Hello!
We have basically finished the planning now. I’d be interested in your opinions.
I have attached the ground floor and first floor plans. The basement is pretty straightforward: fitness room, workshop, office, utility room.
A few points we have thought about for a while:
Open staircase.
We have seen this in real life and really like it. It opens up the spatial feeling a bit. The downside I see is noise transmission from the living/dining area to the children’s bedrooms/bedrooms. I think we can live with that, but we have planned it so that a drywall partition could still be added on the ground floor.
Main entrance facing north, carport on the south side.
The reason is this: originally, the carport was planned along the rear property line. However, I’m concerned about costs if the entire driveway needs to be paved. That would be nearly 200sqm (2,150 sqft). What would something like that cost? Also, fees are charged for sealed surfaces. Or does anyone have a practical idea?
We had also considered placing the main entrance on the east side, but then the hallway/utility room layout became unattractive.
Living room size
There are about 3.5 meters (11.5 feet) to the wall. We’ve arranged our living room furniture accordingly and think it’s sufficient. Otherwise, the planned wardrobe with floor-to-ceiling sliding doors in the entrance area would have to be removed.
The conservatory is not really a conservatory, but rather an enclosed terrace with glass sliding doors.
Best regards,
Daniel

I have revised the floor plan in my software. This also makes the living room larger. Is the bathroom too small like this? It would be easier to assess with measurements 🙂

Am I correct in assuming that the access road is on the south side and the entrance is on the north side, so somewhat ‘hidden’?” daniels87 schrieb:
Yes, that's right. A site plan would indeed be helpful for evaluation. Personally, I wouldn’t like having to walk all the way around the house every time. Also, I wouldn’t want visitors, delivery people, or the mail carrier to have to go around the house.

That’s true. However, it was more important for us to have the frequently used ground floor rooms facing south.

We preferred to orient our living and dining rooms towards the west because that’s where the sun shines in the evenings during the week when we are at home, and the windows aren’t visible to passersby. I simply don’t like it when people can walk around the house, look into every window, and only then reach the front door.
But of course, that’s a matter of personal preference.
