We have inherited an old house on a narrow plot and plan to have this house demolished in a few years to build a new one.
It should be an accessible building (age-appropriate, only ground floor) with about 120 sqm of living space. I would like to have direct access from the garage to the utility room of the house. The plot is 17 m wide and 40 m deep. The street front (residential street, [Tempo 30]) runs along the south side of the 17 m width. On the north side there is a ditch, behind which is a cemetery. On the right and left of the plot are single-family houses on similarly sized plots.
We have no plan how to harmoniously fit our dream house on this plot or how to arrange the rooms. The living room should be at least roughly oriented to the south, without sitting too much "on display" because of the street. But maybe this could be improved with garden design (hedge). Kitchen and living room should be as close to each other as possible. In addition, we need 1 bedroom as well as 2 smaller rooms (office and guest), bathroom, guest WC, and utility room (next to the kitchen). A covered terrace would be nice.
Where can we get ideas without having to hire an architect right away?
