Ground plan design single-family house 165 sqm without basement on 400 sqm plot

Here is another idea in the upper floor with the disadvantage that the children's rooms cannot have the wardrobes behind the doors.

Great visualization. Which program are you using?

This is with Homebyme on their website. Quite self-explanatory - I can recommend it! Personally, I prefer pencil and paper, but the young folks here don't get that anymore :p

What does stomach ache mean. It was given as a hint [...] Car directly in front of the platform or has to drive over it to get to the garage. That's all.

"Bauwich" comes from the fact that the building retreats from the boundary. No stomach ache, with or without autocorrect ;-)

Regarding width. The house can be max 10m wide, the current plan is about 9.15. So not much more is possible. Plus, it doesn't hurt if a certain proportionality is granted to the building body. Therefore, the plan is just as it is regarding length, width, and roof pitch. The stairs are not fixed for me. [...] And honestly, I can't currently understand why it would be better to build in stone.

Now don't exaggerate with the golden ratio/Fibonacci. The base plate in the aerial photo will only be briefly enjoyed, and in the finished house you hardly notice it anymore. Stone house = no sill beam problem = house does not have to be higher because of that = platform in front of side entrance vs. driveway would be solved. Otherwise equivalent, i.e., no advantage either. With "platform stairs," the house must either also use the possible width or the stair axis must be in the house axis, or the floor plan will be a fiddle if it is not elegant.

Now don't overdo it with the golden ratio / Fibonacci. You will only briefly enjoy the floor slab in the aerial view, and in the finished house you hardly notice it anymore. Stone house = no sill plate problem = house does not have to be higher for that reason = podium in front of side entrance vs. driveway would be resolved. Otherwise equivalent, i.e. no advantage either. With a "podium staircase" the house must either use the possible width or the stair axis must align with the house axis or the floor plan won't be elegant and that becomes a tricky task.

Yeah, you're right, but it doesn't matter if it still looks good...

So now once again summarized a bit.

The draft is (crap).

I can summarize the following from the posts so far:

- Rethink the stairs, landing stairs are a good alternative
- Office without corners and trash corners
- Open space possibly around the corner to create some privacy in the living area and to ease the cramped situation with the current 8.5m
- Children's rooms could possibly be larger
- Utility rooms possibly on the north side
- Soften the bedroom corridor
- Consider the entrance from the garage side
- Make the house half a meter wider and possibly a bit shorter (width limit 10 m)
- Get 3 quotes

I also have some additional points:
- Hobby room not strictly necessary
- Office can also be upstairs. There is no obligation to have it downstairs.

Furthermore, I recently found it quite clever to keep all water-bearing rooms on the ground floor and upper floor together to avoid plumbing across the house. But according to your suggestions and judgments, I will probably have to part with that and allow the supply and drainage lines to run across the house in favor of a better floor plan.

This is currently my summary of the last ~80 posts

First of all, I think it's really great that you consider all ideas and are open. We have experienced things very differently here and usually lost interest in contributing anything further.

Water/sewage systems stacked are always better/easier - my opinion with some acquired knowledge and a bit of practical experience :)

I already find the suggestions from Hanghaus and Yvonne very good. I would like to "play around" with them a bit more, but despite your explanations, I am still missing some conditions. Please tell me the max. dimensions again, in width and length. 8x12 requires a completely different plan than 9x11. How is the development/building in the south? Do you want as much distance as possible there, or is it indifferent? Your favorite side was the west after your first plan. Is that correct?

Podest stairs ok, or is the straight staircase still the better choice for you? Regarding the straight staircase, I can only mention that we love ours in our long narrow house, but visiting children actually felt uncomfortable and ALWAYS, despite the handrail, also used the contact to the wall for safety when going down.

Making the entrance on the north side next to the driveway to the garage instead of from the east side makes the layout much simpler, especially in a narrow house, but you really have to think that through well, for example that you move the garage door further north and have free space to walk. It doesn't make sense if you almost drive over the first step with the car.

If you like, share more with us. I am sure more ideas and suggestions will come.
