hillenbrandc30 Mar 2020 14:02Hello everyone,
it would be great if you could take a look at the floor plan and share your opinion.
Criticism is also welcome.
We want to build a new house with 160m² (1,722 sq ft) of usable space and an attic floor to replace a basement. Later on, this house should have the option to be rented out as two separate apartments.
Currently, we need the space for our two children.
Thank you in advance for your comments.
Development plan / restrictions
Plot size: 580m² (6,243 sq ft) No. 13
No slope
Floor area ratio 0.4
Plot ratio 0.6
Building envelope as soon as infrastructure is completed, building line and boundary
Number of parking spaces -> standard parking regulations
Number of floors: 2 full floors
Roof shape: no restrictions
Style direction
Orientation: south (10% deviation)
Maximum height limits: ridge height, here max. 10 meters (33 ft) above street level allowed
Roof pitch minimum 8%
Builder requirements
Style: modern, roof shape: pitched roof, building type: two-family house
No basement, 2.5 floors
Owner-occupied for 4 people, ages 31, 30, 10, 8
Rental unit for 4-6 people
Space requirement per full floor: 80m² (860 sq ft) usable area, attic for storage (basement replacement)
Office: child’s bedroom or home office?
Open floor plan
Modern construction method
Open kitchen, kitchen island
Number of dining seats: 6-8
No fireplace
Balcony in attic, roof terrace on the garage
Double garage, parking spaces
Utility garden
House design
Who designed it: self-designed
What do you particularly like? Why? Open and usable for the current purpose and later rental option, modern construction method, optimal use of space with minimal wasted area
What do you dislike? Why? Hallway is partly somewhat narrow or awkwardly shaped
Price estimate according to architect/designer: 450T
Personal price limit for house, including fixtures: 500T
Preferred heating technology: air-source heat pump with photovoltaics
Why is the design like it is now? The building must be usable both for owner occupancy and later rental
What do you consider particularly good or bad? We are currently only considering the owner occupancy and the option for future rental -> realistic and sensible?

The presumably south-facing site plan shows detached single-family house symbols. I also consider the plot size sufficient for building a detached house. Does the development plan allow for semi-detached (duplex) buildings, and is there already a partner for the other half? With the unusual gable side, finding one might not be easy. Someone in their early 30s now is more likely to build again “after having children” rather than dividing the excess space.

hillenbrandc30 Mar 2020 14:41Hello 11ant,
the partner has already been found. A semi-detached house is allowed to be built and has already been included in the development guidelines. Yes, we will probably build again afterwards and plan to rent out this house with two stories.
Regards
Carina

Use the same designer and ideally also the construction manager, even if contracts are awarded separately. The critical points are the connecting side—both regarding the house and the site grading—and the question of basement construction. A mix of building methods (for example, one neighbor building with masonry and the other with timber framing) is possible, but it is best to align the gable profiles consistently.

option for rental later on (so 2 separate apartments)In my opinion, this is a bad idea because it is almost never possible to combine a single-family house floor plan and a two-unit floor plan without compromises. What is the bathroom in the attic for?
@11ant already mentioned the legal aspect: is it even allowed to have 2 dwelling units in a semi-detached house?
