City villa floor plan 160 sqm - Please provide tips!

What is the benefit of thinner exterior walls?

I think he didn't mean the thickness of the exterior walls but the lengths... for example 11m * 9m instead of 10.5m * 9.6m

In my opinion, the floor plan just wastes a lot of space. You have 21m² of hallway alone, the wardrobe is neither here nor there and probably only there because the corner next to the stairs was left over.

With reasonable planning, the house could probably be built about 15m² smaller without losing the slightest bit of comfort. Upstairs, for example, I would carve out 8-10m² from the total 43m² children’s rooms for a nice utility room, so you don’t have to carry laundry through the whole house all the time. You can also simply cut out the dressing room given its size and positioning; it brings no added value.

You can also probably eliminate the pantry with the large kitchen. Then place the guest toilet in the pantry’s position, the wardrobe in front of it, and a nice 10m² office next to the stairs upstairs.

Somehow it all feels a bit stuck. I’d recommend firing up Google image searches and letting yourself get inspired a bit more.

Thank you for the contributions. I will draw a bit tonight.

Just to be sure: Carport is not an option?

Thanks for the posts. I will do some drawing this evening

It'll be fine. Just don't let anyone sell you a floor plan that you are unhappy or only semi-satisfied with.

1. You pay for every square meter
2. The fun and anticipation for the house will noticeably decrease.

And don't forget the details, as the offer price is based on the details. We also had such a general contractor offer in hand and decided for an architect.

Not only is there a world of difference between the floor plan and the execution. But that's another topic. There are probably transparent general contractors as well, ...maybe

Get well soon. It started for me today as well. Katja, are you preparing something? :-p
