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?

If the basement stairs are spiral, they need to be designed very precisely. The steps could be quite short, which might cause head clearance issues on the basement stairs. What clear ceiling height is planned for the ground floor? Currently, the structural height is 263 cm (8 ft 7 in), but we are leaning towards increasing it by half a brick.

The staircase should rather match the shape of the house, no matter which way the slope faces, right? I think that conflicts with the flow of energy. But that’s a matter of taste; with a mechanistic view of the world, you don’t notice it and therefore it’s not disruptive.ivenh0 schrieb:
I agree with you about the foyer. Well then, a foyer, my dear, is needed for theater intermissions or champagne receptions or watercolor exhibitions personally opened by the district administrator. Or of course for matinees with chamber music, to which the Hoppenstedts are also invited. I interpret this rather pretentious term as a sign that the sobering reality of the financing discussion is still ahead. As I said, based on the current design situation, I still see an almost seven-figure price tag. Those who can afford it, good for them—but even then, a design can still be improved by adding a touch of down-to-earth practicality.https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

If you have space for storage, then yes. I would clarify that in advance.
We had little excavation, a plot twice as large, but due to the cuts and slope, there was no space. Friends have a plot of 800 m² (8,600 sq ft) with a lot of excavation, so they could store it temporarily.

Well, a foyer, my dear, is needed for theater intermissions, champagne receptions, or watercolor exhibitions personally opened by the district administrator. Or, of course, for matinées with chamber music, to which even the Hoppenstedts are invited. I interpret the princess-like term as a sign that the sobering conversation about financing is still ahead. As I said, I currently see an approximately seven-figure price tag based on the design. Whoever can afford it, more power to them – but even then, a design can still benefit from adding a touch of groundedness.We can leave finances out of this thread. We have already had financing discussions and have a contract for the design (205m² (2207 sq ft) + 50m² (538 sq ft) granny flat) in place, so we know the price tag.

But, as I said: even if you can build with a blank check, a strict budget can be a surprisingly good guide during construction—it can unlock unexpected creativity.
For example, here https://www.hausbau-forum.de/threads/grundrissplanung-derzeit-220m-wo-könnte-man-sparen.26305/, a homebuilder is just about to turn things around because the planner had miscalculated the cost estimate.
