Hello house building forum members,
We look forward to your opinions and comments and will start simply with the list of questions:
Zoning Plan / Restrictions
Plot size: 781 sqm (8,409 sq ft) minus 90 sqm (968 sq ft) for access road (plot is already owned)
Slope: No, at most a very slight incline towards the east
There is no zoning plan or other restrictions
Homeowners’ Requirements
Style, roof shape, building type: Gable roof 45°
Basement, number of floors: no basement, 1.5 floors
Number and age of occupants: 2 people (both 28 years old)
Space requirements on ground and upper floors: see sketches
Office: family use or home office? Often home office
Guests per year: minimal
Open or closed architecture: Open architecture
Conservative or modern construction: modern
Open kitchen, kitchen island: Open kitchen, no kitchen island
Number of dining seats: 6-8 people
Fireplace: If possible, yes
Balcony, roof terrace: Terrace adjacent to dining and living room with option for a conservatory in a few years
Garage, carport: Not necessarily from the start, can be added later
House Design
Planned by whom: Do-it-yourself + inspiration from various model homes
What do you particularly like? Why? Open kitchen, glass front facing garden/terrace
What do you dislike? Why?
Cost estimate according to architect/planner: no offers obtained yet/maybe someone can roughly estimate what costs we should expect
Personal price limit for the house, including fittings: currently being clarified
Preferred heating system: What is recommended nowadays?
If you have to give up, on which details / extras
-can you give up: room sizes in general, house area
-can you not give up: open kitchen
What is the most important/basic question about the floor plan, summarized in 130 characters?
We hope for some suggestions and improvements regarding the layout, orientation, and size of the house that we may have overlooked in the heat of the moment.
We already thank you for your comments and your time 🙂

@Bauherrin2018 .. you are welcome to add a few explanatory words. Not everyone wants to keep scrolling back. Is the upper floor a full story or is there a knee wall, etc.? Site conditions, reasons for changes, and so on.We are currently planning with a knee wall of 1m (3.3 feet).

Is the upper floor a full storey or is there a knee wall, etc.? The upper floor is at risk of being considered a full storey depending on the height of the knee wall. But if you meant a floor with vertical walls in this case: no, it has a gable roof, though the drawing software seems to only depict the slope as an overhang or indication.

Update 🙂I would make the hallway on the ground floor a bit wider – the office and kitchen can accommodate that. The breakfast bar in the kitchen should be twice as large, at least as a work surface… whether you actually sit there is another matter. Overall, the kitchen’s dimensions are somewhat impractical: making it a bit smaller would save a lot of walking between preparation, storage, and cleaning areas 😉
Upstairs, the bathroom will be tight with a door. You could make the bedroom a bit smaller and access it through the dressing room.
I agree with Yvonne. The hallway is too narrow to feel comfortable. A coat closet should also have a place somewhere. The kitchen and office could give up some square meters. I find the bathroom layout terrible. These T-shaped solutions are also a kind of "trend" that hopefully will go out of style soon. They reduce the room size without real added value—but that’s just my opinion.
The sink in the downstairs toilet placed right in the corner is strange. You’re bound to bump your elbows there. I would have put the utility room with the washing machine at the front, and moved the connections and heating to the current technical room in the back. After all, you do laundry much more often than you read the meter. At least most people do. 😉
