House Design
Who Designed it: Architect from a construction company
What Do You Like Most? Why? Side driveway to garage, direct access from garage to house, separate apartment concept, open ground floor design, upper floor is perfect in our opinion, gallery
What Do You Like Least? Why? Living/dining area is somewhat too large (wife worries it may be hard to arrange cozily), bedroom window position in the separate apartment is tricky, (north entrance → long access route for guests)
Preferred Heating System: Air-to-water heat pump + photovoltaic system + battery storage
If You Have to Cut Back, On Which Details / Extensions
- Can be cut: Office on upper floor, a few square meters in living/dining area
- Cannot be cut: Remaining room program
Why Has the Design Turned Out As It Is Now?
The room program was provided by us. Furthermore, many requirements and the plot itself influenced the design.
Why Was the Drawing Created in Sweet Home 3D?
The architect’s design is drawn to scale but not dimensioned, so I transferred it to SH3D.
What Is the Most Important / Fundamental Question About the Floor Plan, Summarized in 130 Characters?
What do you think of the floor plan? Any ideas on how to make the large living/dining area feel cozier?

What do you think of the floor plan? Any ideas on how to make the large living/dining area feel cozier?
The problem is that my wife has quite specific ideas that she won’t change her mind about. For example, an entrance on the ground floor, meaning an outdoor staircase, a gallery above the dining area, a large walk-in closet, a straight staircase, direct access from the garage into the house, and so on.
We also had another floor plan from an architect that she was emotionally attached to. We have now adjusted it slightly and are both happy with it at the moment.
In the new floor plan, my office has moved to the basement, but because of the new position of the garage, the garden has become larger.
I’m looking forward to your feedback.

... which she is emotionally attached to. We have now adjusted this a bit and are both happy with it at the moment.
I’m looking forward to your feedbackThat’s something to worry about. Also certain ideas that you want to have just because you saw them as a backdrop in soap operas.

People worry about that. Also, certain ideas they’ve seen as backdrops in soap operas that they absolutely want to have I don’t want to disagree with that. Emotions definitely play a role in building a house, and if specific ideas trigger those emotions, there’s unfortunately nothing I can do about it. Happy wife, happy life.
I will post the floor plan later; the file is still too large, and I’m not skilled enough to convert it on my phone.
Best regards

So far, every other princess has had to accept that on the way from the Sims house to the final building plan, fine details tend to fall apart in several places.
The pressures of financing a dream home without compromises inevitably affect the marriage as well. Unhappy life, unhappy wife.
Professional architects shouldn’t break their clients’ hearts by starting the process toward an economical design — which, in my opinion, can and should also be a beautiful design — with a miniature palace.
Even without much marble and a lake Zurich view, this is currently a design for an almost seven-figure budget, and at 26 years old, a teacher is probably still expecting lifetime civil service employment rather than already being at level A14.
A building plot is not a pony farm.

So far, every other princess has had to accept that fine dust flakes off in several places on the way from the Sims house to the submitted plan. Nicely put! When I first requested quotes from the trades, I quickly came back down to earth—well, actually, even before that.
As I mentioned elsewhere, my idea of a dream house is simply not affordable. I was aware of that from the start. I also learned that some nice extras just aren’t feasible.
But with a bit of creativity, you can achieve things that initially seem impossible—if you are open to new ideas.
I don’t want to break it down in detail; you’ll have to decide for yourselves what works and what doesn’t.
Just a quick word about the entrance on the ground floor, especially since you’re building in Baden-Württemberg, where winters are harsher than in other places:
that annoying outdoor stairway needs to be cleared and gritted. I would much prefer to enter the house through the basement and then go upstairs inside, warm and dry, without risking slipping...
Otherwise, I’m looking forward to seeing the new floor plan.
A princess definitely needs a good shake to wake her up. Fairy tales don’t really have much to do with reality; dreams shouldn’t be imagined too detailed or precisely, then they become more attainable. Well then: it’s easy for us to say, but that doesn’t help the original poster at all, as she probably also had to say goodbye to the white horse [emoji6]
