Hello,
until now I have only been reading along here. We have now "spontaneously" bought a plot in the Würzburg district where I would like to build a single-family house next year (I have already started a thread for the architect search). So far, I am open regarding the construction method and the planning/execution of the project. Houses of friends have inspired me to roughly plan my "own" floor plan. However, I am not completely satisfied with it and would like to share my "requirements specification" and designs here. Maybe you can give me some helpful advice.
The main "problem" is the ground floor; I am confident I can accommodate everything I imagine sensibly on the upper floor.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Basement, storeys basement + ground floor + intermediate floor
Number of residents, age two adults + 1 child + 1 additional child planned
Space requirements on ground floor: living/dining/kitchen (>70m² (750 sq ft)); pantry (5m² (54 sq ft)), WC (3m² (32 sq ft)), entrance area (10m² (108 sq ft)), office (12m² (129 sq ft)) , upper floor: bedroom (12-15m² (129-161 sq ft)), dressing room (10m² (108 sq ft)), bathroom (20m² (215 sq ft)), children’s bathroom (6-8m² (65-86 sq ft)), 2 x children’s rooms (>20m² (215 sq ft)), possibly storage room
Office: family use or home office? home office and sleeping option
Overnight guests per year estimated 10 overnight stays/year
Open-plan or closed layout open!
Conservative or modern construction modern
Open kitchen, kitchen island open kitchen with large kitchen island (approx. 3 x 1.2m (10 x 4 ft)) + at least an L-shape around the island
Number of dining seats a 2 x 1m (6.5 x 3.3 ft) table should fit with seating all around
Fireplace yes!
Music / stereo wall TV wall with surround system
Balcony, roof terrace no
Garage, carport double garage, ideally with deep parking space
Utility garden, greenhouse no
Further wishes/special features/daily routine, also reasons why certain things should or should not be included: Piano space must be provided (take fireplace into account), a staircase from the living area would be nice (basement stairs possibly separate), a view from the upper stair landing into the ground floor would be nice, staircase only with straight steps (landing stairs or straight), terraces on the south and west sides (neighbors to be considered on south side), entrance area must be accessible both from the front door and the garage
House design
Who made the plans: own design
What do you particularly like? Why? room layout (design 002) (approx. 13 x 11m (43 x 36 ft))
What do you not like? Why? space for the fireplace, hardly any south terrace, which can also be obstructed by neighbors
What do you particularly like? Why? larger south terrace possible (elongated design) (approx. 15 x 10m (49 x 33 ft)) (question is how large the room can be without support)
What do you not like? Why? space for the fireplace, where should the staircase go, kitchen island possibly too large as drawn
Price estimate according to architect/planner:
Personal price limit for the house including features: around 450,000€ (about 450k euros)
Preferred heating system: not yet specified, no gas, preferably autonomous (solar, photovoltaic, possibly heat pump,...) not a zero-energy or plus-energy house!
If you have to give up something, which details/expansions
-can you do without: tbd
-can you not do without: tbd
Maybe you can give me some additional ideas.

The kitchen island is planned to be 1.2 m deep (3.9 ft).
The storage room on the upper floor is included in the plan but is not strictly necessary. It will be built if there is enough space; otherwise, it will be omitted.
A spacious staircase is a desired feature, possibly with a "balcony" or open area to look down from above. However, this is likely to be a cost-related sacrifice. The staircase is definitely a challenge for me, as I cannot realistically fit it into the elongated design, which I currently prefer.
The basement will definitely be built.

You already mentioned that you haven’t set a budget for the entire project, but I want to point out that with a configuration including
- 220 sqm (2,370 sq ft) of living space
- a basement
- a double garage
- energy self-sufficiency
- and so on,
you will significantly underestimate your cost estimate or target price. Really significantly. It won’t just be €100,000 or €150,000 less. In 2019, there will still be a considerable price increase due to the construction subsidy for families, in addition to the usual annual price rises.
So keep your eyes open... good luck and, of course, enjoy the further planning.

I didn’t see any proper room layout at all, just a Tetris of rooms.
I would start with a basic structure before discussing the depth of the kitchen island.
The requirements and must-haves don’t seem to be properly implemented. The expertise of a professional is missing here.
Was there a site plan or elevations shown?
But I’m not opening any more PDFs now.
If a discussion is to take place here, it’s better to upload JPGs.

Which plot of land is it? I can’t tell from the site plan. The PDF does include some measurements, which I assume are oriented to north, but as drawn there is only about 3m (10 feet) distance from the south side of the house to the neighboring property, and a terrace is supposed to be built there. As far as I know, a terrace cannot be constructed within a 3m (10 feet) setback.

Design style, roof style, building type modern / "not a house that looks like every other," therefore the preference for a shed roofI could understand that with a true shed roof, but I don’t see a staggered shed roof as suitable for breaking away from the monotonous design.https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/
