Floor plan/Floor plan ideas single-family house 180m², 3 children's rooms

Ok, so entrance canopy - why not. With 40 cm walls. That looks pretty sturdy. Have you ever had a view of it?

If the terrace is supposed to go around the corner into the sun - which I would very much welcome - then your conservatory is in the way, right?

The fine-tuning of the stairs can’t be done quickly like that. For that, you need exact ceiling and floor heights and any other room dimensions. Since you want the bathroom in the third gable, some experimenting will probably be necessary. Whether a straight staircase is possible, I really can’t say.

I have attached one, it doesn’t look that bad at all. But I have to say that until now I thought for structural reasons that the walls have to be that thick, since the bathroom is above. Maybe also to run the pipes through there, I will ask about it when I get the chance.

If the terrace should curve into the sun – which I would very much welcome – then your conservatory is in the way, right?

Basically correct, that’s why we’re considering whether to make two terraces, or connect them with a path running in front of the conservatory, or or or... all questions that still need to be clarified. That’s also why you’ll find doors on the south side in the floor plan in the living room and the guest room. And if you look at the exterior views, the planner also intended to place the terrace there. However, my wife didn’t like the idea that our neighbors could constantly look onto our terrace from their house. A 2 m tall arborvitae hedge isn’t exactly a highlight either.

However, I would like to have the interior clarified first before I take care of the outside. Maybe I will actually come to the conclusion that the current planning is so disastrous that everything needs to be changed. Or I will let you dissuade me from our ideas because they are impractical or something.

The previous suggestions are already quite extensive, but at least haven’t changed much yet on the possible terrace front.

Mmh, well, I do find it a bit stocky. But it's okay - not as bad as I thought.

How deep is the building window exactly? You still have a garden with 689m² at the back, right? Is there supposed to be a path through it with 120m² or what is that supposed to be? Do I have to subtract that from the 689? It would still be over 500m² of pure garden land anyway, or how is that?

The property borders directly on a lightly trafficked country road.
In the neighboring development area, all landowners at the back are required to maintain a berm due to the said country road, which was built by the municipality for noise protection reasons.
This is symbolized by this strip of greenery. Fortunately for us, there is already a natural embankment about 3m high between our property and the country road.
I spoke with the municipality and we do not have to have this berm, because from a noise protection standpoint this embankment is already sufficient; our neighbors can have it but do not have to.
However, this was apparently not known when the plans were made or they changed their mind, I do not know. In any case, I was already granted a lower purchase price before the contract because of the obligation to maintain the berm (which is NOT part of the purchase contract) and still have the full property size. We saved about €2000 including incidental costs.
In any case, for us this is now a "normal" property that we can use as we wish.
My wife was happy, because instead of a berm she now gets a 120 sqm turtle enclosure.

How deep exactly is the building area?

Unfortunately, I can't tell you exactly how deep the building area is either, I would have to estimate that based on the site plan.
But since it covers more than half of the property, I do not see any problems with our planned dimensions.

I wonder whether to place the conservatory directly facing south and the terrace then facing south/west. That would mean rotating the house and probably orienting the gable towards the street. That would give more freedom for the terrace at the back facing the garden. Here’s a sketch – just for understanding – not to scale or anything. Personally, I’d also find it more appealing if at least one gable faces the garden. Zero out of three or four chances is pretty low. Or is the ridge direction prescribed? The stupid garage would probably have to go somewhere else then.
