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.

Grundriss-Dachgeschoss: Flur, Elternzimmer, Kind 1, Kind 2, Ankleide, Bad, Treppe.


Grundriss Erdgeschoss mit Innenräumen, Treppenhaus, Küche, Bad, Büro, Garage und Grundstücksgrenze.

By mirrors, I mean more the layout of the rooms. Bathrooms stacked above each other, 1m² (11 ft²) less won’t affect the bathroom. That can definitely be managed.

Changed again....
A second utility room is out of the question.

Any other ideas?

That works.
I would also try to modify the staircase run, then move the door to the WC under the stairs, and shorten the hallway accordingly. The wardrobe would then go next to the door to the office.
