We have purchased our building plot and have just received the drawings from our architect.
I wanted to gather some opinions and suggestions. Perhaps you have some ideas or feedback.
We also received another version of the plans with the same layout, but 1 meter (3 feet) shorter in length and 0.5 meter (20 inches) less in depth, although the floor plan remains the same.
We are considering positioning the house angled toward the street and orienting it more toward the south. The zoning plan / building permit allows this.
The stream on the property is piped underground, and building is permitted up to the stream boundary, provided no structural loads are placed over it. A terrace is allowed in that area.

I have now drawn it in a program with the dimensions and furnished it as we imagined.
My question is whether the technical equipment like the heat pump and storage tank can fit into the utility room, or should I use one of the garage rooms for the technical installations?

In my opinion, the bay window in the dining room should be designed so that the dining table can be used exactly in that space; otherwise, it doesn’t look as good. I thought so too and see that it has been implemented in the latest proposal. That already makes a big difference.
Regarding the stove position, I agree with @Climbee. I would rather move the TV.
The layout in the center of the house is very generous in terms of square meters. That’s not a problem if you’re not focused on the budget. But it’s a pity if this spaciousness can’t be translated into quality of living. I find there’s too little creativity here.

I can’t imagine the drainage of the bathroom right above the dining table to be very pleasant. Yes, there should definitely be some pipe there...

I agree: upstairs there is a spacious hallway, yet it doesn’t really bring joy to anyone; and downstairs there is a large open area in front of the dining table, which, in my opinion, does not actually need to be centered. At least I no longer see any traces of the former Scandimerican farmhouse — I hope that’s not only missing from the drawings but has actually been removed.

You will have to try another design. Creating a donut-shaped hole in the middle of the house is hardly feasible.
