Standard floor plan for city villa with 130 sqm

We have reserved a plot of land and are still looking for the right floor plan. Technically, everything is possible, i.e., town villa, 1.5 stories, even bungalow. The plot is almost square and 600 sqm in size. The orientation is south-southwest. We need 2 children's rooms (preferably on the south side), a bedroom, bathrooms upstairs and downstairs, a living/dining/kitchen area that is as open as possible, a guest toilet, and a utility room (perhaps 6-7 sqm). Both floors will of course be connected by a staircase. No basement, attic not developed, very large double garage separate but not built directly onto the house. We imagine about 130 sqm.

These are all largely standard requirements, and the orientation with almost south and the relatively large, square plot are all conditions that should make it easy to choose an absolute standard floor plan, right? But apparently such a thing doesn’t exist, at least not with 130 sqm?

In all plans, something is always off here or there, or what has always been a big problem: the staircase upstairs is directly at the entrance and therefore in the dirt area. Do you know anyone with an absolute standard floor plan, maybe from a developer or self-built or from friends, relatives, family, that is really good? Or is EVERY floor plan more or less just a compromise, even if the requirements and the situation (plot, orientation, everything can be built) are actually so simple?

Of course, every predetermined or individually planned floor plan is a compromise. Whether dependent on the plot or budget. Get some inspiration from the Danwood park houses.

An individual floor plan is tailored to the living habits of the respective family/residents. That may suit others, but it doesn't have to. However, regarding your list, I wonder: Where is the storage space? No basement, no attic, a utility room with 6-7 sqm?! But the main thing is the large double garage? I would rather invest the money here in a properly planned house. That means a visit to an architect would be advisable.

The double garage is used as storage space for beverage crates and similar items. Utility room 6 sqm is fine. We just visited some friends who soon will have 3 children; they had no more than a 2 sqm storage closet. The washing machine was then in the bathroom and the heating + oil tank in the basement (otherwise nothing at all in the basement, really completely empty, it was an old building and no one wants to store anything in that musty basement), but 2 sqm of storage space was enough for them. And in those 2 sqm there was power connection, Wi-Fi, etc. too. So if we plan with 6 sqm, then that’s enough for a geothermal heat pump (no oil tanks ), controlled residential ventilation, power distribution box, washing machine + dryer stacked, and some cleaning supplies, vacuum cleaner and that’s it. The rest of the house was tidy everywhere except for a pile of children’s toys. And I can’t manage to put the Lego box into the utility room after every use either.

And what do you do with the drinks in winter? By the way, I had my Bit case in the garage for a few days. The rust set in faster than you could blink. So back into the HAR. Clothes dryer, ironing board, etc. all need space.

The double garage serves as storage space for beverage crates and similar items. Utility room 6 sqm fits. We just visited first friends with nearly 3 children, they had no more than a 2 sqm storage closet.

If it worked for others, then that's good...
