Floor plan of a single-family house with basement, 150 sqm, only single-story allowed

Since the upper floor is pretty clear, we are currently only planning the ground floor.

The wall between the pantry and the bicycle garage will not be built later.

Then the wall must be planned differently .. and I would forgo the door into the house at that point. The kitchen cannot be planned so practically and the dining table would be much too uncomfortable for me ... like sitting in the middle of the hall. Again, reference to and the originals from in as well as in

The wall between the pantry and the bike garage will not be built later. The knee wall with this bay window inside is actually 1.5m high, which is almost full living space.

Which knee wall is meant? To my knowledge, that is not even legitimate as edge development.

The hallway is a bit too large and open for my taste, but my wife is looking forward to it.

What does she like about it? That it is basically "nicely open" or that you can see straight through the house from the front door? So also any strangers in front of the door..

I'm drifting further away from the kitchen island because I usually find the extraction solutions for it dumb. It shouldn't be in front of the window either, so it basically only remains on the wall to the pantry.

The island or the stove? Regarding the island: then just make a prep island.

So the door itself should also look like a cabinet. Next to the door I would then have a large American fridge.

We will soon plan exactly where the door to the pantry will go, but it can be moved quickly.

I share the answer from and believe that the kitchen cannot even be planned well that easily. Just as quickly as you can move a door, you can also make a kitchen go from functional to dysfunctional.

Because of an incomprehensible / unexplained line of thought.

The knee wall with this bay window is actually 1.5m high inside, which is almost fully living space.

Here too, I’m at a loss.

To my knowledge, that is then not legitimate as edge development.

Living rooms are not eligible for border privileges.

Which knee wall is meant?

The knee wall in the upper floor, which is calculated, among other things, from the gross floor area of the ground floor. With the bay window, there is more floor space, so a higher build is allowed on the upper floor.

To my knowledge, that is then not legit as edge development.

The bay window may undershoot the 2.5m clearance area (for me it is currently 3.5m without the bay window) down to 2m.

What does she like about it? That it is basically “nicely open” or that you can see through the house from the front door? So also any strangers at the door...

The openness. We are at the edge of the village, so I would estimate those "strangers at the door" to less than one person per year. And then he sees the dining table. I can handle that. And as I said, building like that, and if it bothers, extending the wall is very easy, cheap, and quick. The other way around doesn’t work, because if there is a wall, it will of course be a load-bearing wall. Removing it is then not so quick.

The island or the stove? About the island: then just make a prep island.

Yes, I am tending more and more towards that. It can also be used well as a surface when having a birthday party or similar. I think rolling out dough there with the children is also more fun when you can approach from all sides.

I share @kbt09’s answer and think that the kitchen can’t be planned that easily well. Just as quickly as you can move a door, you can also turn a kitchen from functional to dysfunctional.

What was meant about the door is that it is currently still drawn there, but we will only plan the kitchen soon, and depending on what works best for the kitchen, it will be placed accordingly in the plan.

I’m lost here too.

That was the explanation why this wall is planned. The wall separates the bay window (and thus the house) from the bicycle garage. That is why this bay window part counts towards the ground floor area. That allows the knee wall to be higher than if the bay window is omitted and the whole "appendage" is called a bicycle garage. I could have simply left that info out and not drawn the wall. Probably would have been less confusing but also less honest.

That’s why it is a bicycle garage.
