Floor plan single-family house 136m² with garage & basement

[*]The kitchen has hardly any workspace.
[*]I would enlarge the guest WC around the corner of the garage and put a shower in there if you are planning with 2 children.
[*]I personally don’t find the position of the couch and TV optimal. The TV becomes a room divider. Maybe think again whether you really want it that way.

Maybe I overlooked/misread something, but why are you moving so far north (without necessity?)? I would position the whole thing much closer to the street to really have the garden as private as possible. Bonus points for shorter driveways/paved areas included.

Is it about the tree stock? Is it not possible to obtain an exception in this regard? Possibly based on replacement plantings?

I think the floor plan is quite good. Maybe my predecessors have already written this, but a few details I noticed.

[*]One option would be to extend the workspace around the corner. We would then have to do the pantry differently or not at all. [*]A shower in the guest WC would be a good idea. However, we are of the opinion that we don't need it. [*]Position TV: Even if it is not marked on the plan, if we implement it like this, a wall will be built here. The arrangement is not yet fixed.

Thank you for the input, my opinion on that: No matter how or what I build. It will always be positioned as far north and east as possible. A garden behind the house is of no use to me. I also don't need privacy there. Except for the bathroom, no rooms are oriented in that direction.

It was really just a well-meaning hint – our property is arranged almost identically to yours, and I would definitely not set my house any further back in any way. We also have a front garden with a small terrace on the south side, but that really gives a "showcase plate" feeling (without massive privacy screening towards the street). If you already live or have lived in a similar constellation, then of course you should do/build what makes you feel comfortable. I just think – also looking back at our situation – that people underestimate how sunny, for example, a north-facing terrace really is.
