Hello everyone,
after reading the "Please-before-setting" thread I am now trying to work along it ;) and ask you for comments/criticism/suggestions on the floor plan sketches for our single-family house.
Development plan/restrictions
Plot size: 1200 m²
Slope: no
Floor area ratio: 0.3
Floor space index: not specified
Building window, building line and boundary: 14x22 m
Edge development: no
Number of parking spaces: 1-2
Number of floors: 1.5
Roof shape: gable roof with so-called Friesian gable
Style: Frisian house
Orientation: ridge line NW-SE
Basement: full basement
Ground floor: approx. 96.7 m², upper floor: 91.2 m² (the roof slopes are not deducted here)
Ground floor: We plan a large living room across the entire width of the house with a small bay window, which should also serve as access to the terrace. On the ground floor are the kitchen (access to the living room via the hallway is desired), an office and a guest WC with shower.
Upper floor: a staircase leads straight up to the upper floor with the 3 bedrooms and the bathroom.
Basement: accessed through the hallway (no separate sketch), there are the utility room, dryer room, storage.
Maybe you can make something out of the information and help us with any possible "operational blindness". Many thanks!
Desert-Sand.

The kitchen is quite large in terms of area, but with the furnishing, it becomes very tight and impractical due to the recess of the WC. (2.20 minus 2 x 60 cm leaves only 1 m of maneuvering space) No space for a wardrobe 3.80 m as width for the living-dining area is already very narrow I would miss windows in the rear corner of the living area The side gables at the front and back don't have an effect because they are too small Where is the front door supposed to be anyway, I can't see it The corner on the upper floor behind the stairs is an expensive space that you can't really use The rooms upstairs, I find the layout quite okay for now, but you can only say more when they are furnished on paper and precisely dimensioned Moreover, I would miss a storage option for everyday things: water crates, toilet paper, vacuum cleaner, mop. Do you want to carry these things up and down to the basement every time Access to the kitchen only through the living room will definitely become annoying over time. We also planned it that way in the first house and regretted it ;-)

As Manu writes, the kitchen is hardly usable in this form. The study ([wird dort wirklich gearbeitet ?]) is huge compared to the other rooms. I would deduct the necessary space for a toilet/bathroom here. The bay window is too small and therefore hardly useful. The view from the outside would be interesting here; I believe, to put it mildly, it does not look good. :( And why are there no windows planned to the right of the bay window? That would also look rather bad from the outside. I am still looking for the entrance; usually, it is in the center of the gable in Frisian houses...

How about moving the garage a few meters forward and creating a (possibly covered) terrace space behind it, which would at least have a west orientation.

I would turn the study into the kitchen. I would at least consider designing it as an open kitchen because that would create a nice, large dining area. If you generally have enough space to eat in the (then 20 m²) kitchen, then that’s okay (depends on the number of people and your mood for celebrating, how often do you have guests...). With an open kitchen, the living room wouldn’t be so narrow and elongated anymore.

I would redesign the study (now where the kitchen was) and the guest WC, and on this occasion create space for a proper wardrobe.

(If the kitchen absolutely has to stay on the left, maybe the stairs can be moved to the other side, then the doors for the WC/study and the wardrobe space would fit).

Oh, that's quite something! Thanks, we need to work on that again. :-)
