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

No, I love colorful, somewhat wild gardens also in height and I love symmetry and 90-degree angles. A symmetrically structured cottage garden is beautiful, a symmetrical pleasure garden feels dead.

In which "mode" do you perceive me otherwise?

A bold question.

In which "mode" do you perceive me otherwise?

You were always good at staying out of the drafting and design and mentioned it that way as well.

After spending the last few days on vacation, I carefully read through the proposals and gathered some ideas. Since I am not blessed with artistic talents, it takes some imagination to understand the current ideas: [ATTACH alt="1.png" type="full"]41379[/ATTACH]

- Pantry & HAR should be swapped with Washing+Drying and a sink should be integrated; the door to the former kitchen should be removed
- Kitchen in the north/east corner
- Living/dining room will extend to the office in the future
- Office moves to the former kitchen area
- Hallway shortened by 1m to gain additional living space in the living/dining room
- Door from pantry to outside should be removed and instead a door from the garage to the outside installed; possibly the heating+technical room can then be shifted down a bit or integrated around the corner to reduce the flat roof portion

However, I do not know if the ideas can be implemented as such.

- For this, it would be necessary to remove the currently drawn wall between office and living room to maintain the open space design. The wall could potentially be mirrored to separate the kitchen and office.
- The stairs would need to be high enough to allow a door into the future office space
- Walls in the hallway would need to be shortened and the double door moved back by 1m

Or do you see other solutions?

In this context, the respective windows would of course also need to be relocated, but that would be the architect’s task.

We currently see little need for changes on the upper floor, as long as no forced adjustments become necessary due to the redesign on the ground floor.

Storage & HAR shall be swapped with Washing+Drying and a washbasin shall be integrated;

It does not matter what you call the rooms: they are all currently within the thermal envelope and use (currently) 6 doors, of which 3 are unnecessary and rather degrade a room to a hallway (current laundry room)

The staircase would have to be high enough to fit a door into the future office room

I don’t see that, especially since you want to shorten the hallway. Possibly the staircase should be moved to the other side, then you have plenty of space to set a door. However, the upper floor will change.

Currently we see little need for changes on the upper floor,

See above.

It doesn’t matter what you call the rooms: they all currently lie within the thermal envelope and consume (currently) 6 doors, of which 3 are unnecessary and rather degrade a room to a hallway (current laundry room)

How do you come to 6 doors? If the laundry room moves into the current storage room, there will be 1 door from the hallway to the laundry room and 1 door to the outbuilding. Additionally, there is 1 door from the garage to the storage room and 1 door to the heating room. So in total 4 doors.

I don’t see that, especially since you want to shorten the hallway. Possibly the stairs should be on the other side, then you have endless space to set a door. However, the upper floor will change.

That would be worth considering. I would then have to see on paper how the upper floor would be arranged.
