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

. Sorry, my post about the cooktop was actually supposed to continue, but I ran out of time and accidentally pressed reply.

???

What I mean is, there must be a beam somewhere in the room. It sticks down from the ceiling. Can this circumstance be used to extend the beam into the passageway to soften the tunnel-like effect? I don’t like an L-shape because it separates the kitchen from the living area. Then the person(s) in the kitchen are cut off from the rest of the family. Some want that – we don’t. In my opinion, a ceiling lintel could visually create a division that doesn’t immediately separate. But I’m not an expert and would like to know what options there are that don’t overly restrict the room layout at the same time.

Why? No!

What I mean is, if I started from scratch without any hint about what I should basically do differently, I’d end up again where the floor plan is now. Because I can only rely on my own thoughts as long as no others have been communicated to me.
Having the entrance on the northeast side is something like that. I will consider it, although I really liked the idea of the carport and entering the house with dry feet. To make that possible, I actually see the entrance on the short side. Either front or back.
That the entrance is not immediately visible from the street I don’t consider a disadvantage. And because of the short utility runs, I would like the utility/tech room (HAR) at the front and the parking space/carport at the back, so as not to block the nice evening sun. Of course, more windows need to be added to the west side of the kitchen; it doesn’t look good as it is right now.

Your definition of “garden is already...” cannot be applied.
Try it.

Somehow I think we’re talking past each other. Everything at the bottom side of the house is garden facing southwest. The area is maximized by location and floor plan (not square, but with the short side facing the street). Making the house narrower is, I think, out of the question. Moving the house further north is not possible because of the walking, driving, and utility rights. Or I don’t understand what you mean.

I also sketched it on the computer, but you really have to use a template and actually place the building, since the building permit area is not very large.
I’m currently not at the computer...

That might be something regional or technical jargon. What do you mean by “place the building”?
That it stands exactly in the middle of the building permit area? What does that achieve?

Don’t screw yourself into a really bad idea, but your idea is not the best, to say the least, sorry.

No, definitely not, that’s why I’m here and asking for advice. I just don’t understand all the advice given so far. And with all due respect, but “Just build bigger” or “Have one less child” may technically be advice, but they only help me to a limited extent. (That is not aimed at you ).

I would just like to know how I can get the most out of the given circumstances and requirements. That it’s not the perfect plan imaginable, I understand.

? - but not far from the (working) model of

What does the question mark mean here?

Zaba12’s design is actually similar in exterior dimensions, but he has a basement. That gives him space to put all the “stupid” rooms there. Unfortunately, I don’t have that.

Many thanks and best regards

And with all due respect, but "Just build bigger" or "Have one less child" may be formal advice, but they only help me to a limited extent. (You are not meant by this now ).

I would feel addressed. Yes, if you don’t have enough money, unfortunately you can’t multiply so much. Or should I pay for your children now? What if I also want 5? Will you then pay for the 5 children’s rooms in my house? So this may sound harsh now and sorry that it affects you, but it really annoys me when home builders regularly lose touch with reality during planning and plan 20 rooms into a 150m² house that they can’t even afford and that simply don’t fit there. Here, the tiny floor area ratio and parking space issues come on top, so the whole project is already bursting at the seams. A standard for example: But for 300K I don’t think you can get that either.

, Ah, I think I get it now. You mean I should place the whole house diagonally on the plot? So no longer parallel to the street and the property boundaries, but diagonal? That is indeed difficult with the footprint and the building limits. I definitely have to become square and lose about 5 sqm of footprint. I also can't quite see what it would bring me in terms of light, etc. The area north of the house increases as a result, which does not balance out for me the slightly larger area in the west, since that is always on the street side...

Or should I pay for your children now? What if I also wanted 5? Would you then pay for the 5 children's rooms in my house?

Where did I ask for that?! I also didn't plan 20 rooms, nor 5 children. What I asked for were optimization suggestions for the floor plan(!) under the given circumstances. Then guessing to change the circumstances is possible, but I can't get much out of that compared to concrete improvement suggestions for the floor plan. - Entrance to NE, was one I still have to implement. - L-shape for the living area, also a practically feasible suggestion that I don't really like, but I will try it anyway. - House diagonal (if I understood correctly) is also one I will try, but at the moment I don't see the advantages. - Building bigger (which is not possible) - Fewer children (which is highly intrusive) are unhelpful suggestions that I simply ask to refrain from. They have now been said and acknowledged. Thank you very much and regards Tolentino

I didn't understand the thing about the parking space. Can you sketch it?

Better try sketching yours, that doesn't work like that.

That might be something regional or jargon. What do you mean by conveying a building?

No. You place a building within a building plot so that it is optimally positioned.

That it is exactly in the middle of the building plot? What does that achieve?

I didn't write that. I said you should align it diagonally to N, that is North.

Okay and then change what? For example, already at the outer floor plan?
Because if I throw everything away and start over, more or less the same thing comes out.

Because you're trying as an amateur. And an amateur simply doesn't have all the knowledge in their head about what is feasible. You don't even let our ideas get into your head
