Development Plan / Restrictions
Plot size: We have two plots and originally wanted to build only on the 529 sqm (5697 sq ft) plot, but this is not sufficient, so we will need to place part of the double garage on the 413 sqm (4445 sq ft) plot. If we want to sell it later, it will need to be remeasured.
Single-story at ground level
Number of parking spaces – 2 -> double garage with storage room, 6 x 9 m (20 x 30 ft)
Number of floors – 2 stories
Roof style – 25° (25°) gable roof
We checked with the local authority – there is no development plan / planning permission applicable to our area
Homeowner requirements
No basement, ground floor plus upper floor with 2 m (6.5 ft) knee wall
Number of occupants and ages: 2 adults, 1 child (about 3 years old at move-in), 1 child planned
House size 168.59 sqm (1815 sq ft), prefabricated timber frame house with a bay window in the living area
Kitchen open plan with island and small bar
Heating system:
Air-to-water heat pump with controlled ventilation
This is the first draft from our architect. What could be done differently? The guest toilet is poorly positioned. The floor plan on the upper floor is acceptable for the moment.
We welcome tips and ideas for the ground floor.

Even with shelving systems of 40cm (16 inches) each, it will be more of a walk-in closet than a dressing room where you can actually turn around. Also, there is no natural light at all... I don’t find that very practical. Better to skip it and integrate the closet into the bedroom.
The hallway is too long and winding... I would probably move the stairs closer to the entrance (about 65cm (26 inches)), put the toilet on the stair side directly next to the entrance wall, then a utility/technical room (HAR), then the stairs, then the laundry/utility room (although that might get a bit tight). The bathroom upstairs will be smaller, but that’s not a problem with a sensible layout. I would align the upstairs bathroom wall with the bedroom wall (that’s exactly the ~65cm (26 inches)), make the children’s room correspondingly larger, make the dressing room smaller with access from the hallway – add a roof window, with closets on the right and left. You do have a wardrobe in the bedroom anyway. You get the idea? Otherwise I can sketch it for you later...Good tips! Thanks!
So the idea for downstairs is great.
But could you sketch it briefly?
Upstairs, I would keep the dressing room as just a walk-in closet without any window or so.
Access from the bedroom as well.
The laundry/utility room needs to be at least 9sqm (97 sq ft) (even if separate)...
I also forgot to mention that the laundry/utility room currently has no door to the garage, so that still needs to be considered ☺️
Thanks for your help!

toxicmolotof9 May 2015 18:16I don’t just dislike the hallway; I’m unhappy with the entire position of the property on the plot.
Is there any ABSOLUTE reason why the house is positioned so awkwardly on the plot? I would rotate the entire house counterclockwise by about 25-30° (25-30 degrees). That would also solve the problem with the garage.
I would like to check the pulse of the building official who insists on this location. This cannot seriously be intended.

Already a good idea for this floor plan... However, not placing the bay window centrally would not look as nice from the outside. And the kitchen should be designed so that we can fit an island with a breakfast bar underneath.
No, there is no mandatory reason for this location. You’re right, we will probably rotate it.

From the outside, the bay window does not look like a bay window. The roof extends along the entire length for sun protection and as a canopy. This is the direct south side.
Your original design doesn’t have a counter either... or is that this completely out-of-place square!?
