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

So she mainly cooks a lot of CRAZY stuff... to be honest: after I checked out the channel on YouTube and looked at the titles, my enthusiasm to actually watch a video was quite reduced just from reading the titles.
It’s too much craziness for me and way too many titles.
So my tip: use a catchy title, no headline story in the header! And a bit less craziness.
Otherwise, I find it very likeable right now, very basic, very authentic. Nobody feels intimidated thinking they can’t cook it themselves.
If you want to expand it, you should consider who your target audience is and how professional you want to appear. At the moment, it’s more amateurish, but that has its own charm. However, if you want to make money from it (for example, through product placement), then it needs a bit more.
As I said, I think it has charm and doesn’t scare people off with an overly professional look. That can also be the concept!
But it sounds like you want to take it to the next level, so then it needs a bit more, and in that case, I agree with the elephant.It was/is just a *just-for-fun project*... the response has simply been so big that we are considering expanding it with a new build...
Regarding the video titles, it’s a bit tricky... don’t let that distract you.
Thanks for your feedback!!

Building zone according to land-use ordinance: GE I must have missed it, but how do you get approval for a residential building in a GE zone?
Nowadays, it’s usually already difficult to get manager apartments approved in these areas.

Usually, even getting manager apartments approved is difficult nowadays.The old property was used both commercially and privately... the building year is 1892, so it’s an exception that we are allowed to build new there.

Do you already have a written permit or an official decision? Section 8 of the land use ordinance explicitly does not allow residential use in the commercial area.We submitted a preliminary building inquiry: it was positive and we have it in writing.

But she doesn’t do food photos, Yes, she does, but only as moving images. The genre is food, and it doesn’t tolerate grayish haze or yellow tint, not even if it’s due to lighting. "Set lighting" partly means "excluding random light."

If you want to develop it further, you should consider who your target audience is and how professional you want to appear. That’s exactly the question: do you want to share your hobby with a few hundred followers, or do you want more, and convert them into newsletter subscribers who buy the exclusive spice mix of the week online?
Accordingly, it might be just right to cook only with "standard household tools." But if the trend is to offer your interested audience a Binford 6100 turbo stove, it may be tax-wise advisable not to place it in the family kitchen.

We submitted a preliminary building enquiry: it was positive... also documented in writing. Is that for the building volume itself or specifically for residential use?
