ᐅ Towel-shaped plot facing south with a 17m frontage – ideas and feedback?

Hello, I have an appointment with our architect tomorrow. This is the type of house we have in mind. I would be very grateful for any suggestions or comments.

Requirements:
- "Towel-shaped" plot facing south, approximately 17m (55.8 feet) frontage
- 2 full stories with a gable roof, no basement
- Probably KfW40 standard
- House for 5 people, 2 carports, one garage as a basement alternative, “winter garden” or many south-facing windows, wood stove
- Sufficient space
- When the children have moved out, a separate living unit should be possible upstairs (see picture “OG später”)
- Ground floor barrier-free / age-appropriate
- Compact building with clean lines and symmetry, few or no angles, arches, bay windows, etc.

In the sketches, the ground floor measures 13 x 11 m (42.7 x 36.1 feet) externally, the upper floor measures 11 x 11 m (36.1 x 36.1 feet). The top (north) side faces the street, the bottom (south) side the garden. Light blue indicates carports, brown shows the garage covering and extended living room roof.

Take your list with you and leave the drawings at home – an architect can handle those better 🙂

I fully agree. Leave the plan at home and leave it to a professional.
