Hello dear community,
We are planning to build a single-family house next year and believe we are ready to have a permit plan created.
The plot is 21m (69 feet) wide and 31m (102 feet) long.
The groundwater level is very high, so no basement.
The zoning regulations require both the house and the garage to have a gable roof.
The garden is located to the north behind the house; we deliberately placed the terrace on the north(west) side because we both prefer not to be exposed to the sun for long periods.
25 cm (10 inches) bricks + 20 cm (8 inches) insulation.
The house will be heated with geothermal energy (KNV Topline 1145) using a trench collector system.
The garage will be built without a door, essentially as a carport, allowing side access to the main entrance.
The roof above the mechanical room (in the attic) will simply be extended.
The guest toilet/bathroom on the ground floor will partially fit under the staircase.
Zoning restrictions/requirements: gable roof, eave height 5m (16 feet)
Plot size: 650 m² (7,000 sq ft)
Slope: no
Floor area ratio: 0.3
Building envelope, building line and boundary: 3m (10 feet), garage recessed 5m (16 feet)
Edge development: my "garage" adjacent to existing neighbor’s garage
Number of stories: 2
Roof style: gable roof
Architectural style: rather modern
Orientation: south-facing if possible
Maximum heights/limits: 5m (16 feet) eave height/roof edge
Homeowner requirements
No basement (due to high groundwater)
2 people (planning for 4)
Office: only intended as a storage room/guest room, for future needs
House design
Who designed it:
I designed it myself
We planned the kitchen in the “niche” so it is not the center of the room when entering and because it faces the street, letting us follow what is happening outside a bit.
The living room is on the darker north side since light from the south or west can be distracting when watching TV on the couch (as it is currently).
Thanks in advance,
Christian

Apart from the living room and the various bedrooms, there are only utility rooms left.
For example, why should a technical room be larger than it currently is? The kitchen is also almost 8 linear meters (including a small pantry, which is perfectly sufficient).
The wall thicknesses are 25 + 20 cm (about 10 + 8 inches), or 12 cm (about 5 inches) for non-load-bearing interior walls.

For example, our kitchen is 15m² (160 ft²), and I think it shouldn’t be any smaller.
What I want to say is: all your rooms feel a bit like dollhouses, except for the living room. Since you probably won’t spend much time in the children’s room, that’s the only space where you don’t immediately feel confined.
I would strongly recommend visiting a model home community. Pay special attention to the size of the rooms and the overall sense of space. And above all, consider whether you really want so many small rooms or fewer rooms with more space.

Please, no arguments on my account
I will upload revised plans on Saturday, then you can still decide whether the design is hopeless Above all, please use real dimensions for furniture and fixtures... Some, like the bathtub, look like they are straight out of a builder’s marketing catalog...

Is 12 even possible? That would be about 9 cm (3.5 inches) blocks plus plaster...Twelve as an approximate value for a real eleven and a half is sufficient, and the rough construction dimensions are actually correct. However, for lay planners, it is indeed better to calculate with plaster (especially if they have already forgotten the tolerances), since it is often "packed" when furnished to judge whether it "fits."
Maybe someone will eventually develop a useful plugin for house design software that shows heights under stairs.

zuluindia20 Apr 2017 14:54The 12cm (5 inches) refers only to the brick itself without plaster.
My builder would have even used 10cm (4 inches) bricks for the interior.
