Location of city villa or single-family house on 500 m2 plot - rectangular

Unfortunately, I have to agree with ypg on all points here. Many rooms that are really awful in terms of the layout. I can hardly think of any improvements, except to start from scratch and do it all over again...

I would orient the house to the N and place a first parking space between the driveway and the east wall. A diagonal orientation can be very valuable because it provides additional sightlines on a small plot. Possibly rotate it differently as well, depending on how it fits, you have to mediate that. And then an affordable standard house with a nice orientation to the sun and garden in the south and west will also fit.

Is there also a cooktop in the kitchen?

No, we never cook!
Yes, of course one should be installed. But I wouldn’t commit to anything yet. It will be installed where it makes ergonomic sense.

Whether those are tall cabinets or countertop, the path in the kitchen is long.
And it remains extremely narrow with chairs, on which maybe someone will still sit.
Try it with a peninsula and the table rotated.

Okay, I’ll try that, but my partner doesn’t like an island.

100 Euros more monthly annuity is easier to handle than sweating out an additional 10K. And 10K is not much for the outdoor area. The time won’t get any cheaper either.

No, that doesn’t work for me. But it doesn’t matter, here it’s about the floor plan, not the financing. Thanks for the tip anyway.

The door to the utility room will not fit under the stairs.

Maybe the program is lying...

And 300K being rather little means that around 155 sqm for that price is quite ambitious. Nowadays you calculate around 2200 Euros/sqm.

Okay.

I don’t find that beautiful at all. Everything is tube-like. I think it’s planned in the wrong direction (access from the short side), so only elongated rooms result.
The hallway is narrow and becomes a bottleneck with a coat cupboard.
Children’s rooms are only half as big as the number suggests.
I also don’t know: utility room and guest WC get lovely evening light in summer. The way you badmouth this side of the plot, it’s definitely not like that. I rather see the east here as unattractive.
How do you imagine the parking spots? Parking in front and then around the house?
Why don’t you put the entrance next to the stairs in the NE and have short hallway distances and sensible room layouts?
For example utility room in the NE, guest in the SE, and the living area in L-shape?

So the idea was to also use the strip with the GFL right and have my parking space behind the house (later covered with a carport).
But I will try if placing the house entrance to the NE changes anything.
I’ve also noticed the tube-like shape, that worries me too. Are there other possibilities to loosen up the eternal L-shape? Probably a lintel has to go in anyway due to statics, is it worth extending the too-short walls?

I don’t find the entrance at the back of the house - as seen from the street - so ideal.

Reason, see above.

The postman will have to get used to it, if you often order from the pizza delivery, it might get cold before the entrance is found.

Why? The doorbell and intercom are at the front gate.

Other reasons – see above – also speak for placing the front door to the north, then you can make a better floor plan.

Okay, I have to try around.

Unfortunately, I have to agree with ypg on all points here. Many rooms are really crappy in terms of floor plan. I can hardly think of any improvement except wiping everything clean and starting over...

Okay, and then change what? For example with the external floor plan already?
Because if I throw everything away and start over, more or less the same will come out.

I would orient the house to the north and have a first parking spot between the driveway and the east wall. A diagonal orientation can be very valuable because you get further sightlines on a small plot. Possibly rotate differently as it fits, you have to mediate.
And then a cheap typical house fits nicely with a good orientation to the sun and garden in the south and west.

The garden is already south-west, isn’t it?
I did not understand the parking spot. Can you sketch it?

Thanks and Regards

Oh, HAR is in the north and close to the road for the shortest possible cable routes.

I've also noticed the cramped feeling, it's something that worries me too. Are there other options than loosening up the endless L shape? Probably a cantilever has to be added anyway due to structural reasons, is it worth expanding the too-short walls?

???

Ok, and then change something? Like, for example, on the outer floor plan already?
Because if I throw everything away and start over, more or less the same will come out.

Why? No!

The garden is Southwest now, right?
I didn't understand the thing with the parking space. Can you sketch it?

Your definition of "The garden is Southwest now already..." cannot be applied.
Give it a try.
I also sketched it to the computer, but there you have to be more precise with a template and actually mediate the building, since the building area is not very large.
I'm currently not at the computer timewise...
Don't mess yourself up with a really bad idea now, but your idea is not the best thing in the world, let alone the yellow part... sorry.
