Development Plan / Restrictions
Plot size = 600 m² (6458 sq ft)
Number of floors = 2
Roof type = Gable
Client Requirements
2 children’s bedrooms
1 office
1 walk-in closet
1 bedroom
Guest toilet and bathroom
Open-plan kitchen and living area
1 utility room
Double garage with storage area
House Design
Found on the internet
Why is the design like it is now?
Plan currently fits best
Utility room and office swapped due to door leading to garage
Dislike the large hallway on the first floor
The footprint of 9.5 x 9.5 m (31 x 31 ft) should be maintained
Layout should be as simple and cost-effective as possible
No unnecessary features
What is the most important/basic question about the floor plan in 130 characters?
More elegant solutions with less hallway space loss?

You can hear noises everywhere, even in the forest. Whether something is disturbing is another matter. Inside the house, it will definitely be quiet.
Most likely, the neighbor will be more of a disturbance. The nearby road also doesn’t seem very busy.
I recommend visiting a city.

I don’t live in a particularly calm traffic area either, but placing a house so shaded like that definitely needs even more cars and tractors.
We even sleep with the window open. At least you don’t oversleep. Traffic volume increases around 6 a.m., and the first car doors start slamming. It gets quieter after 6 p.m., and there’s not much going on at night. Occasionally someone withdraws money. On Saturday afternoons and Sundays, unless there’s church, it’s quiet. Regarding the interiors, I’m not worried. But if I have sun in the garden or on the terrace but have traffic noise, then I haven’t really gained anything.

Can you build on the entire property with the house? Or are there any building lines or setback limits?
25x20 = 500m² (5380 sq ft) <> 600m² (6460 sq ft) from #1. Don’t you know your plot? As mentioned in #1, there is no development plan. A 3-meter (10 feet) setback from the boundary applies, but the garage may be built on the boundary line.
The difference comes from a narrow strip that leads to the main road but is not useful for building.
As I said, I don’t live in a traffic-calmed area. Over 8,000 vehicles pass by each week, right on the main road, not like you who are a bit further away.
When I’m outside, there is less traffic.
Then I can enjoy the light and air.
You have a terrace that has its advantages on days over 35°C (95°F). On the other 350 days, there is a lack of light. Additionally, a large part of your property is cut into on the east side of the house.
Shift everything to the east and rotate the rooms by at least 90 degrees.

Place the garage next to the neighbor’s and position the house so it gets plenty of sunlight. You can reduce noise with fences and hedges. You will hear the cars anyway, no matter how you position the house. But I can promise you that after a year, you won’t notice it anymore. We have a railway track behind our garden. I don’t even register the commuter trains anymore, and they are definitely louder than a car.
Regarding the office: we don’t have a dedicated room either. We simply placed a wall so we can tuck the desk behind it. It’s basically between the living room and kitchen. That’s more than enough. I would also skip a walk-in closet and instead integrate it with shelving systems and partition walls in the bedroom. That saves space you absolutely need for other things.
Because what you’re constantly overlooking is the lack of storage space. Where will you put all your stuff? The attic takes up quite a bit, but a lot of what you use weekly needs to be downstairs.
Your budget for the house is really tight. You will have to do quite a bit yourself. The additional costs can add up quickly. Just building electricity, connection fees for water, electricity, and internet. The sewage pump. The pipework for rainwater and wastewater. These are all small individual costs, but together suddenly 50,000 euros (about 54,000 USD) can disappear.
