Hello dear forum members,
we would also like to share our design with you as a reference.

Location is Baden-Württemberg.
But first, the essential key data:
Development Plan / Restrictions
Plot size: 504m² (5415 ft²) - 17.7m x 28.5m (58 ft x 94 ft)
Slope: No
Site occupancy index: 0.4
Floor area ratio:
Building window, building line and boundary: see plan
Edge development: according to Baden-Württemberg regulations (2m (6.5 ft)?)
Number of parking spaces: 2
Number of floors: Max. 2
Roof shape: Almost anything possible
Architectural style: Modern / Classic
Orientation: East / West
Maximum heights / Limits: Ridge height: 6.2m (20 ft); Eaves height: 8.6m (28 ft)
Other requirements
Client Requirements
Style, roof shape, building type: Classic Modern
Basement, floors: Basement not desired; floors 1.5 (knee wall 1.80m (5 ft 11 in))
Number of occupants, age: Currently 2 (36/27), planned 4

Office: family use
Overnight guests per year: Max 1-2
Open architecture

House Design
Planning by:
- Do-it-yourself
What do you especially like? Why?
Open living and dining area
Bedroom facing south, bathroom facing east
Price estimate from architect/planner: Shell construction so far €330,000 (excluding garage), CLT construction method
Personal price limit for house including equipment: €420,000
Preferred heating system: undecided so far
If you have to omit, which details/extras
- can you omit: smart home, 3 bathrooms, basement, sauna, balconies, dormers, etc.
- cannot omit: view to the south / southeast
Why is the design as it is now?
After countless drafts, we have now really fallen in love with this rough concept.
A mix of many examples from various magazines...
What makes it particularly good or bad in your opinion?
The plot offers a great view to the south.
So far the unknown factor is the neighbors’ development. We want to plan so that it does not really matter how they build without restricting us much.
What is the most important/basic question about the floor plan summarized in 130 characters?
Of course, we would like some basic suggestions about the floor plan.
Too small, too large, senselessly planned...
We have tried to create simple structures. We don't need any special frills.
The main living area will be the primary room.
Do you think the children’s room sizes are sufficient? How is the lighting there? The windows were just roughly drawn in. Should / must skylights still be added there?
Before we add all the furniture, we would like to know in advance if the basic planning could work.
We have already placed the little house (still with rotated ridge) on the plot.
We are already looking forward to an engaging discussion and are open to every suggestion.
Best regards,
Matthias
PS: Just noticed I forgot the window in the dressing room; of course, it will be added later.

Somehow I can't match the house elevation with the ground floor plan. Where is the front door located in the elevation? Thanks, as I said I just had a quick look, but I also can’t make sense of the window placements.

NatureSys14 May 2020 15:35In the illustration of the building plot in the opening post, there is a gable on the north side.
In the floor plans, the gables are on the west and east sides?
Something doesn’t quite add up.

Unfortunately, I can hardly move the utility room door downwards because the staircase will be there...
We had the bathroom door placed along the long side before, but somehow the bathroom felt too narrow that way. You don’t have to move it all the way down, but at least a little. Then you would have close to 3m (10 feet) of wardrobe space and wouldn’t ruin the generous entrance area. The narrow feeling in the bathroom only seems that way because you haven’t placed any furniture yet...

Something doesn’t quite match 100%. That’s correct, I had mentioned that this is still an old version.
In the current version, the gable runs from east to west... so it is horizontal in the floor plans for you.
I usually only show you excerpts because I think you prefer it that way.
But of course, I follow the majority, and you will get to see the entire ground floor plan.
I have simultaneously drawn cubes representing buildings on the site plan.
Ours is intended to be the one with the gable line.
The north arrow is located in the garden.
@Alessandro
I moved the bathroom door to the right side and added a toilet. Now there is a large space between the stairs and the bathroom wall, but if I imagine a wardrobe here, the hallway feels quite narrow to me.
PS: I created this floor plan in a 3D program, but unfortunately, it’s not easy to export a 2D version from it. However, I’m working on it!

In the niche next to the guest room, I would suggest an open solution with a continuous bench, a mirror, and a few hooks for guests,
and on the 3m (10 feet) side, a built-in wardrobe for all your jackets, shoes, etc.
If that feels too cramped and you actually have plenty of space, simply reverse it:
built-in wardrobe next to the guest room and on the other side an open area –
possibly with two tall cabinets and a mirror with a bench in the middle.
