fly-kaiHello,
we have been working on the final layout planning for a solid brick house for almost half a year now. We have already discussed the floor plan with our preferred builder, and will soon have talks with the actual architect.
We would actually like to make the house a bit smaller, but then we lack space on the upper floor. Maybe someone has a suggestion here.
Development plan / Restrictions
Plot size: 850 m² (9149 sq ft)
Slope: no
Number of floors: 2 full floors
Roof type: hip roof / pyramid roof
Style: urban villa
Orientation: house and plot face south
Homeowners’ requirements
2 children’s bedrooms
open kitchen / living / dining area
Number of floors: 2 full floors + basement for utility room, sauna, workshop, etc.
Number of residents: 2 adults + 1 or 2 children
Guest WC on the ground floor, but without shower; this will be in the basement near the sauna later
Guests per year: practically zero
modern construction method
open kitchen with island
fireplace as room divider (between living and dining area) or built into the wall as shown in the plan
single prefabricated garage with covered walkway to the house = carport
House design
What do we like / dislike?
The bay window on the ground floor (living room bottom/right) is not really necessary, but without it the exterior looks quite boring. One idea would be to move the bay window to the upper floor (same position in x and y) to create a larger children’s room. I think the costs for this would be quite high, though.
Preferred heating technology:
The house will be a solid brick house with 36.5 cm (14 inches) thick bricks. Gas is available at the planned plot. We are undecided between an air-to-water heat pump or a conventional gas boiler with solar thermal system. I have already compared a lot, but in the end, operating costs seem roughly the same. What would you recommend?
If you had to give up something, which details / expansions?
– the bay window
Why is the design like this? For example:
We reviewed many floor plans and adapted one to our needs.
What is the most important / fundamental question about the floor plan in 130 characters?
Is this floor plan practical? How could it be made smaller without losing too much space on the upper floor?
Kind regards,
Kai

The dimensions look odd... on the upper floor, 810cm (320 inches) including walls = approx. 737cm (290 inches) inside minus interior wall = approx. 720cm (283 inches)... that means 360cm (142 inches) per children's room... but there are no realistic furniture layouts shown.
Stair dimensions?
Ceiling height?
What are the dimensions of the plot?
I also consider the bay window unnecessary.

Hello,
the floor-to-ceiling height should be standard to start with, so 2.50 m (8 ft 2 in).
I sketched the staircase at about 2 x 2 m (6 ft 6 in x 6 ft 6 in). That should be roughly right for a half-turn staircase, shouldn’t it?
You’re right about the furniture in the children’s room. At the moment, only the changing table and a baby crib are shown, so it’s not a regular bed.
The plot is about 26 m (85 ft) wide and 34 m (112 ft) long, with a corner missing at the front left (near the driveway).
Best regards,
Kai

Hello,
sorry, the measurements are still a bit "rough" and will of course need to be rounded to the nearest clean dimensions. I have displayed all the measurements here; I hope everything is visible. Unfortunately, I don’t have a proper CAD system for private use...
