Hello everyone,
we are still relatively at the beginning of our house construction, which is expected to start next spring. Until then, we have sat down and thought about how our floor plan should look later on.
Development Plan / Restrictions
Plot size: approx. 650m² (final confirmation pending)
Slope: no
Site occupancy index: 0.4
Floor area ratio: ?
Building envelope, building line and boundary
Number of parking spaces: 2
Number of floors: 2 full stories
Roof type: gable roof with 23° pitch
Maximum heights / limits: ridge height 7.8m (25.6 feet), no eaves height or pitch specification
Homeowner Requirements
Basement, stories: no basement, 2 full stories
Office: family use or home office? Both
Open or closed architecture: open, but without a gallery
Traditional or modern design: modern
Open kitchen, kitchen island: open, without island
Fireplace: yes, see drawing
Balcony, roof terrace: still considering converting the garage roof into a terrace, access from the master bedroom would be possible
Garage, carport: yes, double garage
House Design
Who designed it:
- Do-it-yourself, with help from my sister (technical draftsman)
What do you especially like? Why?
Large dining area in the bay window, orientation of living and dining areas to the south
What do you dislike? Why?
-
Price estimate according to architect/planner:
-
Personal budget limit for the house, including fittings:
€400,000 (around $440,000), structural shell and interior mostly self-built
Preferred heating system:
Air-to-water heat pump combined with underfloor heating
Why is the design the way it is now? For example:
Adapted to future needs (family growth, etc.)
What is the most important/basic question about the floor plan in 130 characters?
Do you find the floor plan divided sensibly? Please share improvement ideas from experienced homeowners here.
Thank you very much for any feedback,
devon

Alessandro15 May 2020 14:42You still lack the large wardrobe you need for 6(!!!) people!
You have 12 shoes lying around just by the entrance if everyone only leaves one pair there!
For me, the office would immediately be converted into a wardrobe room, unless I regularly need it.
Forget about that tiny storage closet for the vacuum cleaner and put it under the stairs instead.
Instead of the drawn-in storage closet, create an access to the pantry here so you can put groceries directly in there when you come home. Unless you trip over the shoes first.

Drasleona15 May 2020 14:49I think the living room has been nicely enlarged. What kind of windows are planned at the top of the living room? Floor-to-ceiling or with a sill?
I would reconsider the kitchen layout... Skip the pantry and storage room and use all that space for the kitchen. You can easily create a storage cupboard by closing off the staircase and using the space underneath.

Okay, next try: With the emphasis on "try," the drainage in the master bathroom is turning out to be as suspenseful as a thriller. Starting with the passage between the garage and the house, I notice a dominance of corridors that make the people inside feel the house is cramped. To put it mildly, this was not a step forward.
