Hello everyone,
I would like to share our current house planning and hear/read your ideas.
Development Plan / Restrictions
Plot size: 436 m² (4700 sq ft)
Slope: no, flat
Site occupancy index: 0.4
Floor area ratio: n/a
Building envelope, building line, and boundary: free on the plot, only 3m (10 ft) distance required
Edge development
Number of parking spaces: 2 parking spaces
Number of floors: 2 full stories
Roof shape: anything allowed from 20°
Architectural style: free
Orientation:
Maximum height / limits: 11m (36 ft)
Other requirements
Client Requirements
Style, roof type, building type: classic, gable roof (45°)
Basement, floors: basement, ground floor, upper floor
Number of people, ages: 36, 35, 2.5 (number 2 is planned and desired)
Room requirements on ground and upper floors: see floor plan
Office: family use or home office? Home office (work from home)
Overnight guests per year: approx. 15-20
Open or closed architecture: relatively open
Conservative or modern construction: modern?
Open kitchen, kitchen island: open kitchen, no island
Number of dining seats: 6-8
Fireplace: later
Music / stereo wall:
Balcony, roof terrace: no
Garage, carport: yes, but type unclear. Possibly a single carport to be expanded into a garage
Utility garden, greenhouse: classic tomato and strawberry bed
Other wishes / special features / daily routine: due to home working, spatial separation is essential. My wife sometimes works night shifts, so being able to sleep during the day is necessary.
House Design
Who designed the plan: “off the shelf,” own ideas
What do you like most? The 4 rooms on the upper floor, the open living/dining/kitchen area
What do you dislike? the current upstairs floor plan
Price estimate according to architect/planner:
Personal price limit for the house, including fittings:
Preferred heating system: currently air-to-water heat pump, but not fixed
If you had to give up details / extensions:
- can give up: garage/carport
- cannot give up: basement, home office, pantry
In our own planning, we have designed the doors to the office and bathroom on the ground floor to be 1m (39 inches) wide to ensure accessibility.
We are still unsure about the large window front in the living room.
For the upper floor, we will shortly receive another floor plan (from a show home) that we like much better.
I am very curious about your feedback on our ground floor planning and whether you have any suggestions for the upper floor.
If you have questions about the notes, just ask.
Best regards,
Robin

Pre-wall for the bathroom? I hadn’t actually considered a pre-wall. Thanks for pointing that out!
It should probably be possible by adjusting things a bit. Maybe reduce the shower length of 150cm (59 inches) slightly. Or really open the door outwards. ops:

Hello,
I wouldn’t remove the door to the walk-in closet, but rather the one from the hallway. How are the parents supposed to get dressed in the morning without having to walk half-naked through the hallway? Older children often have overnight guests. However, the bedroom is way too small for me. I iron there daily and also like to watch a movie in the evening; I wouldn’t feel comfortable in such a small room. Of course, there are many people who hardly spend any time in the bedroom.
Best regards,
SabineEveryone is different, of course. For example, I don’t iron at all, but I do like hanging laundry while watching TV (the laundry is planned to be in a separate utility room on the upper floor, which will also have a small TV). My husband and I wake up at very different times, and occasionally I have to go back to the wardrobe because I forgot something or the weather conditions require different clothing (cyclist + rain). I don’t like always having to sneak into the bedroom or go through two doors. And I don’t think you actually meet the children’s guests half-naked that often; there are also bathrobes or pajamas.
Häuslebau3r8 Nov 2016 16:59How about, for example, a sliding door on the bedroom side in the master bedroom or dressing room? This might allow for an even better use of the square meters in the dressing room. Due to the room layout, it is difficult to plan differently. Since, in my opinion, you could "actually" do without the door in the master bedroom, and an entrance through the dressing room would be sufficient.
Best regards
Best regards
