Hello everyone,
Finally, my floor plans are ready. Only our basement living area is missing, but I still need some information from the architect. The plan includes a laundry room, the heating room, a storage room, an office, and a large hobby room with a bathroom and a small kitchenette.
Attached is the site plan. It was provided by our architect and has been approved by the building authority regarding setback distances and parking spaces. I only added privacy fences and a garden shed. The positions are based on local neighborhood regulations. To the north, there is a garden plot (not buildable), to the east another new building is being constructed, to the south is the street (30 km/h (18.6 mph) zone) and across from it a house with a garden. To the west, directly adjacent to our property, there is a driveway and a garage, with another house next to it.
I’m trying to provide as much information as possible:
Development plan / restrictions
Plot size: 412.5 sqm (4,440 sq ft)
Slope: no
Site coverage ratio: 0.25
Floor area ratio: 0.50
Number of parking spaces: 2 free parking spaces
Number of stories: 2 floors (attic counts as 2nd floor due to knee wall) + basement living area
Roof type: gable roof, 25 degrees, knee wall 160 cm (63 inches)
Client requirements
Number of people: 2 adults (eventually + 2 children), ages 28 and 34
Office: home office in the basement living area
Kitchen: closed kitchen with a kitchen island pushed against the wall
Number of dining seats: 4, extendable to 6
Fireplace: no
Additional wishes
- The garden should be completely shielded from views (hence the privacy fence)
- We did not plan any garages, as we never had one and have never missed it. For strollers, garden furniture, etc., I have planned a garden shed, which also serves as a privacy screen
- We want a closed kitchen, no open kitchen. We don’t like that look.
- On the ground floor, we need a small niche for the vacuum cleaner, ironing board, water crates, etc.
- A walk-in closet is a must
- As well as a walk-in, built-in shower
I’m really looking forward to your opinions!

I briefly thought that many "problems" would be solved if we only planned for one child’s room... but I am an only child myself and always wished for siblings... hmm

However, you can see that the sample floor plan (which is probably a better description) takes many of these issues into account, unlike what you’ve made worse.
Unfortunately, Robson was quicker than me, but you’ll quickly forget about locking the door. We have door closers (instead of keys) on the bathrooms. My children are 1 and 3 years old. And the flathead screwdriver is right on the shelf next to the bathroom door.
I’ve learned since childhood that when you enter the bathroom, you lock the door, and under no circumstances does anyone else come in.

You’re causing all this fuss just to get that niche, and, honestly, you’re ruining everything because of it.
Let’s be honest, the sample design (which the architect probably didn’t have any part in) fits everything except for this storage spot.
You’re building with a basement, and in such a small house it’s naturally difficult to fit everything in. But you can create a tall cabinet in the kitchen for household items, where cleaning supplies and the vacuum cleaner can go. And for the drinks, your partner will just have to jump and bring them up from the basement.
