Hello everyone!
It’s finally time for me as well:
The planning with the architect is underway.
Could you please give your feedback on the design?
It’s a house of about 200 sqm (2,150 sq ft), located in Baden-Württemberg, with a basement including a granny flat, on a 441 sqm (4,750 sq ft) plot.
I don’t like the entrance; it takes up 8 sqm (86 sq ft).
It was important to me to have a bedroom on the ground floor. That’s why the living room isn’t very large. Does anyone have ideas on how I could enlarge the living room? Maybe reposition the internal staircase or possibly install a different type of staircase?
I think a glass element still needs to be added in the living area.
And definitely the entrance area should be positioned outside.
What else do you notice?
Please, please, please, I welcome criticism and suggestions.
Thank you

Development Plan/Restrictions:
There are no building regulations or defined building zones. This means we need to fit in with the immediate surroundings. The neighbor on the garden side: a factory, specifically a warehouse without noise, in a fairly modern style. On the street side, we must align with the line of neighboring houses (distance 1m 80cm (5 ft 11 in)).
Plot size: 441 m² (4746 sq ft), plot depth 22.5 m (74 ft), plot width 20.5 m (67 ft).
I cannot say if the plot is on a slope; maybe this is clearer from the photos of the old house. The house will be demolished; it is about 100 years old with poor condition.
Number of parking spaces: 3
Client Requirements:
Style, Roof Type, Building Type: modern, log house, hipped roof. I also like shed roof or flat roof. According to the building authority (Rauthaus), approval from the municipal council is required. And that is ???
Basement, Floors: basement, 2 floors
Number of occupants, Ages: 2 adults, both 37 years old, plus 2 children aged 13 and 9
Room requirements on ground floor and upper floor: Ground floor wish list: living and dining room, bedroom, bathroom, dressing room, guest toilet, storage room. Upper floor: 2 children’s rooms, guest room, bathroom without bathtub
Office: family use or home office? No
Number of overnight guests per year: 4 people (2 x 2 but not at the same time)
Open or closed architecture: open
Conservative or modern style: modern
Open kitchen with island: yes
Number of dining seats: 8
Fireplace: yes
Music/stereo wall: no
Balcony, roof terrace: would be great
Garage, carport: garage (planned on the side where the old house entrance is, attached to the neighbor’s garage)
Utility garden, greenhouse: no
House Design
Where does the planning come from:
- Planner from a construction company
- DIY by you
What do you dislike? Entrance area, hallway, living room too small, appearance
Personal budget limit for house including equipment: €400,000. Own work: interior finishing including plaster + window installation, building the garage
Preferred heating technology: no 100% decision yet
If you have to give up anything, which details/extensions:
- Can give up: bedroom and dressing room on the ground floor
- Cannot give up: small children’s rooms. I am open to everything if the overall concept is right and practical.

Is there already an elevation plan of the plot?
The architect needs that for planning.

Plot depth 22.5 m (74 ft), plot width 20.5 m (67 ft) Are you mixing them up? Because on the plan:
it looks wider than it is deep. Is the plan oriented north? I assume so. The narrow plot is basically the access path to a garage and who does it belong to?
And this is the entrance where you think the garage should be placed? So the house on the right would be removed?
-------------------------------
I’m not sure how your planner came up with this option:
Especially, where are the garages supposed to go? Because the right side faces the street and this front with the patio door points towards the neighbor – right?
