Additional wishes / special features / daily routine, including reasons for choices
Laundry room was moved to the upper floor because there is hardly any space on the ground floor and the technical room is already very tight without washer and dryer. It was important to me to be able to dry laundry directly on the balcony, at least in warm weather.
We will have a cantilevered staircase and an open space above. Access from the garage to the house was important to me. I feel there is a lack of storage space for provisions, but maybe the kitchen will be big enough since we will have a side-by-side fridge again. We rarely use canned goods.
House Design
Who planned it: architect and many personal drafts
- Builder’s planner
- Architect
- Do-it-yourself
What do you particularly like? Cantilevered staircase with glass railing (which means I don’t mind cleaning it), balcony with glass railing, open living-dining area with fireplace.
What do you dislike? Why? The technical room takes up so much space and bothers me, but a basement was too expensive in terms of cost-benefit.
Price estimate according to architect/planner: 400,000 with 60,000 own contribution (window construction and installation, glass railing)
Personal price limit for the house including equipment: see above
Preferred heating system: heat pump
Additionally, controlled mechanical ventilation, and if budget allows, some connected home technology
If You Have to Give Up Something, which details / extensions
- Can you give up? Child 1’s room is a bit too large – the bathroom might get bigger.
- Can’t give up? Large children’s rooms >16 sqm (172 sq ft), high ceiling on ground floor 2.70 m (8.86 ft), large kitchen, 2 showers in the house
Why Has the Design Turned Out Like It Has?
For example: Standard design from the planner? Initially we wanted a central T-shaped staircase, but due to lack of space it became a straight cantilevered staircase.
Which requests were implemented by the architect? All
A mix of many examples from various magazines: yes, especially the one with the red V
What makes it particularly good or bad in your opinion? We took a long time, about 1.5 years, for the final planning
What Is the Most Important / Fundamental Question About the Floor Plan in 130 Characters or Less?
We would simply like to hear a third opinion again; often you don’t notice something that others see immediately.
What I also want to mention: Storage room = office and playroom but also with space for buckets, vacuum cleaner, etc.
The bathroom on the upper floor will be enlarged and child 1’s room slightly reduced.
Site plan is still to be created.

That’s not going to happen either. When faced with the choice between sacrificing the dream staircase or cutting back a bit on the floor area, I expect the staircase will win.I don’t see any need to give anything up. The main point is rather to correct useless or flawed square meters.On the other hand, the dream staircase has an irreplaceably high value: the happy wife! Hard to beat, right?

A draft.
However, the open space had to be sacrificed because I brought the staircase into the dining area for its beauty. Here it has room to fully unfold its splendor. Additionally, you can see it while working in the kitchen and enjoy it.
Storage and work surfaces have been distributed throughout the house. The utility room is on the upper floor, not directly at the balcony but with a good size. Carrying laundry the 5m (16 feet) to the balcony is really manageable. Plus, there is direct access to the balcony without having to pass through the musty laundry area.
Since the overall house should remain spacious, the bathroom on the upper floor is 17m² (183 sq ft). Bathroom specialists could really have fun here – others might do that better.
The walk-in closet can be accessed by the whole family. I would not limit it exclusively to the master bedroom, though that would also be possible. This way, there is peace when someone has to get up earlier. Of course, the utility room and walk-in closet could be swapped if that seems more practical.
The fireplace is no longer on the exterior wall, which means fewer vents on the roof. The patio door next to the wood rack ideally leads to the wood storage area behind the garage.
Access through the garage was enabled, although in my opinion it’s unnecessary if a covered main entrance is planned. Alternatively, this space could become a large enclosed cloakroom with a corner cabinet.
The garage was moved forward to align with the neighboring building and to allow for a window in the utility/technical room.

On the other hand, the dream staircase offers an irreplaceably high benefit: the happy wife! Hard to improve on, right? Hehehe, women just seem to have more luck than we do sometimes.
I leave estimates to the professionals.
