1. Draft - Request for feedback (Single-family house, 2 full floors without basement)

Hello,

attached is the first draft. We actually like the draft quite a bit. But we are grateful for any comments. Building without a basement. What still gives us some concerns:
- Entrance area
- Heating in the extension, is that problematic?

We have slightly changed the first sketch. You can see the changed version. The house should have the following dimensions: 9.5m x 11.5m
The garage will be moved further down so that there is space for 2 cars.
A double garage is not possible because otherwise we would block the entrance.
But we could also live well with a garage-carport combination.
Attached are the floor plans as well as the building area including orientation.

Looking forward to feedback.

Hello,

have you ever thought about how you could place a double bed in the master bedroom? Such a double bed is usually at least 2.20m long.
The way from the dressing room to the bathroom would be much too long for me, I would rather set up a children's bathroom instead of the laundry room and then make the access from the master bathroom through the dressing room.

Regards
Sabine

I have looked at the floor plan several times now. I am not entirely happy with the staircase, especially since the starting point seems to be somewhat covered by the ceiling of the floor above. That could become tight. The combination of walk-in closet/parents' bedroom also caught my attention. The kitchen area might be a bit small. A real island is probably not feasible, rather just a peninsula.
