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

I can't warm up to the draft. First, the main rooms were completely oriented to the north. Then, a ridiculously long hallway divides the rooms into narrow sections, completely unnecessarily. You could easily move the wall with the double door one meter further south according to the plan and enlarge the living room. Despite the large floor area, there is no sense of spaciousness – seat-to-TV distance is under 3.60m! The hallway upstairs is very unusual – it has little to do with a gallery including a nice open space. The utility rooms were just "slapped on" somehow, there is no connection to the daily routine.

The plot is long – you should reconsider your options. What orientation do you want for the house – where should the terrace be? How loud is the street? Could the terrace possibly be placed to the south and the house further north? Or are you planning a pavilion instead of a terrace and placing it further back in the sun? Are so many utility rooms really needed on the ground floor or could the washing machine be placed on the first floor? Where should bicycles go if the garage is already fully built up? How important is the children's bathroom or would a shared bathroom also be okay if there were still a shower downstairs?

One somehow gets the feeling that there was hardly any consultation from the architect. Maybe you should just start over. If I am wrong, please correct me.

So for the plots I would ...
- detach the garage from the house to the southeast corner
- entrance to the house on the east side
- living rooms to the south and west, kitchen probably southeast.



So like the left house in the picture (the right one does it mirrored the same).

Refreshing that here for once there is an argument against [Nordgarten] and in favor of light on the terrace and in the living area
I would also recommend it, don’t hide from the sun so much. You can always shade in the summer

The plot is screaming for a long rectangular house

The plot calls for a long rectangular house
and yes: [vorgelagerte Garage], but it can also be lengthwise.

Don't let yourselves go crazy thinking that everyone always has to face south. Keep the house with the garage in front. Firstly, nobody likes carrying their stuff from the garage across the entire property to the house. Secondly, it creates a lot more unnecessary sealing from paths.

The garden at the back is big enough to create a separate terrace for sun lovers. In summer, you're glad for the shade from the house outside.
And as long as the neighboring buildings are not too tall and don't cast much shadow, it's enough to turn the interior 90° downstairs; it will be bright enough inside.
I won't say anything about the rest inside; I don't find the floor plan so wrong. Sure, you can optimize here and there, but others here usually do that better with more enthusiasm.
I would only make sure, especially for the front children's room, to definitely use venetian blinds instead of rolling shutters, otherwise the child will sit in a dark room in the summer with the light on.
