Good morning everyone,
I spent last weekend working on our first floor plan.
Development plan / restrictions
Plot size: 502 m² (5400 sq ft)
Terrace orientation: South / West, main entrance facing North / East
Building envelope, building line and boundary: 3 m (10 ft) setback, details in the attachment. The garage is allowed as a boundary construction; it still needs to be clarified whether building directly on the northern boundary is permitted.
Homeowner requirements
Pitched roof
2 full stories
Number of occupants: 2 adults + 1 child (another child planned)
Office: just a desk in the guest room for personal organizational tasks
Annual overnight guests: 6
Living area: 175 m² (1880 sq ft)
Open, cubic design
Modern style, bright rooms
No fireplace
Masonry double garage with adjacent utility room
No basement
House design
Planner:
- myself
Points we are not yet satisfied with:
- Entrance area possibly too small, hardly any space for shoes or wardrobe
--> maybe omit the shower in the guest bathroom to make room for the wardrobe? Although that would be a pity
- Utility room possibly too small? It should accommodate a washing machine, dryer, vacuum cleaner, ironing board, etc.
I would appreciate your opinions or ideas.
Thank you very much in advance.
Best regards
Alex

Thank you all in advance for your feedback.
The roof terrace will probably be dropped from the plans since we want to build the garage right on the property boundary.
The lot is approximately 22.50 m (74 feet) wide and 23 m (75 feet) deep.
The point about the north-facing direction is indeed a good tip; we definitely need to give that some serious thought. Currently, we live with a south-facing terrace, and during the summer temperatures, it becomes unbearable outside, so sometimes we prefer to stay indoors...
It would be great if you could share your floor plan with a north-facing terrace here, Kisska 🙂
