Single-family house 160m² - Second draft

Why is the garage attached to the house exactly at that spot and not placed further forward?

asks Yvonne

: What do you mean by "further pushed forward"? Please specify direction

: So how we imagine the hallway:
When you come in, there are just a few hooks and space for shoes on the left. A bench with room for more shoes and some jackets comes between the utility room and the door to the dining room. That should ease the "backpack situation" a bit.
We'll think about the idea of dividing the utility room in two! That would certainly also look nicer. And if it were a trapped room, it wouldn’t be a problem! How often do you actually need to access the technology.
An exit to the terrace we could at best realize through the office... but that wouldn't be any more practical either...

:
We tried it once! If we put a utility room between bedroom and bathroom, neither the wardrobe in the bedroom nor the large open shower fit in the bathroom.
If I make the access through the dressing room, does the bed then stay where it is in your idea? And then move the wall upwards by the width of the door?

: that’s not possible because we have to maintain exactly this distance from the street...

Left on the wall to the utility room hook for jackets? That’s going to get tight.

A typical everyday situation with us: Child puts on their school backpack in the morning. Mom (that’s me) goes to the door, unlocks it, gives my child a kiss. Sibling comes along, also desperately wants a kiss from the sister. Schoolchild turns around and bam - either mom or sibling ends up with the backpack in the face. Another situation: 4 people come home. The first has to hang their jacket on the first coat rack. Numbers 2, 3, and 4 stand behind and wait. You can’t close the door because number 4 can’t get into the house as long as number 1 is causing a traffic jam at the coat rack.

I don’t know if you are already parents. But from my experience, childless couples often underestimate the enormous space needed for children’s jackets, shoes, hats, scarves, and bags.

I completely agree and above all, there should be the possibility to pass each other at the front door. Also when putting on/taking off clothes or with luggage.

Do different distances apply to the house than to the garage? ????
If possible, I would have liked to plan a nice kitchen window, possibly a terrace in the garage corner....
