Yes, in my opinion it is not quite so easy to say.
Your floor plan would not work for us. You have to imagine that one side of the house with garage + narrow workshop is 8m long and most of the north side of the house is covered.
The staircase must be designed in such a way that the upper floor can later be separated from the ground floor or that you can get directly to the upper floor without having to go through the ground floor.
The kitchen and living room should be in the south. The entrance must be in the west or right there at the corner.

I don’t think the requirements are "standard".
Let’s assume I (or the architect) place the staircase in the middle of the house and the entrance in the middle of the west. Then the kitchen would be on the right (i.e. south).
Above that, then the living room, possibly extending a bit around the corner.

To the left of the front door, there could be a bathroom and utility room, and in the NE corner a guest room. Or the last three rooms mentioned could be positioned differently on the left half of the house. Whatever. Whichever I start with downstairs or end with upstairs. One of the rooms will probably not be able to have a window.
And I also find a central hallway, from which I can access every single room, important.

If someone sketches me an idea sometime, I would really be grateful.

Regards
Mathias

Hmm .. maybe a later separation you haven't mentioned so far

I have sketched something

I always find a kitchen in the east nice, because if the sun is shining in the morning, the day starts off nicer right away.

I am not yet 100% convinced with the gable solution in the children's rooms .. a real architect will surely come up with more ideas to get larger windows on the south side in the children's rooms as well.

Building services and the cloakroom interim storage are now separated.

Staircase as a generous landing staircase. And .. just take a look .. it is really just meant to give ideas, because everything that then becomes very technical in terms of construction, etc., is certainly still very deficient. Whether this balcony on the extension is actually possible has already been doubted above.

Hello,

thank you very much for your draft and the ideas. I really appreciate that. As it is now, the utility room and the extra cloakroom have basically been outsourced from the house to the [Garagen und Kellerersatzbereich]. Of course, there is then more space inside the house. However, this means there is less space there.
Also, you can only go alone or with a maximum of two people into the airlock to hang up jackets. In addition, you cannot ventilate. A window would of course be possible, but then there would be less cupboard space. Everything has its drawbacks.

What is important for us, however, is a separate kitchen with a small seating area and a living room with a dining area combined.
The kitchen should be in the west because from there you can also look out onto the street.
Put differently, we would then be sitting in the living room about 4-5 meters from the street, so anyone could snuggle right up. That is why I have always liked the kitchen as a "protection room."
A straight staircase was also part of our requirements. I had not mentioned that it must be at the entrance. Sorry about that, I thought that was included in the room concepts.

The upper floor has ideas that I will take up.
I will also pay attention to fewer rather than more walls in the garage area; this will make it larger but also potentially messier.
However, the left 3 meters next to the garage may have to be removed anyway because the space in the south is also needed for the garden. So that area is still undecided.

Thanks again, kbt09!!!

You should make sure, however, that storage space is created as much as possible where it is needed.

Your long straight staircase unfortunately has nothing generous about it (especially since it also seems too short to me, and above the first 3 steps is already the bathroom... I don't think that will work well) ... and it is located in the entrance area of the house. Now the staircase landing is the center and pivot point.

The problem with dividing a room of about 6.5 x 6.5 m as a living/dining room lies in the square. A generous dining area should be at least 300 cm, better 350 cm. And then only 300 cm remain for the living area.

I just like eastern sun in the kitchen in the morning for coffee and direct terrace access, specifically where you will be sitting on the terrace. Tendingly, my living/dining/kitchen layout can also be mirrored and the wall shifted. Unfortunately, then it becomes tight again at the kitchen entrance.

I would not overestimate the use of the airlock. That is why I have slightly enlarged the regular wardrobe and placed that area outside the normal "house life." When you come down from above, you don't have to go through the "dirty area" of the entrance.

Overall, my overall plan is already 125 cm narrower than the original plan, since I just scratched the bay window.

Bay window is a point that could possibly be omitted, that is correct.

I also think/know that this square living/dining room is a problem. How can one cleverly manage around the corner without neglecting the other wishes?

On the south side, I have a maximum of 12m, so I somehow have to fit kitchen, dining, and living, or extend one a bit around a corner.

You mean the 12 m in depth?

And, the problem is, you can't just move a room, it always has many effects on everything else.

I just think someone needs to sit down with the floor plan again starting from zero.

And you should really think again about things like whether in a house that big the staircase really needs to start 80 cm next to the main entrance door. Whether all the rooms really need that many corners, etc.
