Have you ever slid a safety glass door? That’s no picnic. However, I agree with you that you can make a glass section. But will you then get everything as you want it? But that’s exactly what I mean: every detail is replanned and adjusted, even though the house might already work. And suddenly you have a labyrinth or 2 small flaws you can live wonderfully with, 8 others. But at least you get the Pinterest ideas in. I consider cooking aromas rather secondary. And if there’s fried fish, you use the extractor hood. Or you just live with the lovely smell. It will go away again.
But moving away from sliding doors, everyone should get one wherever they want it.



The plan explains that and the fact that you want the utility room as a buffer zone.
While I’m writing this: where exactly is the freezer room???

It’s probably more of a detail and not relevant for the design, maybe just as you describe, it will turn out later in the process that it simply doesn’t make sense. Therefore, remain open to wishful thinking vs. reality.
I had thanked you for that and asked a question, would you like to answer it?

Every 2-3 days, actually, shopping larger or smaller takes place, mostly for the fridge or freezer, by bike or car. That’s why in the draft I connected the utility room both with the kitchen and the entrance. I’ll simply upload the photo again. :) But maybe even here the distances are still too long and the entrance too dark. What do you think?

The architect suggested placing the terrace in the southwest and thus the garage on the other side, so on the left side of the plan. The technician should be at the back in the garage according to the planner, but what is drawn makes no sense. The heating should be inside the thermal envelope; if anything, then the indoor unit and inverter or battery could go back there.

Which question? The question was probably too detailed for me, as I refer to the sketch note.


If you mean the garage question, whether to push it or not: you can, but you don't have to. Window option is available.

Your sketch? I'll put it this way: sketches are basically quite useful if they are drawn more or less proportionally. They don't have to be to scale, because then they wouldn't be sketches. Still, the proportions should be somewhat correct. If you add up the rooms and doors, plus an access, wardrobe and stairs vertically in the plan, then we estimate a hallway depth of at least 6 meters (not even Dieter Bohlen has that). Yes, it is at least dark at stair height. The kitchen and dining area wing up to the living room would be about 13 meters wide, if you consider 4 meters for the living room depth and also add the stairs as well as the bathroom and wardrobe across the plan.
Don’t be offended, but according to the sketch this connecting corridor utility room/hallway should be removed first and foremost. And with the sketch you have to expect that the architect will really leave very little.
A room program is best defined in words like: “Living room preferably quietly located and yet very bright.” Or “Dining area sunny and a bit more space for the children to play on the ground floor, which can be observed from the kitchen during daily work.”

Yes, that makes no sense.

Yes, very bad synergy if the client does not let themselves be guided. no: enlarging is never the solution at first! A design relates in size, equipment, and style to the plot and the mentioned budget. Therefore, something like enlarging is not the solution at first. Yes, of course a roof window brings a lot of light. Even more than a gable window of the same size!

Although I quote the question, I will come back to it later. Understandable, if you want to have as much lawn or garden as possible at the back, especially if the plot isn’t very large anyway. But I don’t understand that, since a) you want to avoid having to access the house along the length, because that would make the hallway correspondingly long. Furthermore, you plan conservatively with a central bay window, which b) offers itself as a central entrance. If you also consider that c) a side entrance is planned anyway. I tried to plan your desired sketch. Guest room to the right side, utility room instead of guest, second and third door added. Kept the bay window at the top due to the depth of the dining area, moved hallway walls so that a wardrobe has space, fiddled around the stairs and what do you get? 95 sqm, but no conventional upper floor and way too much hallway space. Then it was probably the case that the open plan living area was perceived as too small and yes, the utility room passage was insisted on and thus the freezer room at the bottom right is not wanted. So you move the living room into this corner, but that makes the house even bigger because the utility room and guest room on the left side can’t both fit. So you relocate the entrance to the left side and the guest room to the bottom side. This makes the hallway, as already said, very long and it also has to bend. All of that is accepted so that the utility room can serve as a passage. Then the kitchen is bulged out a bit with a bay window because the 3-meter width is not satisfactory with an island. However, the freezer room moves behind the garage because the actual freezer room is getting smaller and the sluice function is very important. Here, actually, there would be space for a normally beautiful house design, which probably does not express the desire for a lot of space. I recommend a fresh start and rethinking that you won’t starve without a sluice. Here again my disaster design based on your sketch

If the TV is not really the main focus anyway, and considering

I would especially think about sensibly separating the sofa/TV area.

Because after cooking, the food is served, and you would open a door between the kitchen/dining area anyway, and any remaining odors would spread to the dining area simply from the food at the table. Therefore, it’s better to try to properly separate the sofa/TV area, which also creates the possibility to better organize access to the terrace from the dining/kitchen area and thus better supervision of children.
