Hello everyone,
For weeks now, we have been gathering ideas from model home parks and our local area. In our opinion, the result is now good. However, since I am concerned that we might be missing some common pitfalls, I kindly ask for your honest feedback. Unfortunately, we will only work with an architect to create a detailed plan with measurements later on.
Development plan/restrictions
Plot size: 393 m² (4,226 ft²)
Slope: no
Floor space ratio (FSR): 0.4
Gross floor area ratio (GFAR): 0.8
Building envelope, building line, and boundary: 3m (10 ft) to all property boundaries, garage can be built on the property line
Number of parking spaces: 1 garage + 1 open
Number of floors: 2
Roof type: hipped roof, 22° pitch, square footprint
External house dimensions: 9.50m x 9.50m (31 ft x 31 ft)
Maximum heights/restrictions: none
Other specifications: none
Homeowners’ requirements
Style, roof shape, building type: urban villa
Basement, floors: no basement, 2 floors
Number of occupants, age: 2, both 30 years old
Space requirements on ground and upper floors: approximately 140 m² (1,507 ft²) in total. Large open living/dining/kitchen area
Office: family use or home office? Home office
Guest bedrooms per year: rare
Open or closed layout: open
Conservative or modern design: modern
Open kitchen, kitchen island: yes
Number of dining seats: 4–6
Fireplace: no
Music/sound wall: no
Balcony, roof terrace: no
Garage, carport: garage extra long to provide additional storage space (min. 7 m / 23 ft)
Utility garden, greenhouse: no
Additional wishes/special features/daily routine, including reasons for choices or exclusions
House design
Who designed the plan: DIY
What do you particularly like? Why?
- Kitchen and dining area on the south side
- Large living/kitchen/dining space
- Walk-in closet with direct access to the bathroom
- Shower recessed into a niche
- Storage room under the straight concrete staircase
What do you not like? Why?
- Distance between sofa and opposite wall (TV wall) only 3.50 m (11.5 ft)
- Bedroom on the north side, while the garden will be on the south side
- We are considering adding a small open space between the children’s room and the bedroom, directly adjacent to the doors of both rooms. It should not be too large. Windows would be planned at the top and bottom. Any opinions? We are aware of potential noise and odor disturbance.
- I would like a direct access from the garage into the house.
- The plot is not optimally utilized.
I can provide necessary wall dimensions on request.
Perhaps you also see a better way to position the house on the plot in combination with the garage.
Thank you in advance!
Best regards,
Raphael

Please read my pinned post in this subforum "Idea Generation."
It includes, among other things, minimum dimension requirements for stairs.
The staircase looks too short; placing the door/wardrobe on the side makes more sense. Also, the gap in the walk-in closet seems too narrow to me.
Your bathroom drainage looks problematic.
Without measurements, detailed advice is not possible.

As it is currently drawn, you come up the stairs and immediately run into a wall. That would bother me.We didn’t like that either. But since the bathroom has turned out quite small, we don’t have any other ideas at the moment.

Where will the toilet drainage go? And why do you have to look directly at the toilet as soon as you enter the bathroom?
You also need to read the posts completely.
Regards, YvonneDear Yvonne,
First of all, I kindly ask you once again to refrain from making any irrational, emotionally driven interpretations. I do read every post from you, but I consciously choose not to consider some of them.
There will be a structure built behind the toilet, but basically, the bathroom is still not perfectly planned. Ideas instead of pure criticism would be appreciated.

Regards, YvonneI know that thread. The dimensions of the current staircase are 2.70m x 1.93m (8 ft 10 in x 6 ft 4 in).
The staircase is two steps short per flight: one step missing due to the total number of risers (15 x 19 = 285), and one step missing because of the offset that should be at the landing. With a step dimension of 19/26 and a width of 101 cm (40 inches), the rough construction measures 3.09 x 2.26 m (10.1 x 7.4 ft).
However, in my view, despite the colored illustration, we are still at the sketch stage here. While trying to determine minimum dimensions from it, the basic assumptions should, of course, still be realistic.
