Hello dear community,
First of all, a big thank you from me as well! You provide helpful information in so many areas that is simply invaluable.
We are in the final planning stages, and your opinion would be very important to us!
Apologies if I haven't included all necessary or important details. Please feel free to ask if anything is missing. Otherwise, we look forward to your feedback.
Details and our wishes:
- No basement
- Street side faces east
- Our garden is on the west side
- We want the children’s rooms to face the garden
- Washing machine and dryer on the upper floor
- Double garage 6 x 6 m (20 x 20 ft) attached directly to the house
- Side entrance to the house
- Optional kitchen in L-shape (but then the kitchen would face the street, and the office would face the garden)
- And stair landing! However, we were not able to create a good room layout combined with the side entrance
- Ground floor height 3 m (10 ft)
- Upper floor height 2.8 m (9 ft)
- A 3 m (10 ft) glass sliding element with the red line will be installed facing the kitchen
I hope I didn’t forget anything important. Thanks in advance for your feedback.

I always find it interesting how briefly these areas are answered. Is your planner this concise as well? After all, it’s about your house! Every question deserves attention…
So, what now? Is there a development plan or not?
Is it really the case that only your exact wishes are allowed?
Do you have a site plan? The garden is basically wherever nothing has been built…
What is the red rectangle supposed to represent?
Regarding the house:
I think there are too few or too small windows in proportion to the walls.
The square meters in the hallway at the front door are wasted space. The stairs go down, then you run into a wall. The coat closet for four people is too small. The hallway feels dark for its length.
The door to the living area seems insignificant. The stairs don’t do the house any favors.
I would move the garage, that is the red rectangle, further back, place a deep window next to the front door, and possibly angle the stairs.
Swap the kitchen and office. Swap the pantry and the bathroom.
Open up the hallway into the living area without a wall in between. Make everything a bit more open.
Upstairs, I would give up the first few square meters in the utility room off the hallway. This creates openness with a window. In my opinion, the bedroom layout doesn’t work at all: move the dressing room forward and create a cozy corner for the bed. The children’s rooms are a bit large, but there’s space if you don’t completely overhaul the floor plan. Thank you for your constructive suggestions!
