Suggestions for the floor plan

No, rather it will get smaller for you because you need basement replacement area


Greetings

The issue with this house and this provider is settled, I didn't really want to say more with that.

As soon as we have gathered ourselves and realigned, I will get back to you.
We have now also realized that we got too fixated too early and are currently rethinking everything.

Good morning everyone,

I’m basically starting everything from the beginning.
Since things didn’t work out with our originally chosen partner (somehow I’m quite glad about that now), we have given it some thought, actually a lot of thought.
I’m including the initial part again, some topics have changed in the meantime.

Development plan/restrictions
Size of the plot: 436 m²
Slope: no, flat
Floor area ratio: 0.4
Floor space index: n.a.
Building window, building line and boundary: free on the plot, only 3m distance
Edge development
Number of parking spaces: 2 parking spaces
Number of floors: 2 full floors
Roof shape: all allowed from 20°
Style: free
Orientation:
Maximum heights/limits: 11m
Further specifications

Client requirements
Style, roof shape, building type: I want to avoid the word town villa because it’s nonsense. However, we want as few slants as possible, that we have found out about ourselves by now.
Cellar, floors: cellar, ground floor, upper floor
Number of persons, age: 36, 35, 2.5 (number 2 is planned and desired)
Room requirements on the GF and UF: on the GF office and living area, small shower bathroom; UF 3 bedrooms and a family bathroom
Office: family use or home office? Home office (I work from home)
Guests per year: approx. 15-20
Open or closed architecture: relatively open
Conservative or modern construction: modern?
Open kitchen, kitchen island: open kitchen with island
Number of seats at the dining table: 6-8
Fireplace: planned
Music/stereo wall:
Balcony, roof terrace: no
Garage, carport: yes, double garage
Utility garden, greenhouse: classic tomato and strawberry patch
Further wishes / special features / daily routine: due to working from home spatial separation is absolutely necessary. My wife sometimes has night shifts, therefore it is necessary to be able to sleep during the day.

House design
Who is the planner: so far loose ideas on the room program
What do you like especially? relatively compact, yet it seems quite spacious at first
What do you not like? that I have no idea so far how to design the UF, therefore no plan
Preferred heating technology: air-water heat pump with central controlled residential ventilation

If you have to forego something, which details/expansions
right now we are quite open to ideas. The original pantry has already disappeared (at least for the moment). We would really like the fireplace, at least the preparation for it.
I think I will get one or the other idea for the UF, the GF is tricky because of the needed office.

Attached is the drawn idea, the dashed lines are just conceptual room dividers, no walls should be there.

So, now we have given some thought to how it should look. The floor plans are attached.

Information: Exterior walls 36.5 cm, interior walls on the ground floor 17 cm (except the wardrobe by the bathroom), on the upper floor the horizontal walls 17 cm, the vertical ones 11 cm. I hope the measurements are sufficient, if not, please just let me know briefly

Office: Family use or home office? Home office (work from home)

...due to telecommuting, spatial separation is absolutely necessary. My wife sometimes works night shifts, so it is also necessary to be able to sleep during the day
...

.....
I think I will get this or that idea for the upper floor, tricky is the ground floor because of the required office.
...

By telecommuting, do you mean the home office?
What does spatial separation mean? Do you have customer business?
Do you work only from home? Or a few days a month?
May the office also be used as a guest room?

If night shifts have to be regularly and also in the future planned, i.e., the life rhythm, then I would deviate from standard designs like Town & Country and consider whether it would not be more sensible to make the lively floor downstairs with a large open-plan kitchen, children's rooms, and office, and upstairs then the parents' floor with a front living room.
If the office is without customer visits, then it can also be very well upstairs.

Regards

The office is planned purely as my workplace for tax reasons.
There is no customer operation. But currently, I work at home on at least 18 out of 20 days.

The night shifts are 3 or 4 nights per month, of which there is only one "critical" night overall (from Saturday to Sunday) when the current "little one" still does not understand that Mom needs to sleep then. However, the situation will already be different by the move, and she will certainly understand that. And at 4 years old, she will surely visit a friend on Sundays sometimes.

And even though the floor plan bears some resemblance to the first one, we were actually inspired by somewhere else.

It doesn't matter... I could have also chosen Viebrockhaus, Heinz von Heiden, etc. (but I remembered well, right?)... If you have a different living and lifestyle structure, you don't have to see yourself in the standard where you are not.

Even if you like to tell yourself that everything works like it does for others, there is the freedom to question the rooms and arrangements.

A couple without children does it too and asks themselves whether it makes sense to still have two "children's rooms" upstairs in the upper floor, although the need is rather adjacent to the living room or bedroom on the ground floor, just like retirees only build one level.
