Single-family house floor plan 170 sqm for 4 persons with garage

I find the floor plan very successful and am reading very interested, as the house and roof type as well as room requirements almost exactly correspond to my own (future) ones. In particular, I am very curious whether it is actually feasible at the estimated costs - I am almost skeptical about that. A few thought experiments, following my personal preferences: I would swap kitchen and living room to bring more light (south) into the kitchen. There I would then pull the kitchen further down on the plan because I don't like a direct line of sight between living room and kitchen. For that, one would probably have to swap guest bathroom and study. At the same time, also swap bedroom and bathroom in the attic to have a bathroom above a bathroom. That would also solve the south-bedroom problem.

The arrangement of the rooms naturally also has a lot to do with it - especially on the ground floor - that the garage with side entrance is on the right side.

The doors in the entrance hall are poorly arranged, so a reasonable wardrobe for 4 people is not possible. I would move the office door and plan a built-in closet or large hallway closet by the stairs,

you probably mean moving the door all the way down. We had that idea too, but then we'd lose space in the guest room again... but you are absolutely right, currently it's difficult with wardrobes. At the moment we think this will be enough for future guests and our stuff will then disappear into the storage room/utility room/guest room

Height ground floor 2.44? That would be too low for me, especially if it is a large room

Higher is actually always possible. But then it's easily 3,000€ more.

our stuff then disappears in the storage room/laundry room/guest room

So you want to distribute it and be annoyed about it every day? Just so you can better accommodate the shoe cabinet in the office? What a topsy-turvy world

We're tinkering with the topic a bit more

Higher is actually always possible. But then it’s a slim €3,000 more

…and exactly that would absolutely be worth spending in my opinion. Measured by the higher living comfort achieved for the entire living area on the ground floor, the price is reasonable. I am quite sure that these €3,000 would quickly disappear elsewhere, where they don’t have such a positive effect. 2.44m is okay, in the garage you sometimes pay more attention to something like that. You live there 24 hours plus lunch break; THAT would be my top priority, to gain a few centimeters in ceiling height, without it

the arrangement of the rooms naturally also has a lot to do with it - especially on the ground floor - that the garage with side entrance is on the right side

as I said, garage-heavy. We often care more about the garage than about proper living quality. Even shopping is only sometimes, living is always. And carrying shopping for 5 meters is by no means torture.

So you want to spread out and be annoyed about it every day? Just so you can better place the shoe cabinet in the office? What a topsy-turvy world

That’s it! I think that’s nonsense too and doesn’t fit the otherwise successful floor plan. Just before the finish line, unnecessarily taking a short detour… I would refocus on these details again. What is often and what is seldom and what do I imagine worse/better than it actually is; carrying sweaty groceries versus enjoying the 2.44m ceiling height or disturbing guests because I briefly need my winter jacket. Access to the garage is nice but I mostly had no direct dry access from car to house and don’t remember ever standing soaking wet in the hallway because of it. It’s nice but in my opinion overrated.
