Floor plan opinions single-family house 140 sqm 2 full floors

That didn’t bother you before either, that everything also goes through the dirt zone (because it doesn’t only affect the stair landing, but also the WC). You can keep such points in mind, but not everything is possible, even on 140sqm, which is not a criticism of the size here, just a reminder that you simply cannot implement everything that is possible in a house over 160sqm.

I don’t see it that way with the first floor plan. There the immediate dirt zone is to the left of the entrance with the cloakroom and to the right of the entrance are the stairs and the toilet. The hallway is not massively wide, ok, but you don’t walk 100% through the dirt.

In addition, there is still the entrance through the utility room (dirt lock) planned.

So I do feel there is some difference.

I am surprised that you are so generous with the necessary dimensions in the outdoor area, almost exaggerated. A parking space needs approximately 2.50 plus movement space (I remind you of garages, which are uncomfortable but still manage with 2.70 inside).
And inside you add 20cm. Pressed against the wall there is nothing that can be furnished anyway. With plaster on the wall you should plan about 15cm less than the indicated dimension.

Simply answered. Outside the square meter costs more, but not 2000€. At some point there is a limit reached. And whether the carport will be built like that, I leave open for now. What is applied for, I can eventually build at least. Maybe a double garage will also be added to the design and the carport reduced. But for now I wanted it to be realistic in the design.

So limiting factor money.

No, you have exactly depicted the same situation, only that the entrance and the technical room have been swapped. The other things, including the poorly usable kitchen, you transferred 1:1. We are not talking about a 20cm shift or gain. For that, no new design is needed; it’s about the spatial planning of the kitchen.

Then as an amateur I just don’t understand it. Sorry for that. But then I admit it! As I said, I don’t want anything bigger than about 140sqm. I find a side entrance great, but otherwise I couldn’t realize it differently than on the floor plan I drew. I want a distance of 4m from the TV to the sofa. A large dining table with the dimensions 2x1m should fit in, and ideally one should be able to walk completely around it. I simply like a pantry or as you call it a storage room. I was persuaded that a guest WC does not need a shower. A utility room with a mudroom would be great, but if not, that’s okay too. Terrace obviously facing south. I want most of the light in the dining room and kitchen.

So unfortunately, as a layman, no other floor plan seems possible to me.

Here’s a tip: the stairwell at the start can probably be built over. Nevertheless, swapping bedroom/bathroom is advisable.
You can already see that the upper floor compared to the initial version is the winner here!
I would therefore take the upper floor as the basis for the single-family house: transfer load-bearing walls, make the storage room, which you lovingly call pantry, easier to access (relocate), and start the open living area earlier, thereby gaining space.

As mentioned above. I don’t come up with any other idea then. Except swapping kitchen and living room. I can take another look at that. Even though I don’t like this kitchen shape with the counter, but I’ll try to draw it.

I don't know what you mean by that. Therefore, I probably couldn't answer them.

You apparently disregard part of the building window:

What is applied for, I can at least build sometime.

This pushes the house to the SE boundary

I want to have most of the light in the dining room and the kitchen.

Then I would take a little more distance from this boundary. has already drawn it very sensibly, I think. I could also contribute a bit more, but I am currently on vacation and do not have my graph paper at hand ;) By the way, I am not the only one who supports: kitchen to the terrace. I find it a charming idea to place the terrace in the SW and then use the planned enlarged roofing, which is planned on the west, occasionally for dining in the summer. It does not have to be as big as currently drawn. Then the living room moves to the SE, where you can have nice daylight in winter. The pantry can go under the stairs, and the utility room moves to the east.

You apparently disregard part of the building envelope:

Yes, I hadn’t realized that. But it doesn’t help me with my actual matter regarding the floor plan. Apparently everything fits. Whether it’s 9.5x9.5 or rather 10.5x8.6. But apparently my idea does not match the size.

@hanghaus2023[/USER] has already drawn it very sensibly, I think. I could contribute a bit more, but I’m on vacation and don’t have my graph paper handy ;) By the way, I’m not the only one who supports: kitchen by the terrace. I find it a charming idea to place the terrace in the SW and then use the planned enlarged roof, which is planned on the west side, to sometimes eat outside in summer. It doesn’t have to be as large as currently drawn. Then the living room moves to the SE, so it gets nice daylight in winter. The pantry can go under the stairs, the technology moves to the east.

The terrace is out of the question for us. It’s a mountainous region. In the evening, the sun sets behind the elevation and the forest. The west is only ideal for a short time in midsummer. But most of the year it’s too cold or not sunny.
