House Design
Planner: myself
What do you like most? Why?: direct access from dining and living area to the south-facing terrace
What do you dislike? Why?: distance to garage entrance, bathroom layout, ...
Cost estimate by architect/planner: 330,000 € including exterior works and kitchen
Personal budget limit for house, including fittings: 550,000 €
Preferred heating system: gas

If you have to compromise, on which details/features
-can you compromise on: size of bedroom 1
-can you not compromise on: large open dining and living area directly connected to the south terrace

Why does the design look as it does now?
For example:
I started with the buildable house geometry, how the house can or must be positioned on the plot so that the terrace faces south. A large dining and living area directly opens onto the terrace. The corridor must lead into the center of the large room.

What is the most important/fundamental question about the floor plan summarized in 130 characters?
What would you change and why? Do you see any deal-breakers? Are there other house geometries that would make sense? (The building authority does not allow exceptions at the boundaries.)

Many thanks in advance and best regards

Form follows function. Regarding the dimensions, I would consider Le Corbusier’s Modulor human scale, although the ceiling height does not necessarily have to be the same. It also offers some possibilities for the floor drains. Personally, I would reduce hallway areas and possibly improve their lighting. And I would first let the architect present their ideas.

Enjoy the development process!

Can you provide the exact dimensions of the building envelope? It would be best to add them directly to the sketch.

The design is refreshingly creative. Unusual room shapes can often be used to create character – see the staircase and bathroom. You could add a bit more imagination here, possibly continuing the rounded wall design for the partitions around the shower/toilet.

Hallways with 1 meter (3.3 feet) width are really tight. Is a monopitch roof required? Considering the relatively compact plot, I would think about adding a roof terrace; the monopitch roof could possibly be suggested visually. Place a small transition space behind the garage and install a door to the kitchen. That way, it won’t be so far anymore.

Hello

Someone is really considering the possibilities of the plot. This happens far too rarely here and also in real life. Great.

At least the back part of the corridors seems a bit narrow to me.
Where is the ground floor plan?



Olli

This is definitely an interesting design – here: https://www.hausbau-forum.de/threads/dreieckiges-Grundstück-samt-eiche-Grundriss-mit-l-Form.29277/ you have a kindred spirit. Are you sure your design complies with the floor area ratio?
