m² (140 sq ft) for a double bed and wardrobe. Unless you sleep on a rather common "small double" bed of 140–160cm (55–63 inches) width.

- The cloakroom offers very little space. It’s similar in size to what you would find in a typical mid-terrace house. Maybe combine the pantry with the cloakroom? And store supplies either in the kitchen or cellar?

These are just some quick initial thoughts. Many aspects depend on your lifestyle and priorities. We don’t really know what you want from your house and what you’re looking forward to.

Thank you for your feedback!
In what way do you find the G-shaped kitchen impractical?

Please only evaluate the exterior view and the window arrangement.

Thank you for your opinion.
But do you also have any suggestions for improvement?

Sure, if the facade is very important to you, I have a few suggestions for improvement.
- Remove the corner pillar
- Avoid "half-height" windows in the office and living areas, as these rooms will become too dark
- Align the windows on the ground floor and first floor directly above each other, not staggered
- Ensure the basement light wells are the same size and exactly in line with the windows on the ground and first floors
- On each side of the house, use only one type of window; do not mix floor-to-ceiling windows with standard windows and also strip windows
- Completely redesign the side of the house where half has no windows

In general: Google "city villa gable roof" and compare that to your design 😉

Which side of the house faces the street, and where is the garage located?

I thought from the exterior views that this would be a two-family house. 😀 But it seems to be a mansion for three people?

Mansion? Except for the children’s rooms, the rooms are rather small.

It looks like a multi-family house, hence the term "palace."
With a basement, it’s certainly not exactly modest either.

Everything that needed to be said about the windows has already been mentioned.

I also doubt that the furniture is to scale. Especially in the open-plan area, the shown free spaces seem unrealistic given the stated square meters. However, it is difficult to judge without the exact dimensions.

The exterior view also seems too cluttered to me. It would be better to limit yourself to just two parapet heights.
