Hello everyone,
Our dream of owning a home is finally coming true, and we were able to purchase a plot of land in a new development area.
We already have the first drafts. Overall, we really like the direction, but some details are not yet exactly how we want them.
Therefore, we hope to receive some suggestions for improvements here.
Development Plan / Restrictions
Plot size: 680m2 (7316 ft2)
Slope: no – the plot slopes about 2–2.5m (6.6–8.2 ft) over the length of 30m (98 ft)
Floor area ratio: 0.4
Gross floor area ratio: -
Building line, construction limits: visible in the attachments
Edge development: yes according to building regulations – max. length 9m (30 ft) (The garage is planned on the boundary)
Number of parking spaces: 2
Number of floors: 2
Roof type: mono-pitched roof, flat roof, gable roof, hipped roof, pyramidal roof
Architectural style: -
Orientation: south
Maximum heights / limits: max. wall height: 6.5m (21 ft) / max. ridge height: 12.5m (41 ft)
Other requirements -
Owner Requirements
Architectural style, roof type, building type: modern, simple / hipped roof (no pyramidal roof) or possibly gable roof
Basement, floors: basement + 2 full floors
Number of occupants, ages: 3 people (32, 31, 13)
Space requirement on ground floor and upper floor: approx. 90–100m2 (970–1076 ft2) each
Office: family use or home office? Both – later possibly usable as a bedroom
Overnight guests per year: 3–5
Open or closed layout: open
Traditional or modern construction: traditional
Open kitchen, kitchen island: yes, kitchen unit without upper cabinets + kitchen island
Number of dining seats: 6 (expandable to 8)
Fireplace: yes
Music/stereo wall
Balcony, roof terrace: possibly roof terrace on the garage
Garage, carport: garage
Utility garden, greenhouse: no
Other wishes / special features / daily routine, also explanations why something should/should not be: open living kitchen with pantry and “glass front” facing the garden / platform staircase / walk-in closet in the bedroom / 2 nearly equally sized rooms on the upper floor / office later also usable as bedroom, hence the shower bathroom on the ground floor
House Design
Planner: architect + our ideas / adjustments
What do you particularly like? Why? – The open living area including access to the south-facing terrace – especially the arrangement/layout of the kitchen plus access to the pantry. We would adopt the basement exactly as planned. Possibly add a direct external access via stairs. We also like the size of the children’s rooms on the upper floor. The children’s rooms should face south here.
What do you not like? Why? – Entrance area on the ground floor – we would like a niche or similar for shoes, coats, etc., so you don’t “stumble” over these or see everything immediately. Possibly a “mudroom” would be very practical.
Regarding the upper floor, the biggest change from today’s perspective would be: the access to the bedroom through the “walk-in closet” is not ideal for us. The roof terrace overlooking the bathroom is, in our opinion, only a suboptimal solution. The roof terrace is not a must, and if it exists, it will not be over the main entrance.
Cost estimate according to architect/planner: 500,000€
Preferred heating system: heat pump
If you have to give up, which details / extensions
- can you give up: roof terrace
- cannot give up: large garage, shower bathroom on the ground floor, guest room / office on the ground floor
As mentioned before, the draft is already very much in line with what we like. We are currently considering rotating the house and possibly placing the entrance between the garage and the house. However, this would shift everything completely.
We are grateful for any suggestions and look forward to your comments.

Have you ever talked to an architect? Yes, the design was created by an architect based on our specifications. (see post above)

We really like your design. Just one question: how do you access the basement?!
Upstairs, we might consider replacing the balcony with two equally sized rooms.
The solution with the vestibule and the cloakroom is great!!

Not bad, but somehow quite "standard." But that's exactly what this is supposed to prevent; that's why you go to an architect and not to a contractor with a draftsman.

I hope this way you can better understand what we value. If you have communicated your wishes to him in the same way, his design should actually fit much better. Here, however, it feels like he just modified an old design.

Upstairs, we might consider making two equally sized rooms instead of the balcony. I’m afraid that would compromise the elegance. Unfortunately, it’s not that simple.
But it’s just playing around to gather ideas anyway.
I think many are now wondering (myself included) why you want two identical children’s bedrooms. Could you briefly explain? Are you planning to have another child?

At first, our son could use the room as a living room, and if we have another child, we would have two nearly equal-sized bedrooms. So it’s not out of the question.
