Single-family house with basement, solid construction, floor plan evaluation

My recommendations, since many have already written something about the planning: 1. Think through the paths! You will walk the paths in your own house hundreds of thousands of times. Are the paths coherent? Complicated? Or even very impractical? (Example: The path to the toilet upstairs from the bedroom is really, no matter which "airlock" you choose, really unfortunate.) 2. Do the rooms fulfill their function? Or does it become difficult somewhere? (Example: Relatively narrow paths in the kitchen and pantry.)

My recommendations, since many have already written something about the planning:
1. Think through the pathways! You will walk the paths inside your own house hundreds of thousands of times. Are the paths coherent? Complicated? Or even very impractical? (Example: The way to the toilet upstairs from the bedroom is really, no matter which "airlock" you choose, really unfortunate.)
2. Do the rooms fulfill their function? Or is it difficult somewhere? (Example: Relatively narrow paths in the kitchen and pantry.)

There are two things that helped me back then:
1. Actually laying out the rooms with ropes, etc. on a large meadow. To get a feeling for the paths.
2. Visiting model home parks and imagining that you would have to live in those houses – what would bother you? (And model homes are often designed more for looks than for function.)

There are also the topics (a) does the house use the property well, and (b) is the planning economical? (Every square meter costs a lot of money!)

Based on that, then develop a rough idea which is then worked out with professionals (i.e. architect). In the end, something often results that is quite different from the initial own ideas and drawings.

I know this is not the answer that was hoped for here. Maybe, with some luck, however, it could provide some ideas to consider in the next planning. Building a house is a long process.

Hello, you should definitely work on your facade and not just plan the house from the inside.

She shouldn’t do anything at all, but rather have it done.

This clicky colorful amateur planning software is mostly rubbish. Therefore, it is always difficult to assess how much of the planning incompetence really originates from the amateur herself, and how much the software adds or boosts.
To give the other discussants (and later a professional) an idea of what is desired, I find the presentation sufficient. It just must not be handed over to a general contractor draftsman, because he will not fix ninety percent of the errors. So presenting the idea here is enough – only the hope of getting it suitably on track untrained would have to fail.
