Hello everyone,
firstly, to the questions:

Plot size: 545 m² (approximately 0.13 acres)
Slope: No
Building type: Single-family house with double garage
Site coverage ratio: 0.3
Edge development: No
Parking spaces: None except in the driveway
Number of floors: 1 full floor, 1 attic floor, 10 m x 12 m (33 ft x 39 ft)
Building boundary: 3 m (10 ft) all around, except for the garage
Orientation: South
Maximum wall heights: 4.6 m (15 ft)
Owners’ Requirements
Style, roof type, building type: Single-family house with wooden frame construction, gable roof with 42° pitch
Basement, floors: 1 full floor, no basement
Number of occupants, ages: 5 persons (49, 37), 3 children (8, 5, 0)
Room requirements on ground floor, upper floor:
Ground floor: kitchen-living room, pantry, living room, office, utility room, guest toilet
Upper floor: master bedroom, 3 children’s rooms, bathroom, toilet
Office: for family use but with a sofa bed for guests
Guests staying overnight: 2-4 per year
Conservative or modern style: modern open kitchen, kitchen island with stove and sink on the island
Number of dining seats: 6-8, extendable table
Fireplace: yes
Music/stereo wall: no
Balcony: no
Terrace: yes, in front of kitchen-living room and living room, along the entire south side
Garage: large double garage with 50 m² (540 sq ft)
Utility garden: on the west side
Rainwater tank: yes
Other requests / special features, including reasons why certain things should or shouldn’t be included:
Mudroom absolutely necessary; the garage door should have a regular door integrated into the rolling gate. We definitely want a separated living area. The living room should be closed off.
On the attic floor, there will be three roof windows and a skylight strip above the shower. A double casement window will be installed in the hallway, one in the toilet, and one in the bathroom.
The area in the upper floor is stated without deducting the roof slope. We will have a knee wall of about 1 m (3 ft).
The bay window will also serve as the dormer.
House Design
Who designed it: Ourselves
What do you particularly like? So far, everything
What don’t you like? Living room a bit small, master bedroom too large
Personal budget limit for house including fittings: 550,000 EUR
Preferred heating system: air heat pump and photovoltaic system with battery storage
If you have to give up on any details/finishes:
-can give up: office
-can’t give up: mudroom
We have an appointment with a timber construction company next week, so I’m not sure yet what is possible and what is not. The designs are ours and have been carefully considered for several years now.
I am very curious about your feedback.
Thank you in advance.
Good luck

I didn’t know you had to have a degree in architecture before posting a plan here. Well, typically we discuss architects’ designs here, not the amateur drafts from homeowners. That’s why we’re curious to see your plan when it comes from a professional.

We most often discuss the designs created by the clients; the architects' designs only rank third in frequency, behind those of the draftsmen.Off-topic: I think most of the designs are from draftsmen. My impression might also come from the fact that I now ignore most of the overly speculative scribbles.G

Off-topic: Even a draftsman can produce good plans, while architects sometimes come up with rather impractical ideas...^^
