Hello.
We are a small family with a 2-year-old child and another baby on the way. We have already purchased a plot of land and have now planned a floor plan that we want to submit for approval. Before that, we would appreciate hearing some opinions.
We want a house that still offers enough space in case we have a third child. In the basement, we would like to install a sauna later on. To ensure enough space, we decided to have the garage built with a basement (to minimize sealed surfaces) and to add a nice room above it. A garden is very important to us, so we would be reluctant to add any extensions later due to the additional built-up area.

Plot size: 700 sqm (7,535 sq ft)

Hello Wild Thing,
We are revisiting the first floor plan with one less room, so that the bathroom and bedroom can be larger.
We will probably also add a door to the kitchen from the hallway and remove the pantry.
We are also considering moving the staircase 60cm (24 inches) east, reducing the bathroom on the ground floor accordingly, and thereby enlarging the bedroom again.
Are there any other suggestions for rearranging the rooms on the ground floor?
