Floor plan design single-family house, city villa, 135m²

What should the house roughly cost?

House squeezed to the street? Why, there is 3m of space here or is that still too tight?

I absolutely don't think so... we also have 2 children. Of course, they should have their place to play in the garden at the back (protected from view)... what good is a 10-meter front garden to me? The 3 meters are completely enough for some plantings for my better half... my opinion.

Regarding the floor plan:
The upper floor is pretty much the same as our floor plan... just mirrored. Although we moved the wall a bit towards the bathroom here... so that it is a bit smaller and the bedroom a bit bigger.

Only comment: Does it fit here with the doors and the staircase like that? Looks pretty tight.

On the ground floor, I personally think the utility room is too small and the study possibly too big. Although of course you have to consider how intensively it will be used.

Everyone has to judge the distance between the garage and the kitchen for themselves. At the moment we still live in a rental apartment... there I carry the groceries from the parking lot across the street and then 2 flights of stairs up... then through the hallway into the kitchen... and many certainly have it even worse. Of course not comfortable but all doable. I usually take off my shoes... in our current plan I deliberately omitted a door from the carport to the utility room... as I said, everyone has to assess that for themselves.

The building shape suggests more of a semi-detached house than a city villa, but it doesn't necessarily have to look bad. The views are missing and I think the arrangement of the windows presents itself as very poor. If I were you, I would start from scratch once again. Assuming that north is at the top, for example a long and narrow building body with a 3 m distance to the eastern property boundary. To avoid a long corridor, also place the main entrance on the east. Arrangement of the rooms on the ground floor for example from the corner in the southeast clockwise: study, kitchen, dining, living, utility room, stairs, and main entrance.

This way you will have a sunny terrace and a view of the greenery from noon until sunset.

I don't think the floor plan itself is that bad. What absolutely doesn't work is the utility room, because there is way too little space. We have the upper floor almost identical, except that we replaced the dressing room with a laundry and storage room. This gives us more space in the house connection room for tools, drinks, supplies, cleaning utensils, etc. Keep in mind that you can't necessarily store liquids, drinks, paint residues (for repair work), and sometimes tools in the [Carport-Anbau] or in the attic.

Maybe briefly again, what needs to go into such a house connection room
- Heat pump
- Electric box
- Water connection including water meter
- Network?
- If gas is needed in addition to the heat pump, then also a gas connection
- Preferably a distributor for the underfloor heating

If the heat pump only needs to be accessible from one side, it might fit into the corner; connections might fit on the exterior wall without windows. That leaves no space for a washing machine and dryer, let alone other utensils.

I also noticed that the wastewater pipes would probably run through the living room.
The exterior views are probably not very appealing either.

On the subject of distances/location on the property, we have our house 1:1 like yours, including a double garage at the spot where you want your double carport. If you are interested in what that could look like, I could send you a picture via PM.

House squeezed onto the street? Why, there are 3 meters of space here or is that still too narrow?

I absolutely don't think so... we also have 2 children. Of course, they should have their place to play in the backyard (visually protected)... what good is a 10 meter front yard to me? The 3 meters are more than enough for a few plantings for the better half... my opinion.

I don't want to start now with the definition of garden. Some don't want one or are not aware of the difference between lawn and garden, others have no idea about garden design, see

...for a few plantings for the better half...

and just want a place for their house.
A garden actually consists of several areas: play area, kitchen garden, paving/courtyard/driveway, garbage corner, fruit trees and relaxation area and terrace... examples can be extended!
That when you have children, you like to supervise them (I don't understand visually protected) while they romp around on the lawn or on play equipment, is understandable; nevertheless, the lawn also serves as a resting pool for the adult eye. The children don’t care whether they have 150 sqm or 200 sqm to romp around, but those other 50 sqm in the example might be necessary to hang laundry outside of the blazing sun and away from the resting eye (so visually protected ;)), to plan the kitchen garden in partial shade, the fruit trees in the sun, as well as the garbage near the house entrance in a visually protected way.
Also, you might want an area where the bikes can stand during the day without blocking the car. The trend is going anyway towards a third terrace (morning sun for Sunday breakfast, winter sun protected, shady dining area and barbecue corner), several benches decorate the oases of rest and so on and so forth.

If you have 3 meters available and take away one meter for a privacy hedge in front of the street, 2 meters remain: just the passageway between hedge and house. The hedge will then block every ray of light into the windows at 2.50 m height in 5 years.
At the latest, when the child has their own car and doesn’t know where to park, you will be annoyed at the saving measure of 3 meters.

All of this has something to do with design, some can do it, some cannot.
Those who cannot can (but don’t have to) get advice – whether from a professional in the area or here (see post) :)

If I were you, I would start again from scratch.

Me too.

P.S. I always find it very strange that the technology has to be right, but the rest (that which actually makes life pleasant and beautiful) is put at the very bottom of the priority list. What is a nice house without a meaningful garden design?
