Floor plan of a semi-detached house 7x16m on 390sqm in a settlement

Yes, it feels somewhat like a labyrinth... however, an open corridor with a window takes away the tightness. I would rather do without a QM in one room and instead alleviate the fundamental claustrophobia when going upstairs. It otherwise has a lot in common with a showroom: Pinterest downstairs for the guests, and upstairs it’s a shoe box to choke on.

yes, that’s true, a solution still needs to be found for upstairs.. I have inserted pictures downstairs.. maybe this is better?

Definitely not, because everything is only meant and can serve as a sketch.
Here again a more family-friendly version... planned from top to bottom:

Hm yes, now it is definitely better at the top. How are the plans? See attachment

I wouldn't like the upstairs. Bedroom too narrow, double casement window not operable... If you like it? (The door to the utility room cannot be placed under a slope, [Fnester im Giebel] not either)

On the ground floor, I would make sure that you don't see the car from the open-plan living area. Car parked in front like a? Is an entrance canopy feasible?

I wouldn't like the upper floor. Bedroom too narrow, double casement window not operable... If you like it? (The door to the utility room cannot be placed under a slope, windows in the gable neither) On the ground floor I would make sure that you cannot look at the car from the living area. Car parked in front like a? Is an entrance overhang feasible?

The windows are supposed to represent a skylight, but unfortunately the app has no skylights... A door to the utility room could also be made from the outside. But all in all not a dream. Before I thought the upper floor was good as it is... especially since the stairs to the attic probably won't work either because it's under the slope. That's why I will probably stick to my first plan and accept the narrowness, because the upper floor is also important... although I would really find the ground floor perfect.

All these planning proposals are just shots in the dark, without knowing more about the basics. The possible ceiling heights should also be known for such dimensions, for example. With a maximum ceiling height of 2.60 m, one plans nice sensory impressions of railway underpasses. Especially when you have to work with north and east light. A dark-cool-looking living space at the end of a long tunnel does not create a good living atmosphere. And that the planning task is not for "the client designs it themselves here" drafts is clear at the latest with the difficulties in planning the upper floor. I stick to my assessment that a shorter house with a developed - and thus integrally planned! attic has more living and life value than maximizing the building envelope just because it is possible and one thinks more is more.

With a maximum ceiling height of 2.60 m, you are planning beautiful impressions of a railway underpass. Especially when you have to play with north and east light. A dark-cool feeling living space at the end of a long tunnel—no good living atmosphere will come from that. And that the planning task is not for "the client plans it themselves here" designs becomes clear at the latest with the difficulties of planning the upper floor. I stick to my assessment that a shorter house with a converted—and thus integrally planned!—attic has more living and life quality than maximizing the building envelope just because it is possible and you think more is more.

What other information is needed?! Ceiling height is planned at 2.50. We do not want to make the house shorter as I am already barely managing with the space and my wishes. Of course, a shorter but wider house would be perfect. I just don’t have another option. I like the upper floor and attic; I would leave them as they are without feeling guilty. On the ground floor, I like the completely open plan; clearly, the narrow layout bothers me too, but she doesn’t like to separate the living room and kitchen/dining area either. If I had the south side, I wouldn’t worry at all. My MAIN PROBLEM is not the layout itself but rather that it will become too dark, and that is why I want to redesign a bit to plan for more windows. But I want a door on the west side with a medium-sized glass element and a glass panel next to it so I can get some light there as well. I JUST HOPE that if it stays like this, it will not become dark. Because somehow all the changes or attempts I have started don’t really fit. My neighbor opposite, who has already built (I’ve already taken a look inside the house), has the south side but no windows on the south. No windows on the north either. On the west, two large terrace doors to the garden. And in the kitchen (which is NOT open-plan), windows on the east side. And I found it not dark in terms of light. Therefore, I hope it will be acceptable with me as well since I actually have more windows…
