The plan is as follows:
9,000 m² (2.2 acres) plot of land (already purchased)
Approx. 165–190 m² (1,775–2,045 sq ft) living space
Approx. 80 m² (860 sq ft) single garage
Heat pump with underfloor, ceiling, and wall heating (optional)
Ventilation system
All windows with blinds, plus an additional mesh for darkening
Planned budget is open
Photovoltaic system with approx. 15 kWp
Contractors will be involved, but with some owner participation (construction time therefore about 3 years)
Both staircases lead to the upper floor, but this will not be finished.
The staircase inside the house leads only to a small hallway. No other rooms.
The garage staircase leads to the technical room.
All paths/passages inside the house have a minimum width of 1.20 m (4 ft)
I created the drawing myself, so the measurements are not 100% accurate.
A professional planner will finalize the plans later.
I didn’t want to spend too much time learning the software.

For the size of the garden, I would immediately enlarge the garage or build an outbuilding.
You accumulate quite a lot of equipment. A small tractor is a must...
It’s a special floor plan. I would be bothered by the bathroom that is shared between mother and child.
Definitely not a standard design. Please keep us updated.

It’s quite comfortable 🙂
First, it stays frost-free and you can work there comfortably...
You don’t really need it (like many things). There has never been frost in my garage either.

Because you have 300m² (3,229 sq ft) of floor area. That requires a lot of earthworks and roof surface; you could just as well build two separate single-family houses. That’s probably true.

A carpenter-made area is usually only common in the higher-end segment: That’s correct as well.

Apart from that, things you build but don’t need cost money unnecessarily, for example, stairs—and even two of them. The staircase inside the house is for going upstairs.
Maybe a small office or something similar will be there later:
Doing it later would probably create a lot of mess.
The staircase in the garage is not decided yet. The opening will definitely be included.

According to the drawing, the garage is within the thermal envelope. That means the garage door must be insulated and airtight. I’m sure such a garage door exists somewhere in the world, but not as an off-the-shelf solution. People usually build that themselves... I don’t see what the problem is. How do you build a garage, from OSB boards?
Seriously.
If I take the garage out of the thermal envelope, what have I achieved?
The costs stay the same. Facing bricks, interior wall, foundation... all still necessary.
The only way to save costs with the thermal envelope would be to omit insulation. But I think that’s negligible given the build price.
The interior walls of the garage facing the living space have to be insulated anyway, that’s clear.
If there is moisture in winter, ventilation will be used.

Overall, for the garage we can assume costs similar to living space, about 2000€/m² (186.00 USD/sq ft). Living space in a bungalow is probably a bit more expensive, let’s say 2500€. That totals around 580,000€ (approx. 540,000 USD) just for the building. Surely k I never said anything against that.

Roof type?
Roof pitch?
Site plan?
Slope?
Connections?
Terrace? Covered?
34er?
Development plan?
Surrounding buildings?
Budget?
A bungalow is more efficient and surely more practical. Hipped roof, with 40-45 degrees (40-45°) pitch. Yes, not necessary.
I need to upload it sometime.
No.
We only have electricity, which will be routed accordingly. It will be expensive anyway since the house will stand about 40m (130 ft) away from the street.
No. No.
34er—I don’t know what you mean by that.
No. Exterior area, a building permit / planning permission must be applied for.
Not really, only about 1 km (0.6 miles) away.
Open.
Yes, definitely 🙂
Regarding the building permit / planning permission:
I have already discussed the serious draft with the building authority and I can assume that I will be allowed to build as planned.
There may be changes, but I’ll have to see.
When the architect has completed everything, I will present it again and take another look.

Part of the meadow is mowed by the farmer.
The garden is only supposed to be around 1000 m² (about 10,764 sq ft).

I hope it's clear.
