Hello, we are now ready to build with our house provider (a construction company from our region / Cloppenburg).
The plan includes a gable roof with two small bay windows (not yet shown in the ground floor layout) and a knee wall height of 150 cm (59 inches) with a roof pitch of 25 degrees, which meets the requirements for a single-story construction in Lower Saxony.
As special features, we have KfW 70 with F#bh, controlled residential ventilation with heat recovery, and smaller requests like colored windows, a 3 m (10 feet) sliding door in the dining area (not yet shown), and for example, a larger Velux window in the upper floor hallway.
The heating system (gas condensing boiler) will be relocated to the utility room on the upper floor, which will still be large enough for us since it will only be used for vacuum cleaner, mop, etc. storage.
The walk-in closet should be a separate room because we both work in shifts and get up at different times.
We don’t really need an office; it will more likely be used for guests and as storage space for folders and such.
So… that’s our current starting point. The plot faces south, so the entire living area is oriented in that direction.
We would appreciate any feedback or if you have any suggestions or ideas for changes… maybe we have overlooked something…
Thank you very much!

Exactly, WRL is being installed ... would that be sufficient for ventilation? A dryer releases a lot of moisture ...What do you mean by this combination of statements?
Do you know or not that an exhaust dryer (clothes dryer) does not work with controlled mechanical ventilation? Of course, a ventilation system can handle your emissions!
You need a condenser or heat pump dryer... water collects in a container or drains away, and the waste heat is released into the room... you can then use this heat with controlled residential ventilation if you install an exhaust vent in the storage room (which would make sense)... then everything works fine...
...although I wouldn’t want a dryer or washing machine near my sleeping area...
as ypg said, vented dryers won’t work...

Hello, here is an update: we have raised the knee wall to 165cm (65 inches) to create a greater sense of space at the top. So far, we are happy with the floor plan… at least, we can’t think of anything else we want to change.
Here are the revised drawings again. We have added a utility room at the bottom (we like having everything behind a door), which can also be used for storing small items. We are still somewhat dissatisfied with the bathroom; we really like the walk-in shower, but we think it might be wasting a lot of space. Does anyone have any ideas about this or in general?

I would eliminate the open space on the upper floor and place the distribution chamber there. That way, the bathroom will be larger. Or, if you want to keep the open space, then anything that needs to be stored should be integrated into the walk-in closet. However, I don’t find the walk-in closet in the nice bay window very successful.
Other than that, it looks nice.
We will also have a wall with an open passage between the utility room and the technical room.
Good luck
