Since the old thread was a complete mess, I’m starting this new one here:
Development plan/restrictions: No development plan, initial inquiry with the municipality received positive feedback.
Plot size: 884m² (9509 sq ft)
Slope: Approximately 1.5m (5 ft) slope across the building width from north to south. Leveling out flat toward the street on the south side.
Number of parking spaces: 2 garage spaces
Number of stories: 2
Orientation: Dining/cooking areas facing south
Homeowners’ requirements
Style, roof type, building type: Urban villa, hipped roof
Basement, floors: Basement included, 2 floors
Number of occupants, ages: 2 (27 & 24 years old), planned total 4
Office: family use or home office? Home office
Guests staying overnight per year: few / couch is sufficient
Open or closed architecture: Open plan, living room separated by room divider
Conservative or modern construction: Modern
Open kitchen, kitchen island: Open plan, kitchen island absolutely necessary (for aesthetic reasons)
Number of dining seats: Large dining table for 8-12 people
Fireplace: Yes
Music/sound system wall: 5.1 surround sound for TV
Balcony, roof terrace: No
Garage, carport: Garage
Utility garden, greenhouse: Yes
Additional wishes/special features/daily routine, including reasons for chosen or excluded features: Living room is mainly used for watching TV, so south-facing orientation is not necessary
House design
Planned by: Planner
What do you like most? Why? All our wishes are included: straight staircase, laundry chute, cloakroom near the front door, pantry, kitchen island
What do you dislike? Why? The middle window on the south side is quite close to the bay window.
Price estimate according to architect/planner: 430k
Preferred heating technology: Air-source heat pump
If you had to give up some details or upgrades:
- What you could do without: laundry chute
- What you cannot do without: pantry, kitchen island, straight staircase
Why does the design look the way it does now? Countless drawings from us that the planner built on.
Which wishes were implemented by the architect? A mix of many examples from various magazines, our ideas, and our stubbornness ;-) ...
What do you think makes the design particularly good or bad? We think it’s very successful but welcome further suggestions

Why don't you use the planned children's bathroom as your private bathroom and access it from the dressing room side?
That way, it would be a small retreat bathroom, so you wouldn’t disturb anyone in the mornings and evenings. So it would be “just” a master bathroom and a family bathroom [emoji4]... but there are other options 😉
Happy New Year – 2018 will be great [emoji2]

For most people I know, everything starts at the same time—daycare, school, work.
5 a.m. is rare, and we live in a very rural area.
What time do you start working?When I carpool, I leave at 5:45. If I go alone, I leave a bit later and arrive at the office around 6:30.M

Wow, that’s early. Many people start at 7 or 8 o’clock.
I like the idea of using the children's bathroom as the parents' bathroom. That way, you won’t really disturb anyone.Well, it takes some getting used to but it’s not too bad. I might use the other bathroom in the morning, but still, the children should hear as little as possible of the activities in the bathroom.Similar topics
