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

A house does not appear Nordic just because of a certain gable, but it requires a whole concept, possibly including clinker bricks;

From my point of view, most "Münsterland Frisian houses" are obvious fakes, not least because of the lack of thatched roofs, and for me, something must also not be added to keep it authentic: in seafaring, a "second captain for reverse maneuvers" is unknown. Besides, Sylt (or should I say "Süllt" analogously to the Hornbach style and replacement villas?) has somehow been less positively connoted since Döp dödödop.

There is such a bunker very close to us, where you can exactly see where the builder had been on vacation before, I could roar with laughter every time.

On the Middle Rhine, groups of identical terraced houses stand "opposite" each other in Bad Bodendorf (cathedral side) and Bad Hönningen (Deutzer side), although due to the distance from the river they cannot be seen from each other. Their designer is probably a fan of Spain.

In Baden-Württemberg, I would not use clinker bricks at all; that would seem to me entirely like a yodel diploma folklore. I would only make a "captain" on the garden side here, possibly rather in the golden ratio than centered, and plaster the house white. Perhaps a conversation door, bridal door, or (maybe in the garden?) a grand gate could be introduced as a symbolic element of Nordicness without looking ridiculous. A bench in front of the house is definitely possible. Or a piece of Frisian wall.

I’ve heard the cute en/ne sound swap quite a few times, but have never seen it written down before

It was actually just a typo. It happens to me more often with the new keyboard, especially I often capitalize the second letter when the first one is capitalized.

In general, I am of course interested in all answers. The statements here are often contradictory, which is somehow to be expected here, but the range from "nordic stays in the North, let people here do what they can" over "I always laugh when I see the Tuscany house with columns" to "if already North, then properly" is quite huge.

A small attempt at explanation on my part, then I would simply overlook everything related to the "style" in the future.
A complete northern house in our area is of course strange. We accept that it rather doesn’t fit here. But that doesn’t diminish the good feeling we have when we spend our vacation in the North every year. We would like to bring that feeling home, so that coming home might feel a bit like a vacation. Accordingly, that is our wish around which everything must be planned. Otherwise, I might as well buy a standard house with a gable roof off the shelf, with the most sophisticated floor plan and an outlet at the planned spot each time. That’s not what we imagine under a home.
I thought one would get practical tips here on how to improve what already exists (swap room x with room y, make wall z at 45° so the corner at child 2 is softened). Comments like "this is so bad that I won’t say anything" are fine to stay like that: say nothing. Because it doesn’t help us and it will be filtered out anyway.

And skip the basement here that the site doesn’t require at all.

That’s something again. Yes, I even know the 10% per 20cm rule. But if I plan the house with the storage space I need, the entire upper area is built over. We just don’t like that. Filling the valuable space on the ground floor with technology. We find that a waste of space.

Otherwise, thanks again for the individual helpful comments.

Well then, I'll throw one in. Similar floor area and an extremely similar exterior view, which is so important:

I'll skip the basement since it is unproblematic with a half-turned landing. Please note, these are sketches.

I am personally very bad at throwing things away (also one reason for separate apartments with my significant other), but the cellar shown here is not exactly a champion of space efficiency. If you know the rule, you also know the impact on the budget (you could spend a lot of North Sea vacations on it).

That is indeed very unfortunate, to "filter out" such valuable comments: it is really wasted lifetime for everyone involved including the readers, to list all points of criticism one by one, when in short the conclusion was to forget the whole plan best and start over. So far only fees have been wasted (which could have been avoided with earlier community involvement) and nothing else has been ruined, so I won’t throw more time at it. I am capable of evaluating such plans very quickly and save my clients a lot of money with it, here in the forum even in the open consultation. Of course, one must also be able to recognize the value of a free gift, otherwise such a gift is useless.

I’m skipping the basement since it’s unproblematic with a half-spiral landing.

But you really nailed something there. Thanks a lot for that. You even adopted the twisted couch (presumably as an homage).

That’s something too. On the one hand, railing heights are criticized or how the couch is positioned or the shower. I have so far deliberately overlooked that because I thought that would come in the detailed planning. That’s what I thought. I’m not demanding that every plan be elaborated if it’s going to be changed anyway. On the other hand, according to some, I’m late again. I think I came at the right time. Although energy has already gone into the floor plan, not so much that you can’t move away from it anymore. And I didn’t want to come with a rough sketch either, since many things aren’t precise enough yet to talk about them properly.

For example, I haven’t really looked at the basement; it’s arranged quite quickly anyway.

Yes, I found that original and the longer I think about it, the better I like it. Who still watches TV together these days? Everyone just looks at their own phone. So you might as well orient the sofa towards the garden and look into the greenery.
