Hello dear community,
this year we plan to start building a new single-family house in the style of an urban villa and would appreciate your opinions on the floor plan. Basically, we already like the current plan as it is. The only issue is that the walk-in closet on the upper floor feels a bit tight, so we are considering either reducing the size of the bedroom slightly or removing the door towards the bathroom, or perhaps integrating it into the wardrobe wall.
First, the questionnaire, as far as I was able to answer it:
Development plan / restrictions
Plot size: 586 sqm (6,307 sq ft)
Slope: yes (unfortunately), see plan. We plan to level the plot down to street level and support the rear with a retaining wall.
Building envelope, building line and boundary: all within limits
Edge development: garage with possible roof terrace
Number of floors: 2 full floors
Roof style: hipped roof
Architectural style: urban villa
Orientation: garden facing north
Homeowner requirements
Style, roof shape, building type: as stated above
Basement, floors: no basement (cost decision)
Number of occupants, age: 2 adults, planned future: 2 children
Space requirements on ground and upper floors: spacious living-dining-kitchen area desired. Office on the upper floor only for private/hobby use
Guests per year: mostly for emergencies
Open kitchen, cooking island: as planned
Fireplace: as planned
Music / sound system wall: no
Balcony, roof terrace: roof terrace on garage, balcony as drawn
Garage: as planned
House design
Who designed the plan:
- planner/architect from a construction company
What do you particularly like? > open living/dining area with large window front facing the garden
What don’t you like? > cramped walk-in closet and utility room
Price estimate according to architect/planner: fixed price 330,000 (garage included in site development costs)
Preferred heating technology: geothermal heat pump already included in the price
Why is the design the way it is? For example:
A mix of many examples, site visits, our own ideas, and the architect’s planning.
I look forward to your thoughts on the project.
Best regards,
Kai :-)

I am already thinking about how we would like to redesign certain things, preferably the entire upper floor.There is a lot of potential to simplify the layout by starting with the upper floor.https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

It’s hard to believe that the transmission of ideas between two original posters would work almost like a fax machine; in all the major flaws, the designs are basically identical twins. And all this within such a short time delay. Is there something in the air – chemtrails? They are indeed two different plots of land!
However, you can also “copy” unsuitable (miserable) floor plans.

The internal staircase, or rather the small landing upstairs, is a dark "hole." Narrow and dark, no one really wants to go through there.
Currently, I don’t see any daylight factor.

I don’t understand why so many floor plans want to have the entrance area open directly to the living area.
This creates a long axis from the entrance through the dining area all the way to the terrace. I find this less cozy for the living spaces.
