First of all, thanks for your comments in my last thread. It was planned as a three-family house, but now we are starting over and just want to build a single-family house for ourselves.
A few details about the plot (there is still an old building on it, which will be demolished, see property 24):
- 1170 m² (0.29 acres)
- no slope, flat
- site coverage ratio & floor area ratio (I’m on the road and need to check these later)
- next to it is a carpentry workshop and the carpentry’s storage hall; a 5 m (16 ft) building setback must be observed.
Number of occupants:
- Parents with 3 children (10, 8, and 3 years old)
Our wishes:
- Guest toilet with shower and a large bathroom
- One kitchen (possibly open plan) with lots of natural light; my wife runs a cooking channel on YouTube
- Two stories (preferably) or as few roof slopes as possible
- Roof style = gable roof? (we definitely want it to be a usable attic, possibly for us or the children)
- No basement
- Brick cladding on the exterior
- Carport or garage; we’re still flexible on this…
- Possibly a guest room/office on the ground floor
- Possibly a granny flat / secondary unit? In case we’re alone at some point and the house becomes too big for us…
My architect is currently on vacation; he will take care of it when he returns… and when the design is ready, I will post it here.
Questions:
- Do you have any additional ideas on what I should consider or specify?
- We like this sample plan (see attachment). What do you think of it? (The attic is not included, the room layout fits well.)
I appreciate any useful comments .... (probably also a matter of taste)
PS: The plot scale is 1:500

Advantage of having a room on the ground floor for older age does not count
1. No shower
2. Room too small if someone needs help getting up, a walker, etc.
Later on
Stairlift, and you can still use the large familiar rooms.
Replacement may be possible. I can imagine that the laptop would still end up on the dining table.
Both my husband and I occasionally work from home. We always sit at the dining table or outside. It is nicer.

- A shower should be installed downstairs in the guest toilet; otherwise, a second shower in the attic?
- Regarding the replacement... well, regular laptops can't keep up with PCs because "rendering (video editing)" consumes a lot of resources. Equally powerful laptops are much more expensive than a PC, and I also play video games sometimes... we’ll see.

My son might have his room in the attic later on.How do you imagine the roof then? It needs to have enough standing height over a decent area, plus a window... Dormer??? Roof window in the living space?

Roof window in the living area?Sorry, but we don’t have a clear idea of the construction yet, we are open to anything... we have seen some examples (online) and thought they were not bad, since we are building without a basement and something like that could be suitable for us...
something like this, for example

Plans are not sensitive data (data privacy), and the communication path is shorter.
