Floor plan for a single-family house desired (staggered shed roof)

So I have now tried a different variant, thanks ypg Please note that this is only a rough draft and many things are still missing. It is just to see if this would be a sensible and expandable layout:

Ground floor


Upper floor:


Advantages:

[*]Ground floor is nicely spacious
[*]Separate guest WC or pantry or both possible
[*]Sleeping area nicely secluded with separate bathroom

Disadvantages:

[*]Upper floor is totally fragmented, the layout is not harmonious at all. Also, we actually wanted two equally sized children's rooms
[*]Work/guest room in the basement (but that's not so bad)
[*]The path from the master bedroom to the kids is very long and you have to go around many corners. We currently have a 4-year-old daughter and one is still in mommy’s belly. A direct way to the little ones would be nicer. But probably you can't have both, a secluded bedroom + good access to the children

But the real dealbreaker is actually the floor plan on the upper floor, which in my opinion just doesn’t work. Or what do you think about this variant?

That is only 4.15 m

With the staircase, it is about 6 meters that need to be accommodated.

In the newer version, quite a few things are also wrong, but I like the room layout better.
An L-shape for the living and kitchen area is always nicer than a rectangular room.
Where would the utility room or additional room be now? On the hallway side??
Nevertheless: the kitchen has too little workspace, the upper floor is not acceptable at all, as you yourself have noted...
Just as a thought: the staircase could theoretically be placed against the kitchen wall now, quarter-turn. Then you would have a more suitable room upstairs. The kitchen could be moved towards the dining area.
But: the current staircase seems too short to me! Plan at least 3.70 m in length!
How high is the knee wall planned on the upper floor?

...but we could manage with that if necessary.

But it doesn't have to be. Better think about a clearer zoning, cooking-eating-living in the south, the rest in the north, with an entrance hallway, also reconsider the stairs. WD

I have already climbed further with the staircase again...
With us, as you can see the staggered floor, the staircase runs in the attic area of the lower roof...

I believe you. Suggestion: Stop creepy self-design attempts, work in a fast food restaurant of your choice with the time saved. Use the money + tips to hire someone who, among other things, has learned design.

@ WD: You can definitely learn nicer tones at a fast food restaurant

@Zovima: The line drawings were created while making stuffed cabbage rolls. Still, sometimes even ill-considered sketches can inspire
Maybe consider incorporating that the eaves above the front door can, for example, protrude by one meter... it creates a canopy and adds tension to the views. I can’t say anything about the costs.

Have fun experimenting

I rolled rooms again... unfortunately with a pen... and without knowledge of the building envelope and budget limit... of course, subject to revision, but maybe still a food for thought? The size can certainly be adjusted a bit...

Good night
