Hello everyone,
Based on the floor plans attached, the architect from the general contractor is now planning our house. The floor plans were created by us as a guideline for the architect. Please don’t scrutinize too closely whether doors, frames, or windows are exactly right, as, for example, they are definitely not finalized yet.
The first drawings from the architect are expected to arrive after Christmas. The architect had relatively few comments on the floor plans. From his perspective, the hallway on the upper floor is too large, and there will be a few minor changes made in the bathroom. The chimney flue also needs to be adjusted.
The building permits / planning permission applications are planned to be submitted in mid-January 2018.
What is currently causing us some concern is the relatively small kitchen. The net size will be around 16 sqm (172 sq ft), but we would prefer a larger kitchen—20 sqm (215 sq ft) or more. Unfortunately, we cannot think of a smart way to meaningfully change the layout without making too many compromises in the other rooms.
The basic house details:
Frisian house, 12 x 10.5 m (39 ft x 34 ft) plus two 4 m (13 ft) gables in the living room.
Exterior walls 42.5 cm (17 inches), interior walls on the ground floor 17.5 cm (7 inches), upper floor 11 cm (4 inches).
The living room faces south, the front door faces north.
45-degree half-hipped roof. Attic converted to living space, no basement.
Parking space / carport is planned on the east side of the house.
Best regards
Heiko

I think Heiko_baut and Egon12 are talking past each other: here, "1.5-story" seems to mean a half-story under the roof slope, while the original poster associates a "two-story" with a villa-like house. Legally, a full upper floor is probably permitted, and in my view that will be the case with the knee wall. Considering the steep roof, knee wall, and four gables, anything else would surprise me.
I share kbt09’s concerns— I can already imagine the bathroom door banging against the sloped ceiling.
I picture the bay window as more short than wide. Although I admit, opinions on pleasing proportions can shift when aiming for steep roofs. In that case, its recurrence can also be somewhat more substantial.Hello Thies,
absolutely spot on.
@all I am still considering ypg’s suggestions. I will get back to you shortly.
Best regards, Heiko
