House Design
Who Designed it: Architect from a construction company
What Do You Like Most? Why? Side driveway to garage, direct access from garage to house, separate apartment concept, open ground floor design, upper floor is perfect in our opinion, gallery
What Do You Like Least? Why? Living/dining area is somewhat too large (wife worries it may be hard to arrange cozily), bedroom window position in the separate apartment is tricky, (north entrance → long access route for guests)
Preferred Heating System: Air-to-water heat pump + photovoltaic system + battery storage

If You Have to Cut Back, On Which Details / Extensions
- Can be cut: Office on upper floor, a few square meters in living/dining area
- Cannot be cut: Remaining room program

Why Has the Design Turned Out As It Is Now?
The room program was provided by us. Furthermore, many requirements and the plot itself influenced the design.
Why Was the Drawing Created in Sweet Home 3D?
The architect’s design is drawn to scale but not dimensioned, so I transferred it to SH3D.

I can’t really complain so spontaneously [emoji2]
You shouldn’t arbitrarily tear apart a good design.

I would add another window in the living room on the west side and use the corner of the walk-in closet to create a laundry chute accessible from the hallway. Organize the rest on the ground floor and basement accordingly.

On the ground floor, consider swapping the utility room and the WC.

No, we want the utility room to be directly adjacent to the kitchen/living area.

Thank you.
I don’t understand the laundry chute part. We had planned it to go from the bathroom on the upper floor and ground floor down to the utility room in the basement.
