Floor plan design single-family house with basement and double garage on 540 sqm

Can you please orient all the images north?

2 full stories + attic
Do you manage with the ridge height?

Or 1 full story + attic
Knee wall and 2-meter line are missing

Do you have a hillside location because of the basement?
What for the basement?

Sleeping on the ground floor
It pinches so much that the stairs no longer work, but you get a wet room in which assistance, e.g. nursing service, is not possible.
WA dryer should also be out of the basement if nothing works anymore.

How wide are the doors

Expensive lift-slide door and then sofa in front of it.

Wardrobe for 4 people is missing

Location of the stairs is not good. That’s why the upper floor is like Tetris. The result is a dark children’s room with a dressing area.
But the bedroom has a view. For what? When sleeping your eyes are closed.
Your child can make more use of it

I would drop the garage access. What do you need it for? You create a long, narrow corridor on the ground floor with a residential fire door.
Rethink the staircase location

The floor plan is not open and often gives the feeling of an apartment

Works in model home parks, for spatial feeling and so on.
Have the house properly planned
And the floor plan is for 11ant‘s Grützethread

haydee, thank you very much for your feedback. I can work with that.

Do you have a slope because of the basement?

No slope. The basement is used for music/rehearsal room, technical room, laundry room. When my siblings visit (with their large family), they can also be accommodated in the basement.

Expensive lift-and-slide door and then a sofa in front of it.

I agree with you, that makes no sense.

But the bedroom has a view. For what? When sleeping, the eyes are closed.
Your child can make better use of it.

We also initially had our room in that space. Unfortunately, it is not optimal for a double bed and dressing area. And the bigger we made that room, the more "narrow" the other children's room became.

Cloakroom for 4 people is missing.

Don't you find the cloakroom in the entrance area sufficient? How big would you make it?

Regarding garage access... opinions seem divided about its usefulness or not. Homeowners who have it don’t want to do without it anymore (at least those we have spoken to).

- Getting children in and out of the car while staying dry (>200 rainy days in 2018, I was surprised when I googled this...)
- Taking out trash/diapers to the garage
- Quickly grabbing something from the car that you forgot without having to open the gate

Of course, the question arises whether it’s worth it, especially if it does not fit with other things.

I just see the following problem. If I place the entrance near the garage (north) and leave the kitchen/dining/living area in the south/west, it inevitably results in a corridor... :-/

We also considered replacing the landing stairs with a straight one and swapping the living room with the kitchen.

Hi

I would start over again.
Regardless of the floor plan, the building does not fit on the plot at all.
After presumably three meters of terrace, the neighbor's garage wall stands to the south.
I see more of a narrow, elongated building from east to west on the plot.

We have a door from the garage into a utility room (no building services, laundry room, and additional cloakroom/shoe cabinet). Of your points, I can only confirm the third. In a 5.50m wide garage (interior dimension), you don’t get kids out of the car if there are 2 cars in the garage. And what’s the point of trash in the garage? Do you want to store the garbage bins there? Then I would especially avoid the connecting door! Friends of ours have problems with garage odors diffusing into the house, which is why we didn’t want a door directly into the hallway either.

I agree. The drawing of the garage simulates a spaciousness that is not present at all with an interior width of 550 cm. You can be glad if the driver can reasonably get out of the car on either side. A bicycle in the middle becomes a balancing act, parking it in the middle is not possible at all.

My garage at my rental apartment is located around the house. I can hardly remember ever really walking this path in the rain .. and if I did, sometimes an umbrella helps or walking faster .

a generosity that is not present at all with 550 cm interior width

That's how it is. That is a comfortable garage width, even with the possibility of parking both cars in the same direction, at least in the combination Passat / Up or Golf / Golf - but only with driver door opening and without transporting through the aisle.
