Hi, we are building a house with a very well-known prefab house company, and this is the preliminary floor plan.
Site Plan/Restrictions
Plot size: 1100 sqm (11,840 sq ft)
No site development plan/land use restrictions
Client Requirements
Style, roof type, building type – urban villa with hipped roof
Basement, floors – no basement, 2 full stories
Number of people, ages – mom, dad, 2 boys, and grandparents
Office: will be used as a naturopathic practice
Guest sleepers per year: many!
Open or closed architecture: open
Open kitchen
Number of dining seats: 6
Garage, carport: possibly carport
Wishes/Particulars/Daily routine: shared use of the practice by the client and grandma, who lives in the extension. Possibly a third child (hence a room on the ground floor with a shower).
House Design
Who designed it:
- Modified standard plan from a large prefab house company
What do you particularly like? Why?
- Gallery + open ground floor, large floor-to-ceiling double windows
What do you dislike? Why?
- Possibly the living room is too small
Estimated price according to architect/designer:
- approx. 475,000 € (only the house, without land)
Personal price limit for house including fittings: 500,000 €
Preferred heating system: gas boiler and underfloor heating
If you had to give up anything, which details/extensions
- Could give up: possibly different window arrangement, possibly 2 bathrooms upstairs
- Cannot give up: 3rd children’s room and the practice
Why is the design like it is now? e.g.
See above: practice, possibly 3 children, multigenerational house
What is the most important/basic question about the floor plan in 130 characters?
We searched a long time for the ideal house for us and my parents and finally found it. Before signing next week and starting construction, we want a last check. Any improvement suggestions? Maybe how to enlarge the living room? Thanks in advance. PS: we want to remove the windows marked in yellow. All windows in the house are floor-to-ceiling.

Widen the extension by 60 cm (24 inches)
Then the bedroom will be 4.30 m (14 ft) wide
Wall to bed 1.4 cm (0.6 inches)
Bed 220 cm (frame, adjustable care bed base) (87 inches)
Bed to wall 70 cm (28 inches)
Now the extension is likely outside the building permit / planning permission area, so rotate it
The entrance would then be on the north side without an intermediate structure
The intermediate structure will house technical equipment for both buildings. It can be extended in length Thank you very much, I will definitely reconsider this idea as well!

Just a quick question: why gas if a tank is necessary? Why not a heat pump?We would have needed a huge system to supply both houses, which would have cost €20,000 (about $22,000) more. We carefully considered this and listened to many opinions before making our decision.

The total is 266I have 270m² (okay, the boiler room doesn’t have underfloor heating, but there are wall heaters in the bathrooms) and I’m not paying $20,000 for the heat pump. And you’re saying the heat pump should be $20,000 more expensive than the gas boiler including the tank? Sorry, your company seems strange… I could just about understand $10,000, but $20,000 is a rip-off.
