ᐅ Suggestion for the Room Layout on the Ground Floor of a New Single-Family House

Hello

I’m new here and really like this forum. I’ve already read and browsed a lot!

Regarding our project, we are planning a single-family house with a garage, no basement. We have now received a floor plan variant from the builder.

What we’re not completely happy with is the somewhat small kitchen (and the pantry could be about 50cm (20 inches) wider). We want to include a small seating area in the kitchen. Also, if possible, the kitchen should be separate/closed off. This would naturally result in a very large combined dining and living room.

Does anyone perhaps have ideas on how to organize the layout differently? We are currently considering extending the house by about 1 meter (3 feet) on the kitchen side, but sometimes someone has a different suggestion!

I am thankful for any tips!

Ground floor plan: garage with space for two cars, living/dining, kitchen, pantry, hallway, utility room, toilet.

always build according to the furniture you have
Well, when you build a house, it is generally assumed that you will acquire more furniture over the coming years. If you followed your logic, all houses would be much smaller, and people would regret it five years later.

Perhaps integrate the pantry into the garage with a door leading into the garage?

So, the changes have been made. Now we are waiting for the cost estimate for the shell construction. Let’s see what comes of it!

So, a few updates:

The plan is finalized, and we have received quotes for the shell construction as well as for the windows and doors!

And what price range do your quotes fall into?
