City villa floor plan 160 sqm - Please provide tips!

Yes, so what exactly should go into the basement ... and, are you clear about the transport route? And what should go into a free-standing garden shed?

You don't need an outside entrance if you only carry garden furniture up and down twice a year.
The lawnmower goes into the garden shed, will eventually be somewhere in the garden, which is big enough.
I agree with you about the bicycles, we don't yet know where to put them, in the winter in the basement and in the summer probably behind the garage.

I would place the garage door to the back, towards the garden; it has no added value if the garage gate is right next to it where I can go out.

Rolling gates to open, just to get something from the car that you forgot, can be quite annoying. But if it doesn’t bother you, ok.

The children's rooms are really small, hmm... I have to draw as soon as I get to it.

Yes, exactly. That’s why, for example, #145 is nonsense and not what you want.

Why nonsense? What would you do differently/better? (Without changing the style like in the last draft)

That’s the point. If the style may not be changed, I see no reason not to build the draft from #1. The children's rooms there are nicely big – exactly what you want. Everything else works too. The windows still need a bit of optimization so you can place wardrobes better. You say 80cm walking space in the pantry is enough for you; the dressing room upstairs has only one wardrobe – maybe enough. Turning the bed and moving the window – that works. Nice big hallway – you don’t want it, but I think it’s good. In the bathroom, everything arranged a bit better. Coat closet on the long wall by the bathroom can also be nice and big. So why not? Ok, the kitchen window facing the garage is still bothering. But maybe an offset of the house into the garden could help. Unfortunately, it’s not quite clear to me what you actually still want to change and especially how?

A few more views:

... of a rhythm of the window spacing that, in my perception, is overwhelmingly uniform, as if machine-stamped.

Hello everyone, thank you for the many comments

After we (once again) visited model homes, moved everything back and forth, spoke with the general contractor, etc., we decided to keep the main elements from #1, with some optimizations. I will post the plans here as soon as they are finished. In advance:
- we decided on a platform staircase (500 euro surcharge)
- the walk-in closet in the bedroom could be enlarged
- the T in the bathroom will be removed
- the layout of the guest WC/wardrobe was changed
- a window was moved here and there
- the garage is to be attached to the house, as otherwise there would be only 80 cm of space. We prefer to leave these 80 cm free towards the boundary, since (according to the building authority) there are ongoing disputes regarding boundary garages
- the 8 m from the street to the house now appeals to me quite well, so it will remain as is

Regardless of the floor plans, I still have some general questions:
- What do you think about these room heights? I personally fear they are too low, my husband finds them okay
- the double windows are 151 (w) x 126 (h), the floor-to-ceiling double windows are 151 (w) x 226 (h)... is that too little? In the model homes the windows are much bigger...

Thanks in advance!

Basement 2.5m clear height, but no screed?

In the living rooms 2.46m clear height? That would be way too little for me.

We have 2.42m clear height in the basement and I already find that oppressive. On the ground floor we have 2.695m and on the upper floor 2.57m.

- What do you think about these ceiling heights? Personally, I fear it is too low, my husband finds it acceptable. - The double windows are 151 (w) x 126 (h), the floor-to-ceiling double windows are 151 (w) x 226 (h)... is that too little? In the model houses, the windows are much bigger...

You don’t want to build a model house anyway.

If I am correct, the room height is 246 cm minus ceiling plaster. I would claim: you won’t see the difference to 250. Anyone wanting more height would also need space for an additional step.

The window sizes are sufficient for lighting. 151 wide is too heavy for a single sash, so a double sash is already necessary there. The width hardly justifies an asymmetrical division, so I would divide symmetrically. The emergency exit window should be done with a mullion, but I would handle the other windows the same way. Using posts is slightly cheaper but takes away more glass width (it doesn’t really get darker from that, more so a feeling).

- The garage is to be built attached to the house, as otherwise there would only be 80 cm distance. We prefer to leave these 80 cm free to the boundary because (according to the building authority) there are frequent disputes regarding garages on boundaries.

This statement is nonsense inasmuch as 80 cm boundary “distance” still counts as boundary building and must comply with the wall height limit. 80 cm is mostly sufficient to exercise your “ladder right” on your own land, i.e. as a maintenance passage and to push a child’s bike through. As a passageway with a trash bin or lawn mower, it is a matter of preference which side you prefer. As a passageway carrying shopping bags or a laundry basket, it is an inconvenient dimension.
