Hello, today I had to wait for an hour and only had my notebook with me... so I just doodled a bit.

This is my very first draft of the ground floor, and it probably still has quite a few mistakes.

What I’m curious about is whether there are any major errors here (for example, the staircase?).

North is at the bottom right.

One square represents half a meter (0.5 m / 20 inches).

Major oversight:

Wall thicknesses are completely missing. This reduces the 9.5m (31 feet) to about 8.50–8.70m (28–29 feet), making the design difficult to use or even unusable.

It’s best to get used to taking this into account right from the start.

When initially sketching and creating the room layout, avoid using fixed dimensions.

See, that didn’t hurt at all, using the classic graph paper app like that.

So, now about the floor plan:

It already looks quite decent, basically feasible. Even after subtracting the walls, the layout seems largely workable.

The garage can be shorter (and probably needs to be, especially if built on the property boundary, where there is usually a limit of 9 meters (30 feet), which is generally sufficient anyway).

Kitchen waste is carried through the dining area and over the terrace, then the bin is rolled past the car to the street. That can definitely be optimized.

The staircase exit is unfavorably located at the edge. This wastes hallway space, requires a high knee wall, and it cannot simply be continued into the attic this way.

The bathroom has its window in the shower area (?)

The pantry faces south.

So on one hand, you’ve made a pretty solid first attempt, and on the other hand, there are plenty of mistakes to learn from. Everything will be fine.

Exactly. Actually, you can still work with spatial arrangements without fixed walls and use relationship arrows, but this kind of visual representation is probably more familiar.

As a rule of thumb, walls can be quickly “calculated” as 40 cm (16 inches) for exterior walls, 20 cm (8 inches) for load-bearing interior walls, and 10 cm (4 inches) for non-load-bearing interior walls, which roughly corresponds to reality. Personally, I think fluidly in these construction dimensions, but that is not necessary at this stage and only really makes sense when committing to solid construction.
