Hello everyone,
Regarding the utility room, I wanted to ask for your opinion on whether it is adequately sized.
The plan includes a gas heating system, a photovoltaic system, and possibly solar panels later on.
Smart home features are virtually nonexistent, and if implemented, only on the ground floor.
The yellow walls indicate the space or corner allocated for this purpose.
The red lines show the dimensions of the interior walls.

Supply under the garage.
Most utility providers don’t like that; either additional measures become necessary, or it might not be approved at all.
Make sure to clarify this in advance.
MSP, pay attention to the positioning of utilities—water and gas should be kept as far apart as possible to avoid conflicts with the meters.
For underfloor heating, check how large the manifold (HKV) will be and how many circuits it will have.
Place the heating system so that short routes without bends are possible. Thank you very much for that 🙂

No mechanical ventilation with heat recovery? No, it is not planned.

The consumers are best connected directly and as close as possible from the exterior wall into the house. That really is the most sensible solution. So either on the garage wall or the hallway wall. I would recommend the hallway wall and then separate the heating with a wardrobe niche (60cm (24 inches) deep).
Other than that, I like the house. Nice and spacious. However, you should realistically furnish it, because the TV corner won’t work as planned. Also, try furnishing the rather dark kitchen.
Tip: use the exterior wall and add another window there, then a door leading to the utility room (which can replace the pantry exactly where you currently plan to install the heating).

The consumer units run directly from the exterior wall straight into the house. That’s really the most sensible approach. So, on the garage or hallway wall. I would recommend the hallway wall and then enclose the heating system with a 60cm (24 inch) deep wardrobe niche. Yes, true. I somehow only thought halfway ahead 😀
So the wall will be built differently.
Okay, thanks for the tip and your opinion. But I don’t really like the idea of entering the utility room and immediately seeing all the equipment.
I would rather use the garage side for that then.

The TV corner is just sketched in by the architect for now. There won’t be a TV anyway. Probably just a projector at most.
I’m aware of the kitchen and window situation. But the little piece of wall will have the island against it. And at midday, the sun is positioned in a way that the light comes into the kitchen through the dining room window on the side.
I’ll upload a few more pictures in the attachment.
