ᐅ The layout is finalized. What are your thoughts?

I would swap the carport with the garage...
And the laundry chute needs to be relocated, more centrally and not in front of a door. In the current location, hardly any laundry is generated.

We also considered this idea, but it should be an enclosed space in front of the side entrance. Unfortunately, we don’t know where else the chute could be located so that the laundry ends up properly in the utility room.

And that’s where it should be located, otherwise you would have to carry the laundry through the house again. But if anyone has an idea, feel free to share it.

Who says that?

Are you sure you want to exclude the fireplace from the living area (couch)?

Now, regarding the laundry chute: place the fireplace on the exterior wall between the dining and living areas, and put the laundry chute where the chimney flue is now, of course accessible from the hallway (for the ladies ). Move the door to the storage room slightly to the right according to the plan.

Personally, I would set the house further back, since large windows facing south and west let more heat into the house. Windows have nothing to do with the terrace, just saying.
Having the entrance in the southeast and living spaces in the west area can easily be arranged on the plot with a shaded terrace in the northwest.

We also considered this fireplace position. However, since it is a water-heated fireplace, a wall is needed to allow pipes and other connections to come out without being visible. If you place it against an exterior wall, unfortunately, the option for a possible room division is lost.

Moving the house further back from the street is difficult. On the one hand, green space would be lost, and on the other hand, more paving would be required, which is not allowed within the maximum buildable area.

It should, it must, there is no other way... I don’t understand your arguments throughout this entire thread (not just with me).
You want advice but insist on the original idea. You don’t allow for anything else: so it will just be a utility room without a window, a laundry chute that no one uses, and a door that can’t be used.
