Hello everyone,
After following the discussions here for some time, I would like to join in and share my own concerns.
We have purchased a 1,700m² plot of land (28x60m width x depth). The site coverage ratio is 0.2. By the way, we are a couple in our late 20s and currently have no children. We want to plan for one child’s bedroom and one study room (home office).

After following the discussions here for some time, I would like to join in and share my own concerns.
We have purchased a 1,700m² plot of land (28x60m width x depth). The site coverage ratio is 0.2. By the way, we are a couple in our late 20s and currently have no children. We want to plan for one child’s bedroom and one study room (home office).
About the plot:
- no slope
- Restrictions: up to 2 full floors allowed, site coverage ratio 0.2, roof pitch must be 40%
- Location: rural village, no through road, a residential street runs parallel to the lower boundary (bathroom to guest WC) at about 5 meters (16 feet) distance
About the house:
- Desired house type: bungalow
- Desired size: 140-145m²
- no basement, no upper floor
- Double garage with access to the house; if building regulations allow, this should be the only entrance door and it should be built on the boundary line
- Kitchen: open plan to make the living/dining area appear larger
- To avoid numerous doors in the hallway → entrance to bathroom/bedroom via dressing room and a "corner in the hallway"
- 2 patio doors, one from the kitchen (two-panel) and one from the living room (sliding door)
- Gas heating (underfloor heating) + solar support for domestic hot water production
- No (decentralized or centralized) ventilation system
- Bricks: Poroton T10 36.5cm (or T10 42cm?)
- Covered terrace
- Tall and narrow window between kitchen and hallway to brighten the hallway
House design:
- We created the design ourselves as laypersons.
- Coordination with the architect/structural engineer of the construction company will take place in September
What is very important to us:
- Access to the house via the garage, since 99% of the time we enter the house by car and don’t want to walk to the house in cold or rainy weather
- Terrace facing west or south
- 4 rooms (bedroom, living room, child’s room, study)
What is relatively important to us:
- Utility room (HAR) should not be too small (minimum 12m²)
- Utility room and kitchen should not be too far from the entrance (garage)
- Especially large/wide attic ladder
- Bathroom and guest WC should each have a shower
Open questions:
- Do you have any general suggestions for the floor plan?
- Building materials: The construction company uses Poroton T10 36.5cm for exterior walls and 11.5cm for interior walls as standard (no additional insulation in the walls)
- We don’t want to build a passive house or extremely energy-efficient house, so T10 bricks seem sufficient. Or should we invest more here? My idea was to increase the wall thickness to 42cm (outside) and 17.5cm (inside), as 11.5cm seems too thin to route cables, sockets, etc.
- Poroton T10: I’ve read that the thin ribs and thinner exterior walls make the bricks less stable. Is there any truth to this, or would we have problems fixing furniture, for example?
- Poroton is said not to be very soundproof... however, I hear more often that doors and windows are typically the weak points regarding noise (and thermal insulation).
- The window between kitchen and hallway is planned to be 200x30cm and positioned above the wall cabinets. Do you see this as a good idea, or could it cause problems?
- Is the only access to the house through the garage possible?
- I’m uncertain about the layout of the bathrooms; is it optimal as shown?
- We would like tile flooring in the kitchen area, utility room, garage, and hallway (?), and laminate flooring elsewhere. Is this okay with underfloor heating?
- I find some rooms quite small. The hallway width is only 1.33m (4.4 feet), so nothing more can be sacrificed.

Well... resistance... people just want it that way, and they will live in it. Yes, resistance. When asked for the site plan, only overall dimensions are provided. And they won’t actually live in it, but will eternally thank the building planning authorities that this youthful mistake can’t go beyond a drawing.

I open my front door and instead of nature, I see my car... You’ve put it very well: basically there is indeed a real front door here, only that in front of it there is a fully enclosed garage instead of a carport—or the cars stand in a drive-through vestibule, depending on how you look at it.
And all of this is intended as a clever idea to save on doors and hallway space. It’s hard to decide whether it’s a tribute to Sisyphus or to Pyrrhus—but in any case, it fits perfectly in the tradition of Schilda.
