Hello dear forum members,
We are not only new here, but also at the very beginning of our building considerations. Currently, the purchase of a plot of land is being finalized by a notary.
The plot immediately impressed us, even though we didn’t have any concrete ideas yet about how to build on it. We are now at the start of the planning phase / orientation process.
The attached sketches are the result of initial thoughts and a first discussion with a house construction company.
At this stage, we are grateful for any suggestions / considerations / shared practical experiences that could help us avoid detours.
Development plan / restrictions
Plot size – 680 sqm (7320 sqft)
Slope – slight decline of about 1.5 – 2 m (5 – 6.5 ft) over the entire depth of the plot, ground level at the street
Floor area ratio (FAR) – 0.4
Site coverage ratio – 0.8
Number of parking spaces – one in front of the garage, 5 m (16 ft) required
Number of storeys – 1.5 storeys, 2 storeys allowed
Roof shape – pitch 30–48 degrees, max. 0.87 m (2.9 ft) knee wall, dark color mandatory
Orientation – north / south as per sketches
Clients’ requirements
Build on slab foundation
2 people, planning for children started (max. 2), 4 dining seats
- Office as a dedicated and indispensable home office on the ground floor (approx. 11 sqm (118 sqft), one long wall without windows required)
- 2 bathrooms with showers (ground floor guest WC with shower and main bathroom upstairs) → 2 dogs
- The lady insists on having a pantry next to/by the kitchen and is not open to compromise on this
- Rather conventional construction method, no special requirements
Garage, carport – sketches show a 3 x 7 m (10 x 23 ft) garage with a door at the back right to access the terrace / garden
House design
Planning by: rough, initial planning discussion with a solid brick-and-mortar house company
Price estimate according to architect/planner – 255k house, 30k additional construction costs, 50k plot, 13k garage
Total including additional costs – around 350,000 euros
Preferred heating technology: undecided (air-to-water heat pump and underfloor heating are included in the “offered” house)
If you have to give up something, which details or expansions
- What you can do without:
These are already the “essential” specifications, so there is no possibility to “give up” anything without the lady burying me somewhere in the garden.

And?
What’s the status?
I’m in favor of a gable roof with an 87cm (34 inches) knee wall, budgeting 90-95cm (35-37 inches) at the bottom, nicely including an office and a shower toilet. Upstairs, cleverly partition the knee wall areas so that around two-thirds of the upper floor is spacious living space with fewer steep, limiting slopes.
A cozy gable-roofed house on a great plot.
Danish home?

polydeikes21 Aug 2018 01:03Currently, discussions with the bank regarding financial feasibility are ongoing, and the construction specification of the original house is with the structural engineer in the home financing department.
Over the weekend, I gathered some materials. I visited the Gussek house at the local model home center, but at first glance, it seems very expensive (GK3 / GK4). I also visited Danhaus, but the salesperson is on vacation. I collected brochures from a stair exhibition.
I was not able to fit our desired layout for the ground floor into a smaller two-story house. I will only continue considering this option once I receive feedback from the bank.
At the moment, I am leaning toward a house roughly based on the original 11 x 9 m (36 x 30 ft) dimensions, plus or minus a little.

Personally, I have developed a visual preference for the exterior look of the Danhaus Engelsby with a panoramic bay window. However, we do not yet have any promotional prices or construction specifications to properly evaluate it.

Good gracious, get into the basket quickly!I have always found Danhaus rather modest. But if you like it...P
polydeikes21 Aug 2018 10:44Oh, what’s going on with Danhaus again? Was that referring to the purely visual aspect?
