Suggestions for the floor plan of a single-family house about 175 sqm, gable roof house

The bay window above then floats rather pointlessly in the air, although below it could almost be a breakthrough, is almost ridiculous. But that was probably a pipe dream, right?

Yes, I think that was a love-at-first-sight point at some model house: that a reading bay window juts out like a pulled-out drawer. Single-flight straight staircases are also such a detail that, as a central matter of the heart, must survive every downsizing ;-)

who of you is hanging on the freezer door in the kitchen?

And may I mention that your drawn sofa is only 2!! meters wide. That’s not enough for 4 people to lounge on. The Terra door wouldn’t open with a sofa of 2.70 either.
And as a note: a proper staircase would be about 3.80/3.90... Yours is currently 3.70 with 14 steps.

Your dining table is 2.40 meters long, but only 80 cm deep. As a main walkway and central hub, you get in each other’s way.

The house is 8 meters wide on the outside, so 7 meters inside. If you want to have a straight staircase AND a dining area running parallel, it simply doesn’t work logically. We can twist and turn the idea as much as we want: there has to be a different layout and/or a different staircase/staircase position.
And now it’s up to you: what do you decide? What must stay, what can go?

Oh, I hadn't even seen the stairs. That can become a knockout criterion. Ouch!

Questionable is the tightness at the dining area. The living room door even opens directly into the hallway.

The living room door is actually not supposed to be included at first. However, in case a separation from the foyer is desirable in the future, it should at least be optionally possible.

: we might plan the garage as you showed. That is a very good point and we were also uncertain about that.

Yes, this reading bay window was a desired feature. After the last discussion, we no longer specified the staircase to the architect. We basically gave him few specifications.

Nobody really. The main thing is to get in somewhere. :)

And then as a note: a proper staircase would be about 3.80/3.90... Yours is now 3.70 with 14 steps. If you want to have a straight staircase AND a dining area running parallel to it, then logically it just doesn’t work. We can twist and turn the wheel as we like: there has to be a different layout and/or a different staircase/staircase location. And now it's up to you: what do you decide? What has to stay, what can go?

The decision would probably fall on the option that causes the least hassle in the changes. We’re actually not set on anything. A different staircase would actually require a completely new plan. That would, after all the time and calculations, of course hurt the most…
