Glare also occurs with windows with a normal sill height, and a glare protection in the style of a Japanese screen does not necessarily have to be built as tall as a person and standing on the floor. And the combination of a normal sill height and a floor-standing Japanese screen would also be possible, as long as no window niche radiator is planned.Well... you can simply plan for a different window than "floor-to-ceiling behind the sofa"
We are planning a west-south terrace (around the corner), so a kitchen in the west could also have terrace access.I planned the kitchen downstairs also so that it can have direct access to the terrace, which is extremely practical.
If the kitchen ends up in the northwest, it can very well become quite dark.
I think if you don't want to see the kitchen, it should probably be completely closed off; then, however, with your floor plan, there is no island.
...
Possibly something could still be done if one uses a different staircase or if it is located in the entrance area, which you don’t want if I understood correctly (which, by the way, I wouldn’t want either).
Hello Katja, a bay window could appeal to me. Do you sometimes have exterior views of your design? I assume south is at the top for you?Maybe with a bay window?
If you do without the kitchen island, a double sliding door between the kitchen and living room would be possible.

How would you arrange the carport and the driveway on the property?
Yes, I’m also in favor of east. But the property is pretty tight. 20m - 6m carport - 9m house width = 5m to the fence. Not sure if a terrace is worth it there or if it’s better to only have one on the south side?East!
