Hello everyone,
we would like to present our floor plan to you. It is based on our ideas and preferences and is an initial self-created draft. We are planning on a nearly level plot without a basement under the house.
What is important to us is easy access to the covered terrace, a parent zone that we can use even in old age, and the possibility to separate the upper floor from the ground floor quite easily.
We look forward to your opinions!
Development Plan / Restrictions
Size of the plot: approx. 1000 m² (12000 sq ft) planned, layout still to be decided
Slope: slight inclination to the south
Site coverage ratio: 0.2 – 0.3
Floor area ratio
Building envelope, building line and boundary
Edge development
Number of parking spaces
Number of stories
Roof type: no restrictions
Style: modern
Orientation: see attachment, south is at the bottom
Maximum heights / limits:
Further requirements
Client Requirements
Style, roof type, building type: modern, flat roof, shed roof or hip roof

Additional wishes / special features / daily routine, also reasons why certain things should or should not be included: we want the option to separate the ground floor and upper floor. On the upper floor, it should be possible to install a small kitchenette and a washing machine in the bathroom. The ground floor should also be well suited for use in old age. Covered/wind-protected terrace, easy access from the kitchen to the terrace.
House Design
Planning by:

Personal price limit for the house, including equipment: 450000
Preferred heating technology: ground or air heat
If you had to give up certain details or extensions
- Can you give up:
- Cannot give up:
Why did the design turn out as it is now?
For example, a mixture of many examples from various magazines...
What is the main question about the floor plan summarized in 130 characters?
How do you like the floor plan? What do you consider absolute no-gos? I look forward to suggestions and critiques. Thanks in advance!!

the toilet is located in the dirty area. But only the guest toilet, that wouldn’t bother me.
Your private toilet is truly private. That is much more important.
With Kaho’s design, all my pain points would be eliminated.

What bothers me about this: the toilet is located in the dirty area. You want a guest toilet that you’ll also use yourself, without a separate toilet in the bathroom, right? For that, you need some kind of direct connection to the bedroom; otherwise, at an older age, you won’t manage to get there at night (this usually starts around 45 years old). Especially if you have to go three times a night... That’s quite a specific situation. I think having an additional toilet in the bathroom is more elegant – of course, it’s more costly.
Would placing the pool area on the west side also be conceivable?

The open-plan area isn’t really open; it feels too divided to me. Removing the wall is an easy task.
Would it be possible for the entire living area to be arranged in a line facing south? Of course, well zoned.

Regarding the inner corner: what if it was shifted a bit towards the south? Then the first view would definitely be towards the window, right? That would need to be checked. A sketch?
But as I said, everyone else thinks it’s good – so it probably is.

Also, I would keep the living room bay window and make the exterior wall on the south side straight. kaho674 schrieb:

Removing that wall is an easy job.
Would it be okay if the entire living area is aligned along the south side? Of course, well-zoned.
We’d have to take a look. Sketch?
But as I said, everyone else says it’s good – so it probably is. We would like to have plumbing preparation for a toilet in the bathroom so that we can decide later if we need it or not. We still have some time before 45.
Yes, the living area can also be aligned along the south side, and bedroom, bathroom, and pool area can be on the west side. Do you already have ideas for that?

Honestly, I don’t understand the problem with the staircase. There is a continuous wall in the middle of the stairs. The staircase rests on the upper floor slab. On the ground floor, a sloping ceiling forms in the bathroom (which is probably not ideal), and on the upper floor, the office entrance is located on the left. The upper floor slab rests on the wall next to the bathroom. That should work, right? No, the side of the staircase (the other half) also needs to be separated from the bathroom; otherwise, you end up with a triangular open view into the bathroom.
