Additional wishes/ special features/ daily routine, including reasons for preferences or restrictions
House Design
Designer:
- Do-it-Yourself
What do you particularly like? Why? Straight staircase with storage room underneath possible
What do you dislike? Why? Kitchen is too small because no dining area is possible in the kitchen
Price estimate according to architect/planner:
Personal price limit for house, including equipment:
Preferred heating system:
If you have to give up certain details or expansions
- Can give up: garden area on the north side
- Cannot give up: office
Why is the design the way it is now? e.g.
The design was created by ourselves. The problem is: the garage is accessed from the south/west side, meaning the entrance is on the side and anyone can see into the garden, which is also on the south side. The north side is not an option (no sunlight there). West or east would be an option but unfortunately not possible as there is no space on the left or right sides of the house or garage (3m (10 ft) distance to neighbors must be maintained).
Since the house and garage already take up a large part of the plot, the garden is also relatively small (about 110m² (1184 sq ft) only in front by the terrace). We would still have a green area in the north, but this seems unnecessary. However, there is a playground nearby.
The office MUST remain because of self-employment. The kitchen could also be located in the north and be a bit larger.
A utility room connected to the garage is also essential.
Has anyone been in a similar situation and could offer some suggestions for changes?
Thank you in advance.

Something like this?

Or even further north?
Would it be better to have the house longer and narrower?
Though the interior layout would obviously need to be completely new.Thank you very much for that!
I’ve thought about it too; it’s actually not a bad idea. However, I would have to make the hallway area very long if the entrance is at the corner of the house. Otherwise, I don’t see how you’d be able to access all the rooms.
Oh, you’re right about the floor area ratio — I misread it. It’s actually 25%.
I’ll try it out this evening and share the new idea here.
Thanks to everyone!

Oh, the floor space index is actually incorrect. I looked it up wrong. It is 25% So, 0.25 – since it’s usually given as a decimal.
That makes 149 m² (1604 sq ft). However, that sounds unusually high to me for "two full stories allowed."

I’ll upload the zoning plan here as a PDF. I hope it’s readable.
The floor area ratio is 2.2.

The floor area ratio is listed as 2.2At least I believe that's correct.
I can't find it anywhere else. I'm not very familiar with this *embarrassed*
If anyone finds a different number, please feel free to let me know.

Just kidding, I’ll create a different floor plan this evening. Maybe the long hallway will work after all.
