Hello everyone,
Although we already have our building permit (planning permission), I am still interested in how you would have done it and what you might have changed.
Development plan/restrictions
Plot size: 1000m² (12,000 sq ft)
Peripheral development: only garage without windows allowed
Number of floors: two full stories
Roof type: gable roof
Architectural style: modern
Orientation: northeast, so the garden is in the southwest
Client requirements
We wanted space but no wasted rooms, like some houses with, for example, a gallery. A large living-dining area, since that is where we spend most of our time. The office must be on the ground floor, and we also wanted two bathrooms downstairs because when we are older, we want to live only on the ground floor. A basement is within the budget and needed to accommodate the pellet heating system and pellet storage. We are a family planning for two children. The family planning is complete with the second child.
Style, roof type, building type: modern, gable roof
Basement, floors: basement, two full stories
Number of people, ages: 2 adults, later 2 children: 27, 31 years old
Space requirements on ground floor, upper floor: about 75 m² (800 sq ft) each
Office: home office
Guests per year: 2–4
Open or closed architecture: rather open
Conventional or modern construction: modern
Open kitchen, kitchen island: open kitchen with island
Number of dining seats: 6
Fireplace: no
Music/stereo wall: no
Balcony, roof terrace: no balcony, possibly a covered terrace later
Garage, carport: garage
Utility garden, relaxation garden, snack garden
Other special features
Photovoltaic system
House design
Who designed it:
- Planner from a construction company
What do you especially like? Why?
We really like the floor plan.
What don’t you like? Why?
Maybe some space is wasted? Living-dining room could be too small?
Price estimate according to architect/planner: 450,000€
Personal price limit for the house, including equipment: 530,000€
Heating technology: pellet heating and underfloor heating, electric heater so the photovoltaic system can also heat water with electricity
If you have to give up something, which details/extensions
can you not live without:
Ground floor bathroom, office
Why is the design how it is now?
Individual planning
What is the most important/basic question about the floor plan in 130 characters?
Requesting opinions on room layout and floor plan design
Best regards,
Lisa & Udo

Well then:
But it doesn’t help if you realize everything somehow feels cramped.
Yeah. In my opinion for a two-person household, it’s too small. For two people, unless you want to save space for whatever reason. For four, I don’t find it sufficient.
Okay, the man can retreat to the basement. Or the woman, she can go and do the ironing. Is that really the intention?
The open-plan area also lacks floor-to-ceiling windows to really enjoy the view of the planned nice garden.
Completely exaggerated expectations. One bathroom with a shower would be enough. To me, the space is totally wasted.
I would create a storage room on the ground floor, for example where the tiny WC is now.
I don’t see the bed there. Where would a bed be placed? And a wardrobe? Where would the wardrobe go?

We wanted the two WCs, we will be four people plus friends/boyfriend/girlfriend. In the morning it can take longer to distribute ourselves properly.

I completely agree. The space is much more urgently needed in the open-plan living area. You can’t use as much space for bathroom functions as you think.Is the office space sufficient to convert it into a master bedroom?
What ceiling heights have you planned? The staircase with its 14 x 19 cm (5.5 x 7.5 inches) steps suggests a maximum usable finished ceiling height of 240 cm (7 ft 10.5 in).
Plans without measurements and those that do not reflect the current status are always difficult to assess.
