Single-family house, gable roof 25 degrees, 2.2m knee wall

Another garage party again. What do you want to celebrate there and why? I think it's totally trashy. All the junk and the cars are just in the way. Do your guests puke or pee in the corners instead of going to the toilet? Do they throw glasses against the wall or have cake fights? Nothing against a proper party – but I'd much rather set up a beer tent in the garden.

Should the windows on the upper floor have roller shutters? Then about 30 cm must be factored in. And windows that then have a top edge at about 200-210 cm (glass) on the ground floor have, due to the reduced room height, a height of 170-180 cm on the upper floor. Ground floor clear room height assumed to be about 250 to 255 cm.

As you can see, you see nothing. Dimensions?

Is this okay or are you missing a dimension?

Is this okay or are you still missing a measurement?

Great.
The plot is just quite small. You really have to think about whether to rotate the house or divide the area differently. Otherwise, the garden immediately feels much narrower. You’re probably already close to the optimum.

But somehow the whole thing still doesn’t feel coherent. Let’s see if there’s still potential.

Umm... well, in our area, newly developed plots of 544 sqm are almost considered large landowners.

Personally, I find the plot and the placement of the house good. Narrower towards the street and wider in the southern area where the garden is. Sure, a garage costs ground space, but the garden is separated towards the street. Everything I noticed about the floor plan has already been mentioned. I definitely also prefer version 2. I would likewise miss a wardrobe at the entrance. I also don’t find the utility room and “mudroom” that elegant. You are already changing the windows. Overall, apart from the addressed and already discussed things, I find it solid... but if I’m honest, a bit boring too. Of course, that’s a matter of taste! Overall, it was kind of like I looked at the floor plan and views a few times and thought... the budget is good, 160 square meters is not little... yeah. I don’t see anything in the floor plan that struck me as clever, and the views (maybe also because of the Sims look :-P) didn’t really excite me without me saying anything is absolutely no-go. I believe with your conditions, more sophistication would be possible. But as I said - it’s a matter of taste - and you have to want that too.
