Dear all,
I need a floor plan rant or some inspiration. We are actually quite satisfied, especially with the ground floor. The bay window on the ground floor is just eye candy and serves no functional purpose or similar. On the upper floor, we are working with two dormers on the west and east sides. We are also satisfied with the plot but are not sure if the children's rooms might be a bit too small.
We welcome all input, suggestions, etc.
Development plan/restrictions
Plot size 670 sqm
Slope /
Site coverage ratio 34%
Floor space index 34%
Building envelope, building line and boundary 10.5x15
Edge development /
Number of parking spaces 2
Number of floors 1.5
Roof shape gable roof
Style classic single-family house
Garden orientation to the south side (top of plan)
Maximum heights/limits /
Other requirements /
Client requirements
Style, roof shape, building type classic single-family house with gable roof 1.5 full floors (but in the 34% area, i.e. no slavish binding to 75%)
Basement, floors ground floor & upper floor
Number of persons, age 2 adults, 2 small children (each under 4)
Space requirements on ground floor, upper floor --> as indicated in the floor plan

Number of dining places 6-8
Fireplace possibly
Music/stereo wall no
Balcony, roof terrace south-west side
Garage, carport 1x carport
House design
Who created the design:
- Planner from a construction company approx. 380k
If you have to forgo any details/extensions
- you can forgo: bay window
- you cannot forgo: probably dormers on the upper floor; study (1x spare, 1x home office necessary)
Why is the design the way it is now? For example
A mix of standard designs from the general contractor combined with our wishes (dormers + bay window)
