ᐅ Floor plan design for a new urban villa with a basement

Created on: 28 Feb 2019 20:40

Hello everyone,

We are currently in the planning phase for a new build and are currently favoring the following floor plans:
I look forward to your opinions and suggestions.

Development plan/restrictions: no relevant restrictions for our project
Plot size: 638 sqm (6867 sq ft)

Town villa with hipped roof: 2 full stories plus basement, terrace side with bay window
Number of occupants: 2 plus 1–2 in the future
Office in the basement: home office plus occasional client meetings
Overnight guests per year: approx. 5–10
Open architecture
Modern construction
Open kitchen
Fireplace: built-in masonry stove; considering a water-bearing fireplace

Garage: double garage with hipped roof style directly attached to the house
Entrance side = street side, entrance with canopy in hipped roof style
Solid construction without ventilation system

Planning by:
- Planner from a construction company based on our requirements

What we like particularly: large living/dining area and spacious bedrooms
What we dislike: the small office/storage room on the ground floor without windows
Preferred heating system: air-to-water heat pump + underfloor heating + fireplace,
also considering switching to a gas heating system.

Additionally, we are uncertain whether to use 36.5cm (14.4 inches) bricks with a U-value of 0.23 or 36.5cm (14.4 inches) bricks with integrated insulation (U-value 0.18) — are the additional costs worthwhile?

Is it worth installing a water-bearing fireplace?

Imagine the double sink with the mirror above it as a room divider that shields the shower standing freely in the corner of the room (without enclosure or curtain). While Nonstop Nonsens presented this as a joke, here it is meant seriously.

Is the floor plan really so bad that we should start completely from scratch?

Yes, as Thies (11ant) already said, starting with a blank sheet helps reduce the risk of repeating the same mistakes.

Please share the site plan in the thread so we can get a better idea.

A bay window is a nice feature if placed in the right spot. But it’s also expensive. You’re also planning a basement and a double garage – can we assume the budget is around 750,000 (currency)? If so, get a proper architect to work on the plan, not some careless planner. Once the layout is finalized, you can still make changes.

Aside from that, do you really want an office in the basement for client visits? Wouldn’t it be more convenient if visitors didn’t have to walk through the private living area – meaning having a separate exterior entrance?

Cadastral site plan with parcels 2326–2328, dashed boundary lines, green marked area.

Here is the site plan; south is at the lower corner of the plot:

Is the house alone costing 750k? No, we are at 450k, but with our own labor for the interior finishing.

450,000 says who?
Have you looked at the scope of work description?
450,000 plus garage, landscaping, and additional construction costs (which are not negligible due to the groundwork), yes, but without large-format tiles, water-based fireplace, anthracite windows.

Ground floor plan: entrance, living/dining area, kitchen, office, hallway, shower/toilet, garage

Upper floor plan: layout with bedroom, walk-in closet, two children’s rooms, corridor, bathroom, staircase.

We have already requested a change from the construction company and its architect, including for the office on the ground floor.
The bathroom on the upper floor remains as in the original floor plan.

For 450,000 euros you can already get a nice house
Skip the basement, carport instead of garage, no bay window
