Hello everyone,
We are planning to start building our single-family home next year. Currently, we are working on the floor plan, have tried several versions, and are quite satisfied with what we have so far.
I would appreciate it if you could share your opinions and feedback on the floor plan.

Development plan / restrictions:

Plot size: 445 sqm (4789 sq ft)
Slope: no
Site coverage ratio: 0.35
Floor area ratio: 0.7
Number of parking spaces: 2
Number of floors: 2 full stories plus attic conversion later
Roof style: gable roof
Maximum height: eaves height 6.5 m (21 ft 4 in) on the street side
Heating: geothermal
Personal budget limit: 400,000

Client requirements:

No basement
Number of occupants: 2 adults and 3 children
Open kitchen with sliding door
Double garage

The attic will initially be used instead of a basement.
It will also house the heating system and utility room with washing machine and dryer.
Since our family plan is not yet final, an additional children's room could be added in the attic in the future.

He definitely wants to have the double garage and the staircase with a landing.

I would also like my builder to convert one of his cows from producing milk to producing chocolate milk. He advised me not to make fulfilling this wish a condition for my happiness.

It is very difficult to realize our ideas on this plot of land and with the given restrictions.

Exactly: it is basically just difficult. It only becomes unsolvable if additional requirements are piled on.

We would like to have the kitchen on the west side, since the outdoor kitchen will be in the west garden, so I don’t have to go through the entire living area to get there.

But then please make sure there is access to the terrace!

Your house has no direct connection to the west side. According to your husband’s plans, you have to go from the kitchen through half of the house into the living room to get outside.
Or through the garage.
Half of your garden is separated from the house just because gabions obstruct the view there.
The only opening is a kitchen window...

There is a door from the kitchen to the west terrace, located between the kitchen and the dining area.

Take the kitchen design from the architect. Instead of a U-shape, create a peninsula, ensuring a 1.2-meter (4 feet) ergonomic clearance between the work areas.
Instead of a window on the west wall, install a patio door.
It doesn't get more direct or shorter than that.
You go straight from the outdoor kitchen into your indoor kitchen.

At some point, I stopped reading every word your husband wrote here... but I’m also no longer interested in “new” designs that all look the same at first glance, so I’m not familiar with this particular plan. However, I thought I saw an architect’s design where the living room is not used as a passage room and where there is also an exit option from the kitchen...

What always confuses me is this 160m² (1,722 sq ft) or now even 175m² (1,884 sq ft) limit. What kind of restriction is this supposed to be? Who sets it? The bank? The main contractor? Grandma?

Maybe the budget works out if you buy a prefab garage for 10,000 and then build three floors?
