Hello everyone,
after reading through this forum a bit, I see that many of you have the necessary experience to provide valuable advice.
We plan to design our house with an architect, but some initial input wouldn’t hurt :-)
We do not want a prefabricated house.
Our half of the semi-detached house has a length of 12 meters (39 feet) and a width of 7.50 meters (25 feet).
We want to include a basement. The wall height is specified in the building plans as 6.20 meters (20 feet), and the ridge height as 8.25 meters (27 feet). The roof must have a pitch angle between 0 and 20 degrees. A maximum of two full stories are allowed.
Our dream is an open kitchen with dining and living areas (where the living area should be somewhat separated by a fireplace).
One bathroom on the ground floor, and possibly a small office.
If an attic level is possible, we would build two children’s bedrooms, a playroom, and a bathroom on the first floor.
In the attic, we would want the master bedroom, dressing room, bathroom, and possibly an office.
If an attic is not possible, then the master bedroom and dressing room would need to be included on the first floor.
Do the experts here know if an attic level is feasible or if this is impossible?
Which additional features would you consider indispensable or recommend?
Perhaps someone could even help us with a nice floor plan. :-)
Thank you very much in advance!

I’m not sure how old your children are, but it’s a good idea to plan the playroom on the ground floor; 10 square meters (108 square feet) is more than enough. Later on, it can be used as an office or guest room. Especially in the first few years, children like to play close by. We notice this a lot with our son (3 years old). We live in a bungalow, and he usually comes by every 15 minutes or so to see what we’re doing. Most of the time, he also brings some toys with him. Being within calling distance is very convenient, and it’s more comforting to hear the children. I start to worry if it goes quiet in the playroom ;-)

Too bad, but I kind of expected that :-(
But you could still add an attic, right?
Thanks in advance for the help.You can sketch that out yourself. You should be able to find a protractor.
Roughly, we are looking at 20 degrees on a 12-meter (39 feet) house / 6 meters (20 feet) in the middle at a height of 120 cm (47 inches).
