Floor plan single-family house approx. 200 sqm without basement, Bauhaus style

Hello everyone, we are in the first discussions for the house planning. I am not yet satisfied with the current floor plan for various reasons. I think the living space can be used much better and more efficiently. I look forward to your suggestions and ideas:

Development Plan/Restrictions
Size of the plot 754 sqm
Slope 1m height difference
Floor area ratio 0.3
Site occupancy index 0.6
Building window, building line and boundary 10.5 x 15.5 (pure house placement area due to planned attic)
Edge development
Number of parking spaces
Number of floors 2
Roof shape: flat roof
Style: Bauhaus style
Orientation: south
Maximum heights/limits:
Further requirements

Requirements of the builders
Style, roof shape, building type: clear lines, modern
Basement, floors: no
Number of people, age: 37, 3-4 persons
Space requirements on ground floor and upper floor: approx. 200 sqm
Office: family use or home office? 2 offices, one of which also serves as a guest room
Guests per year: approx. 10
Open or closed architecture: open
Conservative or modern construction: modern
Open kitchen, cooking island: open, cooking island
Number of dining seats: at least 6
Garage, carport: attic planned
Further wishes/special features/daily routine, also reasons why this or that should or should not be: air space, 2 offices desired, sufficient storage space since no basement is planned, large hallway area

House design
Who is responsible for the planning:
- Planner from a construction company
What is particularly liked? Why? All room wishes were fulfilled, air space in a good position with large window front

What is not liked? Why? Corridor too long, wardrobe too far from entrance area, terrace access only around the corner behind dining table (but with two large lift-and-slide doors there), utility room without window, kitchen only accessible via living room, swap of utility room with guest room planned, little seating area in living room,

Price estimate according to architect/planner: 630k
Personal price limit for the house, including equipment:
Preferred heating technology: air-to-water heat pump

If you have to do without, which details/extensions
- you can do without: straight staircase
- you cannot do without: 2 offices

Why did the design turn out the way it is now?
All room wishes were fulfilled, but not yet optimally planned. Modern look (especially the house corner in the southwest)

What makes it particularly good or bad in your eyes?
A lot of wasted space, long corridors, room sizes not balanced, little seating area in living room, terrace access blocked

Attached is our "wish list"

[*]Living area from approx. 180 sqm
[*]Large, open kitchen-dining/living room with > 45 sqm
[*]Kitchen with adjacent pantry (door hidden as built-in cabinet)
[*]Guest room with space for double bed and desk (simultaneous use as Office 1)
[*]Guest bathroom with floor-level shower
[*]Technical room with space for laundry (washing machine, dryer)
[*]Sufficiently large entrance area with wardrobe
[*]2 children's rooms of approx. 14 sqm each (min. 12 sqm)
[*]Office 2 upstairs (small)
[*]Master bedroom with dressing room
[*]Bathroom with tub, shower, toilet, double washbasin
[*]Sufficient storage and warehouse space
[*]Air space above dining area would be nice
[*]Photovoltaics with storage
[*]Air-to-water heat pump with cooling function
[*]Double garage

Miscellaneous

[*]Basement?
[*]Building window according to attachment (building plot 28/28), if necessary use corner in building window as best as possible in the floor plan
[*]Roof shape still open (modern, flat, shed, very flat gable roof)
[*]We really like Bauhaus style, clear lines

Upstairs, the two doors to the bathroom bother me. First, the children close the door to the master bedroom and forget to open it, then the teenager’s friend is in the bathroom and hasn’t closed the second door. The hallway and bathroom are larger than a child’s room. I find the rooms a bit small for the size of the house. Have you considered where to put a cabinet for towels, cosmetics, and hygiene products in the bathroom?

Doors also always create walkways. You can see that in the utility room downstairs. Between the two doors, you could also write hallway.

Measurements are missing.

Draw the desired furniture to scale on the floor plan. Take the house technology, for example. You need a heat pump, circuit breakers, house connections, washing machine, dryer, cleaning supplies, tools. Where should the Christmas decorations be stored? The clothes, the toys until they move from K1 to K2? Does the freezer fit into the pantry? Those things need space.

The double bed in the guest room looks quite narrow.

Attached is still our "wish list"

Funny... it wasn't visible to me yet when I looked at the draft.
And I said to myself: all the must-haves from this decade included: pantry with a "secret" door with tall cabinet wall, direct passage to the garage, straight staircase, gallery and open space, walk-in shower and privacy wall and so on.
All that media and Pinterest show so that industry and craftsmanship can keep selling their new things.

And then you get it, I mean in the draft, and then this comes:

I think the living space can be used much better and more efficiently.

Yes, sure! But all wishes backfire if you don’t slim down or even don’t appreciate them here, ending up dissatisfied.
It’s like a wardrobe with all the must-haves from InStyle: you can no longer see the combinations because many things are just special, but there is a lot.

I also find some things not really well solved or even doubled.

First of all: it’s roughly or just under 240 sqm of house we see there, including open space.

I consider the garage too small for the direct passage and yes, there is a hallway area between the doors.
There is actually no real need for a large pantry (since vegetable cultivation is not planned, the kitchen is big).
Frozen storage as a utility room — I would rather convert the pantry into a utility room. Ultimately, a utility room is a utility room. "Kitchen stuff" belongs there. But of course with a proper functional door.
Cabinets in the cloakroom are too far from the front door.
The living room, i.e., chill zone, is here a daily passage, so the liveliest zone.
Kitchen is not connected to the terrace. It really belongs to the terrace more than the walk-in closet does to the bedroom.
The two doors to the bathroom are not functional in everyday life (already mentioned by ).
Privacy wall in the toilet can be well solved with the shower in the L. Walk-in closet is too bulky, kids’ rooms are disproportionately too small.
The open space is just a cut-off room upstairs, which is ungrateful inside with panoramic windows letting in too much good southern sun.
You can’t regulate the heat at all with that.
It could be solved nicer.

Slope 1m height difference

Where exactly is the slope to be found in the draft? Where and how is the house supposed to be located?

Here a reduction of about 35 sqm (dining table is 2.40 m long) with your wishes:

Thank you very much for the initial suggestions.

Attached is a representation of how the position of the house on the plot is planned.
The dryer and washing machine are to be placed in the utility room, where ironing etc. will also take place. Accordingly, the utility room also needs a window, which is currently blocked due to the overly long garage (9m). The construction company says that there is no problem with the heat pump (ventilation through the wall), but because of the laundry situation, a window is important to me.
The elevation is visible in the drawing; the plot slopes slightly from 429 to 428m.

How could the airspace be better solved? Do you think the heat development is too extreme with the panoramic windows?
We like the look of the southwest corner (see attached picture), but of course we still want to maintain a feel-good atmosphere in the house ☺️

How could the long hallway on the ground floor be avoided? Especially if the stairs down are closed off, it is almost 5 meters of hallway length as a narrow corridor. Possibly a breakthrough into the kitchen?

I personally find dining tables in rooms with open space above somehow uncomfortable. It already starts with having to come up with special constructions for the lamps over the dining table. And I always wonder what happens to the "wasted" air space in the upper floor, especially since dining table noises then also travel upwards.

Who exactly is supposed to use the small gallery seating area?

Compare your plan with Yvonne's plan reduced by a few square meters (because now it is 210 sqm plus open space). The kitchen location with direct terrace access, the larger children's rooms, and on the upper floor a hallway space that, for example, the children could also use. And, 210 sqm plus open space and corresponding features like the large window areas, I also find estimated at 630 kEuro ambitious.
