Hello everyone,
I am new to this forum and very impressed by the helpfulness!
We have reserved a plot of land and are now considering how to use it effectively. At least the zoning plan meets our expectations, but we are still unsure how to position the garage and the house on the property.
I have attached a suitable image. North is at the top, and the main entrance should be located there as well. The numbers indicate the width and length. Unit – meters (feet).
If I place the garage next to the house, the driveway is relatively long. Do you have any other suggestions?
Thank you very much for your support!

The basement has shifted again, hasn’t it?
Will there be an external entrance? Otherwise, this is a typical photo of a standard drawing without any dimensions. It’s impossible to tell whether the furniture is shown to scale or not. I would reconsider whether this furniture layout is ideal: I find the bathroom to be a small disaster. It is equipped with outdated sanitary fixtures, and I doubt the bathtub is a comfortable 89cm (35 inches) wide. The shower in the small bathroom: how large is it supposed to be?
In a design, measurements are very important. Only with them can you definitively tell whether the width of a room is sufficient or if the length of a wall can accommodate the intended furniture. Changes are also difficult to apply to an undimensioned plan.
Have you already spoken with this home builder? When working with the builder, you don’t get a catalog picture but a surveyed floor plan with a site plan.

I guess I was a bit too quick again. Plans without dimensions don’t really help...
Here is a new plan with measurements.
Could you please take another look? That would be great!
I think a straight staircase simply takes up a lot of space!?
Many thanks for your feedback!

You are planning approximately 1050 cm (410 inches) in length for the dining area and kitchen, while the kitchen itself has just under 3 meters (10 feet) in width. Even without furniture, it is clear that the proportions are off: the width is difficult to furnish, and there is too much wasted space along the length, including in the area near the living room entrance.
The kitchen door does not allow for practical furnishing. The dimensions for the wardrobe would also be interesting.

These are different plans again compared to post 23. Try furnishing them; some doors are placed in very impractical locations, limiting many furnishing options.
How long is the staircase? Number of risers/tread depth? What is the floor-to-floor height (not ceiling height) that needs to be overcome?
Unfortunately, I don’t like the bathroom on the upper floor at all. You enter into a dark, cramped space.
Also, important dimensions or furnishing ideas for evaluation are missing, for example for the master bedroom.

skybiker200028 May 2016 20:20Hello everyone,
we have now returned to Yvonne’s original design.
In the floor plans, only the entrance on the north side remains. However, we want to move it back to the east. We might sacrifice the pantry to create a larger hallway.
What are your thoughts on the following floor plans?
Thanks in advance for your feedback!
Regarding the garage:
I’ve been thinking about including a passage between the house and the garage. A distance of about 1.5 m (5 feet) should be feasible. Would you recommend doing this?
