Floor plan single-family house ~170m² - still at the very beginning

Alright, less cooking today. But I cook lunch, then bake a cake, and in the evening there will be a pizza.

Which bird were you again?
No one here cares what you have to eat and when.

Stay cool, everyone is allowed to say what they think here. And if they have the time and desire to cook all day, then respect. :)
I also like cooking. But usually only on Sunday, the rest of the week is too busy.

Regarding closed. I also think it smells then. And besides, it usually smells good then. You rarely cook vomit or something like that ;-)

Complaining is always happening! However, it is up to you how you arrange the lighting and garden. And your design is not at all what is generally favored. You didn’t mention other things like light sensitivity, etc.

Yes, maybe we are special. As I said, on my part I agree with you. The better half prefers to "hide" behind the house - in relation to the street. However, the "privacy screen" to the street would definitely be a topic. So something I haven’t dealt with yet. What do you mean by light sensitivity? We tried to build our daily routines into the house. Therefore, for example, the living room is somewhat "hidden." Short distances from the upper floor to the kitchen and laundry. And yes. Three showers are a lot. Since we are patchworkers, I prefer one more than "usual." Also, we spend quite a lot of time outdoors and are often muddy (mountain biking, hiking), so a shower on the ground floor that is easy to reach would really be good. Currently, in the apartment, I take off the muddy clothes on the terrace. To the neighbors’ dismay :-D. Otherwise, I would have to clean too much. One wish was also to have an entrance area where you don’t constantly have to pass through to, for example, go to the bathroom. We like to walk barefoot and you pick everything up and spread it around.

You didn’t write that you don’t like sun/light. From the afternoon onwards, there is only light in your utility room and technology room in the evening, exactly the rooms that would manage fine with north and darkness.

Otherwise, my better half is not a fan of living room, dining, and kitchen completely in one row.

I have been on the "narrow house trip" for a while now.

hm… I favor the design that is oriented to the plot, the rooms then result accordingly. The L has advantages, but so do other room shapes, e.g. spaciousness, light-flooded rooms feel much bigger than dark ones. But everyone has their priorities. Yours definitely are not the sunlight (in the house). However, I’m surprised that you still don’t put the kitchen by the garden, but instead the (even isolated) relaxation area, which is often used only in the evenings by families. In the active area with this design, you look at a garage only 3 meters away or an even closer hedge. That leaves only a 2-meter strip in front of the window. I don’t understand such a choice, that you play around with such a location. Then this sofa area less than 4 meters deep, where the seating area of 60 cm does not show the 3x2 meter sofa. The built-in TV furniture, although it came about ingeniously with the back of the shower, gives you no other arrangement than with your back to the action (despite the wall). Funny, a short garden story: neighbors were here yesterday for a little wine and said that they don’t like sitting “in the back” early in the evening but rather sideways towards the street because it’s livelier there and you can chat with neighbors out for a walk. Different strokes for different folks :) But: long story short: the toilet plus DB hatch is a design mistake.

Really super nice that you take the time. Thank you for that! Tonight we have a bit of quiet time to go through this again. Just out of interest.. Are you actually an architect or something?
