Hello everyone,

We are still at the very beginning of our building project and have a very first rough draft from a designer, based on our ideas, which we would like to refine.

Development plan/restrictions
Plot size: 712 sqm (7,667 sq ft)
Slope: no
Site coverage ratio:
Floor area ratio: 0.35
Number of stories: 2
Roof style: all allowed
Architectural style: all allowed
Orientation: southwest
No other relevant restrictions or specifications

Homeowners' requirements
Architectural style, roof form, building type: single-family house with a bay window, gable roof max. 30°, modern
Basement, floors: no basement, 2 full floors
Number of occupants, age: 2, both 35 years old, 1 child desired
Space requirements
On the ground floor: living/dining area, semi-open kitchen, pantry, guest WC, utility room (with technical equipment)
On the upper floor: master bedroom, walk-in closet, bathroom, 2 children’s rooms (1 optionally as an office), 2nd small bathroom (if guest WC on the ground floor has no shower)
Open or closed layout: rather open
Construction style: modern but cozy
Open kitchen, kitchen island: undecided
Number of dining seats: 4, expandable to 6
Fireplace: yes
Balcony, roof terrace: no
Garage, carport: double carport
Other wishes/special features/daily routine: prefers a straight open staircase

House design
Who designed the plan: designer from a prefabricated house company
What do you particularly like? The open concept while still having a not completely open kitchen
What do you not like? That the entrance area with the stairs might become too tight (the first plan had no entrance area at all, the stairs were closer to the entrance)
Price estimate according to architect/designer: not under €300,000
Personal price limit for the house including fittings: €320,000
Preferred heating system: heat pump

If you have to give up anything, which details/extensions
-can you do without: fireplace
-can you not do without: 2nd small bathroom with shower (can be the guest WC on the ground floor)

We know that it doesn’t fit yet. Especially because the stairs are too far into the living area to create an entrance area. Because of that, the passage to the kitchen possibly does not fit anymore?

In any case, I welcome any opinion and suggestions.

Best regards

Then I must be misreading the north arrow... is north at the top or bottom of the plan?

North is at the bottom of the plan 😉

@MilliMax ... there should be an original plan that was modified for this drawing. Just use the original plan and explain again what doesn’t fit well. And, as mentioned, provide some measurements.

Kitchen/dining area/terrace access ... try sketching out yourself how this should work in your layout.

Stairs and entrance hall ... from the top down and then what?

...well, this is the first (rough) draft from a planner.
...

It’s hard to believe that when two rooms on the upper floor still don’t even have doors, and when you go down the stairs you end up walking into the vestibule wall 🙂

I also have serious doubts about the window drawings...

If you redrew this yourself using your own software, please say so.
Otherwise, change the house provider or the planner!
This advice is very seriously meant!

The design comes from a planner. Maybe it shouldn’t be called a plan yet, more like a draft to see if the layout itself—that is, the arrangement of the rooms as we want it—fits the space.

The actual plan is in progress, as I already mentioned.

I find it very well done. All necessary rooms are included, walls are marked, and doors have been mostly considered.

However, I feel it could use a bit more color. Could you please upload the plan in color here so it can be evaluated better?
