The problem in my opinion already begins with the fact that one mostly uses software that has fancy visualization options. It can be helpful and exciting, but ultimately I often miss pencil drawings, graph paper with an eraser or Tipp-Ex.

What I also don’t quite understand is that nowadays you can find trillions of floor plans on the internet, and most of them even fit the needs of the "usual" family size, of similar age, and also similar financial range.
So why don’t you really pick a floor plan that more or less fits your plot? Such a plan can still be pimped in detail.

Yeah, the exterior view and facade – I would completely leave that out, even if it’s tempting with software tools; initially, it’s all about YOUR INDIVIDUAL floor plan, whose planning should not be constrained by external features! Currently, it seems as if you have seen various things and now want to throw them all into one pot (house). I say this by no means disrespectfully, because the exact same thing happened to me when building my first house!

If you each enter exact wall thicknesses, facing bricks, pipe runs, original furniture dimensions, many thoughts resolve themselves or reveal bottlenecks.
By the way, I would place the windows exactly where and how I need them, thinking from the inside out.
A nice exterior view or facade can then be designed in a variety of ways.
The windows in the living room currently slam against each other; the one at the counter ends up behind the back of the cocktail-sipping guest.
The upper floor including the stairs looks exactly like Tetris and not like planning. Unfortunately, these software tools often give the impression that they can replace the work of a planner; they do not.
These things seem playful and easy today, but they are not, because a good floor plan depends on countless parameters like location, sun, elevations, individual use, future planning, costs, taste, own decisions...
I also recommend completely letting go of the current thing called Plan (and the PC) once...

I agree with your post except for the exact wall thicknesses: no, you don’t need those! Exterior walls can always be assumed to be 40 cm thick, and interior walls likewise, then 20 cm. Where non-load-bearing walls are not needed, the structural engineer will tell you, then you get a few centimeters of room width as a bonus. You don’t get single centimeters in construction anyway: a design that would only “fit” under the condition of centimeter-precise realization just simply “does not fit.”

Sure.
What I particularly wanted to express, though by no means exhaustively listed, is that considerable attention should be paid to dimensional details inside, since I repeatedly see beautiful pictures and visualizations but unfortunately miss important dimensional specifications.
You can simply tell that the builder today is more focused on the PC and its fancy possibilities but in doing so neglects the, in my opinion, important but possibly tedious “handwork.”

I would call it mental work with planning understanding. I am always surprised that an inexperienced person changes the whole structure within half an hour and thinks "now I've got it."

I have not changed the design within an hour, but have been trying out new things almost daily for the past two weeks. I never start from scratch, but always use existing floor plans from catalogs or from the homepages of house builders as templates/bases. However, we definitely want a children's bathroom and absolutely want the parents' bathroom and bedroom to be accessible through the dressing room. (Assuming that the "naked mom scenario" from Motorradsilke won't happen ;))

And the described dressing room from K1300S sounds good, but isn’t it quite narrow then? A narrow dressing room was advised against relatively early in this thread.

I have nothing against trying out floor plans on paper. But if I had tried all the attempts of the last two weeks on paper instead of on the PC, I would probably have needed about 8 weeks instead...

oh yes, and that a (sensible) floor plan is not just easily created by me laypeople, I noticed very early on. That’s why I’m trying to get feedback here.

Am I the only one here who thinks it's such a shame that you get the biggest plot in the development area but then don't use it?
