Conservative or modern construction
modern
Open kitchen, cooking island

Number of dining seats

Garage
House Design
Who created the plan:
- Planner from a construction company
What do you especially like? Why?
Utility room is outside the house, more space for living area
What do you dislike? Why?
Bathroom, wanted to include a sauna, but passage between sink and bathtub is only 66cm (26 inches) wide (see attachment 3)
Estimated price according to architect/planner:
not yet available
Personal price limit for the house, including fixtures:
430,000
Preferred heating system:
heat pump
If you had to compromise, on which details/features?
- Actually, we cannot give up anything because it has already been cut back significantly
Why does the design look like it does now? Example:
The house was originally designed larger by my sister’s planner, together with the planner. It was then reduced to 160m² (1722 sq ft) living space.
What is the main/basic question about the floor plan in 130 characters?
We are financing with L-Bank, so only 160m² (1722 sq ft) of living space is allowed. We tried to include everything we want.
What do you think about the design? What can be changed or better distributed?
In the third attachment is the bathroom with sauna, but the passage is difficult. Do you have any ideas on how to design the bathroom so everything fits?
We are not sure which terrace windows to choose, so the alternatives are shown upstairs.
The terrace faces the garden and west.
Thank you very much in advance

We have approval for a roof terrace on the 6m (20 feet) wide boundary garage with up to a 3m (10 feet) distance to the neighbor. That’s why I said that a meter would be possible on a garage about 4 meters (13 feet) wide. I was referring to the 3-meter (10 feet) boundary construction limit, not to garages in general. I wrote that a bit unclearly, sorry.

The garage seems to be over 4 meters (13 feet) wide, so you could probably create a small corner as an exit from the bathroom onto the garage roof.

That’s why I wrote that on an approximately 4-meter (13 feet) wide garage, one meter (3 feet) would be possible. My comment referred to the setback building line of 3 meters (10 feet), not generally to a garage. I didn’t phrase it very well, sorry. Yes, but even in the way I interpreted your statement, you would be right in some cases. Our general contractor told us that in this region, each building authority interprets the law differently. In one place, the boundary structure (garage) is not allowed to exceed 3 meters (10 feet) in height, regardless of the garage’s width; in another, a partition wall must be built on the 3-meter (10 feet) line inside the building (a drywall partition is sufficient, which was initially required by our building authority but later accepted without it); and in yet another location, maintaining a 3-meter (10 feet) distance alone is enough…

Neovoalex2 Jun 2019 22:26Hello everyone, thanks for the comments and criticism. Much of it is valid, some not, probably due to missing information. I haven’t added dimensions yet.
North is to the right of the garage.
I will try to change the access to the bedroom.
No idea about the projection into the garage. I will address that.
The sauna will be removed!
The bathroom is currently being designed without any slopes.
The hallway would be quite narrow if I move the wall forward and place the chimney in the child’s room.
I know the utility room is inconvenient, but I have no space inside the house. If I put it on the ground floor, I would have to enlarge the upper floor, and then the total area would be over 160 square meters (1,722 square feet). But where else could I put it?
For my TV, the distance is fine.

Why financing through L-Bank?L-Bank because of the lower interest rate. Savings of around 40,000.
