Have you ever thought about drawing the plot to a scale of 1:100 and marking the house along with the driveway, front yard, garage, and terrace including shading or sun exposure etc????

To me, the house would be too boring regarding the living/common room.

It always depends on how you look at it. One could also be happy that a mature tree already exists and parking space is available for visitors.

A rather carelessly thrown-together draft...

Why the large window around the corner on the ground floor? Sure, it’s stylish, but it doesn’t fit here and instead disturbs. The kitchen can’t properly "unfold," resulting in a dining area that hardly deserves the name and a huge amount of free space in the middle that remains completely unused.
Think about what kind of kitchen you want, how big the dining area should be, and the windows should be arranged accordingly — not the other way around.
Usually, you need more space for the dining table than for the living room — and often it’s planned exactly the opposite. What do you do in the living room corner? Sit a bit on the sofa, watch TV, be lazy — consider how many square meters are appropriate for that. And how dumb it is, on the other hand, if there isn’t enough space around the dining table...

Dressing room without a window and too narrow! Access to the bedroom is better through the dressing room than having a trapped dressing room inside the bedroom. And what’s with the dance hall in front of the bed? That leaves little space to the right and left beside the bed...

I also fear that the utility room will be too small for a house without a basement — at least if a washing machine and dryer are supposed to be there too and maybe occasionally a drying rack for laundry. Or is that supposed to be in the open space in the living area??? I wouldn’t want that...
Better to consider a utility room on the upper floor — that’s where the laundry happens! And if I take the dance hall out of the bedroom and shave off a few square meters from the larger children’s room, an extra utility room would still be possible.

I would also always consider putting all the piping on one side of the house — so either move the bathroom over to the kitchen side or vice versa.

If the extra room on the ground floor is not needed, I wouldn’t plan it or at least make it significantly smaller — and thus have more relaxed space on the ground floor.

Items that are rarely used can certainly be stored in the attic — but it’s really no fun and with two planned children, you quickly have more "urgently!" needed things than you might imagine. And you don’t want to constantly carry them up and down.

The exterior views are hideous, sorry. Although I’m also a fan of arranging windows according to function and not arranging rooms to have outwardly pretty windows, you can still take a bit of the exterior view into consideration.

To me, the entrance area is too narrow — also visually I find the standard-width front door without side panels ... well, let’s say politely "suboptimal."
With two children, possibly both still in strollers/prams, the hall is definitely too small. Where should the stroller stand in winter?

There are standard floor plans that are better.

And I agree with 11ant — think outside the square, even if the general contractor would like it that way. With a rectangular floor plan you always have more window options relative to the floor area than with a square — or the other way around: with a square there tends to be dead, lightless space in the middle. I don’t like it...

2 x parking spaces and a tree in front of the property initially prevent access to the property according to the plan sketch.

Presumably, this is not to scale and only schematically represented, but it could also hold surprises. For example, with us there was a plan from the city for the access/driveways. In individual cases, driveways could be relocated upon request.

Hello everyone, I was at the planner again today and addressed some points that were listed here. We will paint the living area on the ground floor, and the kitchen will find its place there. The dining area will then have enough space. The guest WC will be located under the kitchen towards the west, so that the utility room on the ground floor will become larger again. We would like to keep the corner window and possibly create a play area for the children there, so you can see the children both from the kitchen and from the living room. We just want to keep it very open and don’t like smaller, "intricate" rooms. The master bedroom upstairs will be made shorter in length and slightly wider. We will also reduce the size of the bathroom and allocate the square meters to the small children's room. Let's see if we can make the entrance area bigger. It probably won’t be possible to have an entrance door with side panels because we will have a concrete staircase due to the storage space underneath. What do you think about the proposed changes?

Yes, that is often the case.

I do not share that hope in the slightest.


Of those just listed, nothing at all. I stick to my point: give the rooms their appropriate dimensions – and for each floor separately; then see what comes out of that, and stack the floor plans of this intermediate result on top of each other again. Don’t go down the wrong path of "redistributing" within the current exterior walls – the walls of the currently discussed design don’t exist yet, so there is no reason to proceed with replanning as if it were a remodeling!

One does not necessarily have to follow the idea of sidelights at the front door with floor-to-ceiling windows directly attached. I find the idea with the play corner sympathetic. But don’t forget to correct the currently unfavorable orientation of the windows in terms of cardinal directions!

My (not only aesthetic but also structural) personal opinion on corner windows is this: a relatively expensive gimmick – a classic post does not really disturb the view, after all, you are not looking out onto Lake Geneva here.

Otherwise – already said it – consider a favorable stacking of the pipes and go through the dressing room into the bedroom.

That is also possible with risers in a wooden staircase.

Where will the living room be located if
?
