Other wishes, special features, daily routine, including reasons for preferences or restrictions:
- Dormer or cat-slide dormer facing south on the upper floor
- Stairs should be easy to walk, not too many triangular steps
- The lower study should also be usable as a bedroom for aging-in-place on one level
- Ground floor bathroom should accommodate a washing machine for this reason
- The house will get a KNX smart home installation, so an electrical riser shaft should be planned
- Laundry chute with access doors from both bathrooms
- Terrace should be raised at the front
- Single garage at least 3.5 x 7 m (11.5 x 23 ft)
- Rainwater cistern for garden irrigation
House Design
Who designed it: planner from a construction company / own drawings
What is liked: overall layout is fine, all desired spaces included
What is disliked?
- Front door too close to the garage
- Garage location due to development plan, we would prefer it moved further back
- Ground floor: entrance area / stairs / hallway / technical riser interaction
Estimated price by architect/planner: not clear yet
Personal price limit for the house, including equipment: 450k
Preferred heating system: hot water heat pump and photovoltaic on the roof
If you had to give up something, which details or additions

Various plans from developers and own ideas
What is your most important / basic question about the floor plan in 130 characters?
- Any additional comments on the plan?
- Suggestions to improve the entrance area on the ground floor: hall/stairs/technical riser and bathroom?
- Other improvement suggestions?

Yes, according to the development plan you can build up to 100% over the limit here. However, the terrace would then count towards the floor area ratio. But not the garage and driveway?See below.

We actually wanted a closed kitchen to keep odors and noises containedOdors and aromas pass through doors. Do you cook so badly that it smells?

The garage is a bit taller so the VW bus we don’t have yet can fit inside But that’s not allowed.

Sorry, I checked again. You are allowed to overbuild by 50%, which results in a factor of 0.45, equaling 164m² (1765 sq ft).Yes, I reconsidered the 100% I mentioned before... 50% makes more sense.
Nonetheless, the terrace is in the border area…
Who is your advisor? Where is the architect?
I admit you want to experiment, but with such tight constraints, you can’t avoid consulting a professional!
The building setback requirement seems excessive to me. What is the reason for the unequal treatment compared to the northern neighbor? Why do you have to build farther away from the street, accept a longer driveway, more front yard but consequently less west-facing garden?
The masonry conduit with the maintenance hatch is something you would expect more in an architect-designed house, if at all. The attic has no access.
Could you give some insight into the development of the design from version 1 to version 7?

I think the original development plan might be relevant here We don’t even know if the garage window is just a suggestion or a requirement!

We originally wanted a closed kitchen to avoid smells and noises in the living room. Dan A mechanical ventilation system with heat recovery and a range hood are usually sufficient to handle odors. Dishwashers and refrigerators nowadays are very quiet. My husband often opens the running dishwasher without realizing it is on. Otherwise, I’m not sure what noises you mean.

Even at the risk of being wrong again: Partly yes, partly no. The floor area ratio (FAR) is definitely exceeded, even if the terrace is incorrectly counted as an ancillary structure. However, the stated lot size is not accurate either, since the official land register area (cadastre or land book) does not include decimal places.
Floor plan I = 10m * 11m + 7m * 3.5m = 134.50m² (1,448 sq ft)
Floor plan II = FAR I + garage + driveway = 134.50m² (1,448 sq ft) + 22.44m² (242 sq ft) + 37.70m² (406 sq ft) = 194.64m² (2,096 sq ft)
FAR I = 134.50 / 365 = 0.37 allowed 0.3
FAR II = 194.64 / 365 = 0.53 allowed 0.45
An uncovered terrace does not trigger setback requirements.
The T6 is just under 2 meters (6.6 feet) tall, unless you build something on top.
Kitchen
Remove the small pantry. It also fits inside a cabinet. I’m a fan of open kitchens. For me, they only have advantages.
Controlled ventilation and a modern range hood help with odors.
You don’t hear the noise from refrigerators and dishwashers anymore.

The kitchen can be both open and closed.
