ᐅ Site Planning – Which House Type and Size Makes the Most Sense?

Created on: 8 Jan 2019 12:30

Hello everyone,

Our notary appointment is set, and I received the measurements of the plot yesterday.

My husband and I each prefer a different house type.

He favors a townhouse-style villa, while I prefer a gable roof with an elevated knee wall.

I’m attaching the measurements and the development plan, and I would appreciate your opinions on which house type would make the most sense, especially regarding the size, so that there is still a nice garden left.

Next Monday and Friday, we have two appointments with general contractors recommended by our circle of friends.

I want to be well prepared for the meetings, so nothing is “pushed” on me, and above all, to approach this process with realistic expectations!

I’m really looking forward to your recommendations!

Thank you

Yes, start a new thread (and then post the link here), so the questionnaire will be in the new thread as post #1.

I will as soon as I receive the first draft from the architect of the general contractor.

The staff member said he understood our requests, but I’m not so sure about that!

For example, I said I don’t want a straight staircase to the upper floor that basically starts right at the main entrance. He already said something like “that will be difficult”...

He’ll be in for a surprise once I present the changes after collecting ideas here.

And he’s not entirely wrong. A straight staircase requires a lot of space. And if you want a straight staircase that doesn't start at the entrance, it’s not so simple.

How large is your house planned to be?

I don’t want a straight staircase at all, as I’ve already said. I want a staircase located elsewhere, but not directly opposite the front door.

Friends of ours have that in their city villa too, and I don’t like their staircase!

The idea is around 150 square meters (1,615 square feet), but if it ends up being 157 square meters (1,690 square feet), that’s fine too.

The plan is for up to 150 sqm (1,615 sq ft), but if it ends up being 157 sqm (1,690 sq ft), that’s fine.

Sorry, then I misunderstood you.

What I took from your message was that you want a straight staircase, but it shouldn’t start at the entrance.

No problem! Basically, I meant that I don’t want a straight staircase, especially because those are usually located very close to the main entrance.

My idea is roughly like the picture, of course adapted to the conditions (external dimensions, orientation, size, etc.).

The guest room would be our utility room, the guest bathroom without a shower, no entrance hall, and if possible, the small walls by the wardrobe should be removed to make it feel more open. The kitchen should be combined with the dining area and separated from the living room, possibly by sliding doors that slide into the wall or I once saw a panoramic fireplace used as a room divider…

As I said, the picture represents the idea, the dimensions probably won’t fit.
