Single-family house floor plan approx. 180m2 - Please provide feedback

Hello everyone,

we want to build a two-story building on an old garage on the property (old commercial building of my grandparents) in Austria (the base slab is there and it is structurally buildable).

The floor area is 11.08x8.22m.

Since we have a hall connected on two sides, no windows are possible on the two sides (north and east) on the ground floor (except for a raised window opening above the dining table). The wall facing south adjoins my grandparents' garden. Therefore, I do not want any windows here either, to avoid looking into a "foreign" garden. Except at the entrance, here I would add an angled wall, and the window overlooks a small light well.

The plan was drawn by me and is now to be handed over to a planner for the submission plan. But I would be interested in your opinion beforehand.

Further information:
You can enter the already built hall through the utility room. Everything with technology will go into the hall.

The wall with the glass surfaces on the ground floor faces west and into the garden. The entrance is only possible from the side through the garden.

On the first floor, the view towards east/north/west is a dream, so we have planned large windows here. This would be the bedroom and office.

The terrace is to be roofed with a concrete slab about 1.70m deep, extending to the entrance. The area where you sit will then additionally be roofed with glass, so that it is more sheltered and still lets in light.

If any information is missing, please let me know.

Otherwise, thank you very much in advance for your thoughts

Also, it is best to sketch all adjacent buildings as rectangles as well as the entire property including parking spaces, access roads, and cardinal directions.

Basically, regarding the reuse of a basement: Has its load-bearing capacity/statics been checked and does it allow for two floors with the chosen material?

Hello everyone,
We want to build a two-story house on an old garage (the foundation slab is there and structurally buildable) on the property (old commercial building of my grandparents) in Austria.

The footprint is 11.08x8.22m.

Since we have a hall connected on two sides, no windows are possible on those two sides (north and east) on the ground floor (except for a raised window opening above the dining table). The wall facing south adjoins my grandparents’ garden. Therefore, I do not want any windows here either, to avoid looking into a “foreign” garden. Except at the entrance, here I would add a slanted wall, and the window looks into a small light well.

The plan was drawn by me and is now to be handed over to a planner for the submission plan. However, I would be interested in your opinion beforehand.

Additional information:
Through the utility room you can access the already built hall. Everything with technology is in the hall.

The wall with the glass surfaces on the ground floor faces west and the garden. The entrance is only accessible from the side via the garden.

On the 1st floor, the view towards east/north/west is a dream, so we have planned large windows here. This would be the bedroom and office.

The terrace is to be roofed with an approx. 1.70m deep concrete slab extending up to the entrance. The area where one sits will then be additionally roofed with glass, so it is more protected but still lets light in.

If more information is missing, please let me know.
Otherwise, many thanks in advance for your thoughts [ATTACH alt="IMG_3971.jpeg"]89656[/ATTACH]

House design
Who is the planner:
- Do-it-yourself

What do you especially like? Why?
What do you not like? Why?
Price estimate according to architect/planner:
Personal price limit for house, including equipment:
Preferred heating technology: heat pump, underfloor heating, and cooling

If you had to do without, which details/extensions
- can you do without:
- cannot do without: office with a view, large glass area facing the garden

Why has the design turned out the way it is? E.g.
Personal wishes mixed with spatial conditions.

Why don't you want a washbasin in the upstairs bathroom? This causes the door handles of the WC and bathroom to become virus spreaders. I personally find that unhygienic.

Thanks for the hint. I have now filled it out and added as much as I could.
Statically, the slab was checked by a master builder and is fine. Since it used to be an agricultural building, tractors etc. could also drive on it.

Where is north? Where are the halls? I see something different on the drawing than you described. Lost in the trees: where would the entrance be? Please show everything including halls and property.
