House Design
Planned by: Do-it-Yourself
What do you like most? Why?
What do you dislike? Why? The walk-in closet is not perfect.
Price estimate by architect/designer:
Personal price limit for the house, including equipment: €500,000
Preferred heating system: Ground-source heat pump
If you had to give up anything, which details or additions
- You could give up: basement, but then larger footprint
- You cannot give up: 2 workrooms
Why is the design the way it is now?
Standard design from a planner? The basic dimensions are based on the Maxime 610 model by Viebrockhaus, with additional influences
What is the most important / fundamental question about the floor plan, summarized in 130 characters?
We already like the floor plan quite a bit. The walk-in closet upstairs is still not ideal. Possibly the entrance could be through the bedroom, which would create more space in the closet.
Windows in the basement have not yet been included in the plan but are, of course, intended.
We would just like to hear some opinions on this since we are completely new to building.

Exactly. What’s so wrong about that? The issue is that people notice something unusual, like it or not, but don’t consider the consequences or whether it actually works. If it were really that good, many homebuilders would adopt this approach. The kitchen design has been part of Viebrockhaus for quite some time... yet they seem to be the only ones using it because a kitchen layout with only a U-shaped corridor variant hasn’t proven practical.

What’s so wrong with that?Nothing wrong at all – forgive my imprecise question. More precisely, I wanted to know if during the on-site meeting you thoroughly considered what it would be like to have it like that in everyday life. Visually and practically, these are often two very different things.https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

Wow.
For now, I’ll keep to myself what I really don’t like... (It would be something quite serious for me, but otherwise I like everything very much. However, with my suggestion, none of this would definitely work anymore.)
...And I have a question: is the basement really necessary? Others with two kids only need a quarter of the space for pantry/utility/laundry/storage.

...And I have a question: Is the basement really necessary? Others with two kids only need about a quarter of the space for pantry/technical room/laundry/storage. Please go ahead and share what you find serious.
No, the basement isn’t strictly necessary. But both of us grew up somewhat “generously” and prefer to have a bit more space.
The basement is not 100% fixed yet.
We still need concrete quotes to see if it’s financially feasible.
