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

We have a massive oak table, it is 2 m long and can be extended to 3.20 m. For four people, the 2 m is more than enough, at family gatherings we turn it 90 degrees and then 10-12 people can sit around it. Currently, the dining table in the planning takes up almost as much space as the entire kitchen. That would not be worth the loss of workspace in the kitchen for me. When there are 5 people in the household, the movement area in the kitchen area, where everyone has to pass through when hunger or thirst calls or when you want to go to the pantry, is really tight.

Sorry, I just can't warm up to it. You have crammed so many wishes into this symmetry box that it pinches and tugs at every corner. My predecessors have already said quite a bit about it. What would be an absolute deal-breaker for me is child 2. A terrible room. I wouldn't spend a cent on it. At first, I thought I would show how to reduce the hallway on the upper floor in favor of the bedroom. But the whole thing is too bad to tinker with.

we are approaching the end of the floor plan planning and thought maybe someone could take a look and give some hints. What we wanted: [...] In the current round, the attached floor plans came out. We would only change minor details here, which is why I thought now is a good time to let others take a look.

The cute en/ne sound substitution I have heard several times, but never seen written. Unfortunately, now is a bad time, because you should have brought us on board much earlier (also significantly cheaper for you).

We actually like these Nordic houses with a central gable and also brick-faced, although we unfortunately gave up the brick facing because apparently nobody does that around here and if they do, it is incredibly expensive. Towards the garden, he advised us against the central bay window because otherwise one side of the terrace would practically lie to the north. [...] I also wanted the knee wall to be as high as possible.

Matjes in the Maultaschen land – that doesn’t have to be. A plaster façade at least softens that. A knee wall "as high as possible" is often also a disservice, so I would remove that requirement from the specification. The here in any case sensitive disturbed symmetry as well, as well as the redundancy of the captains. What should I list here three dozen complaints for, the design is best served with gracious forgetting. Don’t start again with the new beginning by completely reversing the priorities. And spare yourself the basement here, which is not demanded by the site at all. So: all new is done by November!

There is the basement stairs. .

Oops...I completely overlooked that. The more I read here, the more I notice that more and more builders consider certain things necessary, such as a door to the garage, balcony, special roof shape/gable, stair design, and thereby ruin a basically possible, beautiful floor plan or crumple the budget and then, in the end, run out of money and nerves when it comes to the design. But that is exactly what matters: that the rooms fit me perfectly, my habits, the desire for flowers in the house, the designed windowsill, or a certain seating arrangement at the dining table, right up to the topic of TV/audio and wall design. The OP may forgive me, but a house does not look Nordic just because of a certain gable; it requires an entire concept, possibly including clinker brick; exterior design, windows, and the interior, etc., an overall concept. Otherwise, as has often been seen, someone builds some flat-roofed building and therefore believes they live in Bauhaus style or that the occupant of the "city villa" can actually assume they live in a villa. If this leads here in the forum to one or the other builder recognizing these advertising tricks and unnecessary superficialities, maybe we will see more completely normal houses again, but thoughtfully, with real style and also less money spent, yet with a lot of individual imagination. I stand by this: leave out the frills here, choose a suitable floor plan, brick the house in the Nordic style, and also implement the rest of a style, which is why one should deal with its meaning. Then it can also work if you give the style a certain priority, "limit" yourself to essential features, and consistently remove expensive gimmicks. Then you really have a house in the desired Nordic style and not a mix of Gelsenkirchen baroque and Tyrolean Bauhaus. Unfortunately, you only see pictures of earlier projects here in the forum, but there you find some, also more modestly equipped houses with special style and an eye for the beautiful and not these typical must-haves of today. And...where clinker is typical for the building type, you also find people who can do it.

A few years ago, it still had to be the "Einliegerwohnungen," now it is the two home offices. Maybe there is some envy speaking from me, since I can work from home at most one or two days a month, but when I think about how much more it costs in construction and that the employer basically saves that, it is really a double-edged sword. Especially if one day you have to go back to the office full-time.

Matjes in the land of Maultaschen, that doesn't have to be

Exactly!
Oops... missed something again, just now I read "BW". There we already have the first Pinterest rocket. Of course, not so many people here can do that, because in BW this was practically not built, but e.g. more wood was prioritized. Why does someone imagine a mediocre copy of a Tuscan villa in a residential area on the Baltic Sea coast and then preferably put two Greek columns in front of the door?
Very close to us stands such a bunker, there you can see exactly where the builder had been on vacation before, I could scream laughing every time.
Just build what the local companies can do and put your energy into a great floor plan, there is so much room for improvement.
