Hello experts,
we have finally found a plot of land, and the planning is in its final stages.
What do you think of our floor plan? Any suggestions for improvement?

1. The plot is on a slope, which is why there is a partial basement. We actually never wanted a basement, but it makes sense here because the homeowner really wants a double garage.
2. The plot faces north at the back. The plot is 17m (56 feet) wide (building area 11m (36 feet)) and 42m (138 feet) long (building area at the front 20m (66 feet)). The road is completely on the south side, so a full south-facing orientation is not possible. The building area does not allow it. However, we don't see this as a problem and hope that the many windows will provide enough natural light inside the house.

What do you think?


Basement floor plan V8: Garage with two parking spaces, bike room, utility room, entrance hall, corridor.


Ground floor plan single-family house: Living/dining, kitchen, guest room, corridor, WC, storage room, stairs, terrace.


Attic floor plan: Bedroom, dressing room, bathroom, corridor, two children’s rooms, stairs.

We deliberately installed the window 10cm (4 inches) higher.

@ypg Why is that?

I prefer to have a raised area separate from the countertop for placing herbs, soap, and similar items.

Maybe you can make sense of it?

Regards, Yvonne

Thank you, Yvonne... Yes, by now I can really see it as a practical solution. Especially for herb pots, it can be very useful. And visually, I find the digital design quite attractive... if it is implemented that way.

... and when you need to wipe the countertop (which is the case every day after cooking), all those items that accompany you and your life on the windowsill can remain there. You don’t have to move or remove them or anything like that.

Thanks, ypg.

I think the solution from the kitchen fitter is perfectly fine. And it definitely has its advantages! (Maybe even more so, since you only need the large countertop surface a few times a year, and wiping down the countertop and constantly lifting all the pots then would mean almost daily effort.)

I also think it looks stylish in the picture and believe it has more advantages than disadvantages. What can be seen in the cabinet on the far right, is that a tall dishwasher??
