ᐅ Single-family house, 200 m², constructed in an L-shape with a 45° angle

I could understand such a bend if the plot required it – but like this? Useless corners inside the house, higher costs especially due to the roof structure, and a rather unusual exterior. I don’t understand why this angle is desired. Can you explain? Is it just a whim, or are there solid reasons behind it? There are better ways to achieve privacy and noise protection; this awkward bend doesn’t help at all. Is the street heavily trafficked?
Since the plot is quite generous, if the bend must be for whimsical reasons, I’d rather go for a 90° angle so the rooms can be more functional. These slanted walls just waste space and serve no purpose. The most awkward is the wall section in the bedroom that provides access to the second children’s room. That’s really something. It clearly shows that this isn’t the best solution.

Is another child planned? Regarding the third room? I would rather use the office downstairs for guests, so they have access to the guest bathroom. Upstairs they’d share the bathroom with you. Is that intentional?
With three kids, I would also generally consider a second bathroom on the upper floor. They will all become teenagers eventually, and then the only bathroom tends to be constantly occupied...
I hope the bathroom layout is not final either? The partially slanted bathtub serves no purpose. I conclude that the designer has a strong preference for unnecessary slanted walls.

No, I really don’t like this design at all. The exterior views are dreadful as well, sorry.

I agree with Haydee about 90%.
If you’re going to have angles, then 90°. I would be a huge fan immediately!

If you look at it: the office now has the best location in the entire house. A bit exaggerated for a workspace. The kitchen, on the other hand, resembles a storage room facing the street and doesn’t have an inviting connection to the terrace. The rest has already been mentioned.

But I find the design bold and refreshing. It’s not perfect, but it can still improve. Including the basement, though, this will be an expensive project. You should state the budget before we start daydreaming.

What kind of street is it that you build so complicatedly to block noise and views, but still plan two bedrooms facing that direction?
That may be unusual, but personally, I don’t like having to walk through half the house to get to the main living area. The design looks like an extension house.
A rectangular house can also provide separation, but my advice is to place the entrance more centrally rather than at one end of the house. Also, plan for a nice kitchen or at least enough space for a spacious kitchen.
I don’t find the bulky and boxy shape refreshing—the house reminds me of a 1960s apartment building that was converted into a single-family home, with the hallway in the best location, even though it’s mostly unused.

I think you may have gotten a bit lost in your initial thinking about separation, and not paid enough attention to achieving a harmonious appearance.
Apparently, the plot has enough potential to create separation in other ways.

How busy is the street?
