Floor plan design city villa 130 sqm

As soon as it gets sunny, I quickly have a room temperature of 26 degrees and above

That is what the option of automatic shading is for.

I don't see that you want to make life in the West beautiful. The house is not exactly unique - a standard house meets a plot that requires some individual planning for the house.

However, I also have the problem that you write: entrance on the street side, but the plot there also bends, so it is not clear how the little house sits on the plot. It’s best if you draw the house, carport, and terrace on the plot. With a north arrow. It makes a difference whether you plan your windows deliberately or randomly. Also, you won’t be able to keep the heat out if everything is planned open. But then it’s dark and warm - not bright and warm. In winter you fall into hibernation

Best regards in brief

I always wonder what must be going through the minds of the employees of such companies when the catalog house is positioned with the living space facing northeast. Do they not have any self-assertion at all? However, I also see the struggle that some deliver in order to be directed as perfectly as possible to the south as exaggerated.

I agree with ypg, this should be approached differently.

I also think that simply too many of today's usual "must-haves" (open spaces, straight staircase, insanely many exits to the outside, fireplace, dressing area, toilet/shower solution in the bathroom with double vanity and walk-in shower) have been squeezed into 130 sqm.

Work downstairs with a quarter staircase instead of straight. Saves space. Continue downstairs. Swap the guest guest WC area with the kitchen and utility room. Then experiment to see if slightly different wall positions bring relief. When the guest is a guest, it’s usually empty anyway. So it can also face north. Upstairs, the bedroom needs more space. Possibly reduce the walk-in closet. Without it and with a classic wardrobe, it would be quite large. The children's rooms are huge, poor kids, they get lost in them. A small person perceives such halls as even bigger. There would also be room to gain for storage space. Because there is none at all. The bathroom upstairs feels overloaded. In our bathroom there will comfortably still be space for a laundry cabinet, half-height. About belly height. That’s where towels, toilet paper stock, and all that stuff will be stored. I don’t think that’s wrong. Karsten

Work with a quarter staircase at the bottom instead of completely straight. Saves space.

In the corner yes; where it stands, the hallway would have to be wider because of that – and here it is probably just narrower.

I actually consider that only partially a catalog house: to me, it looks like there was originally a "building proposal" that exceeded the budget. So they loosened the floor plan and cut out a bit of length and width. Without cheating with an undersized dining table and casually leaving out the second bedside table, etc., it would of course be noticeable.

I think in the mind of the construction company employee it's quite simple: to tailor an offer to the potential customer's budget at all costs. If you say, "if it has to be good, it unfortunately has to be more expensive," then they don't buy. So the motto is: the building plan must secure the contract signature.

I agree with ypg; the matter should be approached differently.

I also think that on 130 sqm simply too many of today’s usual "must-haves" (open spaces, straight staircase, insanely many exits to the outside, fireplace, dressing area, T/L solution in the bathroom with double vanity and walk-in shower) have been crammed in.

I totally agree with your last paragraph!!!

I also feel sorry for the planners from BU... sometimes nothing is expected from them at all: the BU binds their hands through construction cost-saving measures, the future builder demands nothing.

At least with the arguments of the OP, I would try to have a conversation with the OP/builder. Well, that’s why we’re in this forum: because we want to do it differently - to understand the builder, but also to discuss and stimulate thought processes, and also to understand other needs.

But honestly: now you, OP, read a lot here, but somehow I don’t see any resonance even for your arguments regarding the approach. So I wonder whether another explanation about the sun’s position in summer or winter, the brightness of rooms themselves, the pros and cons of terraces on the north side, heat in new buildings, etc. should or will still come from you – so for now I’ll wait for your drawing.
