New single-family house approx. 174 m² floor plan architect

The space would be sufficient to rotate the bed.

about the bedroom: you write ok... Advantages of change: - you don’t have hot southern sun in the room, but bright eastern sun - you look AT the bed when entering and not beside it. That is the chocolate view of a bedroom! - You don’t sleep ok, you sleep great!

Because of the bedroom and east instead of south-facing windows as well as the bed arrangement, I explicitly sign again with Yvonne.

Regarding the living room ... I prefer the L-shaped layouts over the elongated variants. This usually allows for a real retreat area in the living space. As you planned the L, the room can actually be properly separated.

If you also want to use the utility room as a mudroom etc., then I find the utility room door as in the original plan very sensible. One could do a very clever kitchen planning there. And as said, I would definitely try to relocate the sewage shaft from the upper floor to the utility room area.

I would shift the house dimensions slightly to 1045x975 so that the stair area and the living room depth become a bit more pleasing. Also, every centimeter counts in the space next to the car in front of the house (in my opinion, this is a bitter pill that I would only swallow if usually only one car parks on the property).



Whether to actually plan a kids' bathroom at this house size, I am torn. On the one hand, it is located above the living room either way, and the drainage would have to be well planned. On the other hand, there is no longer a shower downstairs with this layout.

I have the feeling that the size of the plot is overestimated in the L-living space discussion, or some just lack an overview. The so quiet and cozy location in the rear L is completely relativized in my opinion when you draw in the top view including the expected edge development of the neighbor.
I took my sketch and simulated the living room in pink:



If you now also imagine the planned corner windows from #1, it becomes even more absurd. How nice does the location at the garden seem then, right?

I am a confessed kitchen fan and unfortunately do not like U-shaped kitchens in this form at all. Also, the utility room can hardly be used as an extended kitchen as the OP described. I like real kitchen islands, which are not so easily possible here. Ultimately, it really depends on personal preferences... when living space is actually used for which purpose.

I do indeed like the L-shape. The location by the street has something of Dutch or English lifestyle - it is very common and desirable there. The interplay with the bright basement room below creates a good tension. The space next to the car in the carport becomes larger if you park in such a way that only the driver’s side doors can be opened towards the house. Very nicely planned and apparently the result of good collaboration with the architect. I wish you an equally pleasant construction phase as we had! Great project.

Thank you for your effort! I think it's good to take a step back regarding the exterior dimensions and the layout. We still need to compile feedback today and discuss whether this is a solution.

And we are not deluding ourselves, it is a new development area and in my opinion, these are hand towels, not bath towels. But unfortunately, there's nothing else here :-(.

Thank you! mini
