If you want bedrooms downstairs, then the bathroom is poorly located there, as Haydee and YPG have already explained after me. Neither the bedroom upstairs nor downstairs can be furnished and used well considering the size of the house. Upstairs you will have problems with wardrobe placement, sloping ceilings, etc., the room will seem awkward; downstairs there are similar problems. What does "often" mean ... because of guests? Wouldn't it be more sensible to design the living/sofa/TV area solo and instead have a generous cooking/dining area, whereby the cooking area can be somewhat secluded. But then you can really use a table situation well, since even a nice table for 6 people already takes up space. And, if you talk about east or west or anything else, then please only do so if you also give the plan a north arrow; otherwise, it is always better to write plan right, plan left, etc. Because left and right are clear ;) ;).

This is a good indication of the location. Accordingly, the living room faces east and only gets a small window to the south. I imagine that to be dark. Since I don't know the plot, I can't say anything about the location. The east-west orientation is generally not my first preference. The kitchen as a living space gets quite good light – overall, I would make the openings significantly larger because I am a light enthusiast. That can turn out very nicely. The children's rooms are not too large. They can be well structured – school, sleeping, and playing don't compete with each other in one room. Teenagers later have the possibility to hang out together inside as well. I like that. Since it is unclear how your life works and what you are like, it is difficult to give concrete tips. How will the living room be used? Where does life take place in which time of day and year? What are the needs for sociability and retreat? Which hobbies must be taken into account? What is the relationship between the house and residents to the plot/garden – or how will outdoor and indoor life be practically connected? What is your approach to keeping the house clean (if this is a hobby, size and longer distances work in your favor...)? How important are operating costs? What is the preferred furnishing style (and how does that fit the spatial generosity)? The already mentioned location of the toilet next to the master bedroom is less suitable for people who need privacy. I would definitely take a closer look at the issue of daylight in the rooms again; it seems rather limited to me. That sounds extremely optimistic to me; I would have assumed easily four times that amount off the top of my head – especially since large rooms also require a greater ceiling height to have a positive effect and offer living comfort. I have a friend with a 90 sqm living room with 2.8 m ceiling height. I feel both lost and oppressed there at the same time. For large rooms, I think of space to let furnishings come into their own. The standard price segment offers little choice and is designed for standard room sizes. Since the budget suggests that money is not a generously available resource, I would take that into account in the planning. Overall, I do not quite get the information. The drawing is professional and serious, and without further information, it simply does not seem to fit the budget, after all, Poland is no longer a cheap country and is subject to some expensive EU standards in construction as well.

I’m glad the style appeals. We are planning beaver tail tiles and covered dormers. :) You’re not wrong about the play corridor; that’s probably how it will turn out. We planned the two bathrooms upstairs so the three kids don’t get on each other’s nerves in the morning. Our bedroom will be upstairs in the first years until the children are a bit older. We have planned large walk-in closets for the children’s rooms and our bedroom, so we wanted to save a separate walk-in room. I chose the nickname because I originally come from Minga. :cool: But I don’t build there; I build in Poland. Thanks! I will do some planning over the weekend. ;)

It hadn't even occurred to us so far that the bathroom should/must be next to the bedroom.
Do you maybe have an idea how it could be done differently for us? ;)

A separate kitchen is an explicit wish of my wife because she can't stand cooking smells.
A sliding door between kitchen and living room is still up for debate.

I did mark the cardinal directions and house entrance on the site plan after all. :p

As said, we want to enlarge the terrace doors as well as the east window in the living room.
A living room in the west would probably have been better, but there we have a forest path and thus less privacy.

We are often in the garden during the warmer months, tinkering and enjoying the weather. The lawn has to be mowed, but that takes about 2 hours every 1-2 weeks.
Luckily, I have largely automated the irrigation. For hobbies that need a lot of space, we have a workshop in the outbuilding.

I don't know what our furnishing style is called; we like a lot of wood but no "heavy" wooden furniture.

For operating costs, I calculate about 2500 euros/year, but after the house is built we will counteract this with a photovoltaic system to bring these down to zero.

We will definitely look at the daylight situation room by room again!

We are lucky that we have several tile, window, parquet, and furniture manufacturers within 20-30 km and can thus source a lot locally and cheaply.
Furniture is definitely planned so that it does not "get lost" in the room.

Wages in Poland have more than doubled in the last 15 years, but they are still about one third of what you earn in Germany. Thus, services are especially much cheaper here than in Germany. As an example: two years ago a 3-year-old house with 150 sqm plus 3000 sqm plot right by a nature reserve was sold nearby for 80,000 euros.
The budget will work out. We have already fenced the plot. In the outbuilding, we have already installed all the utilities, i.e., water, electricity, heat pump (including well and drilling). For the house, we only need to plan a second heat pump module here.

Well ... what do you want from us now? You can't just move a bathroom back and forth like that. Food smells tend to travel from the kitchen to the dining table ... so it would be much better to have kitchen/dining together and separate living/sofa/TV from that to concentrate the smells in one room ;). Is there no floor plan with a north arrow?
