What do you think of the idea of having the garage on the boundary and a carport between the house and the garage, referring to the above posted floor plan without a door in the utility room?
I like that idea, we also had it during our discussion (garage, double garage, door, costs). We were inspired by the Kern-Haus Aurelio (you have to google it yourself). However, the tendency is towards a floor plan that allows for an attached long garage and a direct passage from the house to the garage. Otherwise, on the way to the workshop (rear part of the garage), I would have to cross "open field". Those who have a basement can plan differently. Since we are still in the early planning stage, the outcome is open.
The garage/carport combination can be bought ready-made, also from prefabricated garage suppliers.
