Floor plan design for a new single-family house with double garage (city villa)

Roughly like this, although no garage was integrated here.

In this version, there is a shed roof on the left and right parts with a flat roof in the middle and a flat roof on the garage

I remember a bungalow in an "H" shape here like that. But I think it was a size bigger. Maybe 6-12 months ago. can probably help further The question remains why a completely different concept now? It's certainly not cheaper.

After yesterday's conversation with the architect and a subsequent shell construction inspection, we are considering abandoning our plans and possibly abandoning the house style and building a single-story house. As a basis, a former order with the identical plot orientation is used. Roughly speaking, in my opinion, not much would need to be adjusted: - Integration of office - Reduce overall width and extend to the back

Hm. What is that supposed to achieve? I can hardly imagine it will be cheaper with almost double the roof area. As I said, I would adapt to the plot, narrower and two-story with a wide west garden. The plot is predestined for that. The rooms would also be much better lit as a result. Of course, your architect gladly takes a plan out of the drawer and shifts it around a bit. It's less work than coming up with a new concept.

The terrace of your "football field-sized bungalow" is best protected from any sunlight; is your architect's last name by any chance Dracula?

The why would also interest me. Was the thought process leading there that the staircase is disturbing? With this house, you have to be careful that it doesn't become just a dark confusion or labyrinth. In this example, openness is visibly missing and therefore some generosity.

The thought process was that in the original version many compromises had to be made, such as

- relocating the office to the upper floor
- removing the direct house entrance from the garage
- smaller living area, etc.
to fulfill our wishes.
Of course, the staircase design was a problem..

In this version, in my opinion, one is more flexible.
By the way, there will be no cost savings, but that was not the main focus.

- Move the office to the upper floor - remove direct house entrance from the garage - small living area, etc. to meet our wishes. Of course, the staircase design was a problem..

I don't see now that it couldn't have been done differently. But you just didn't get going to explore other possibilities, for example, you can also rotate the garage to get closer to the entrance. My suggestion was to rotate the house, to connect the entrance... And Katja also brought examples. Surely the bungalow is also a great house, but now I refer to your 34er duty to adhere to and align with the neighboring buildings. How is the immediate neighborhood in the street?
