Roof shape: Almost anything possible
Architectural style: Modern / Classic

Other requirements
Client Requirements

House Design
Planning by:
- Do-it-yourself
What do you especially like? Why?
Open living and dining area
Bedroom facing south, bathroom facing east
Price estimate from architect/planner: Shell construction so far €330,000 (excluding garage), CLT construction method
Personal price limit for house including equipment: €420,000
Preferred heating system: undecided so far
If you have to omit, which details/extras
- can you omit: smart home, 3 bathrooms, basement, sauna, balconies, dormers, etc.
- cannot omit: view to the south / southeast
Why is the design as it is now?
After countless drafts, we have now really fallen in love with this rough concept.
A mix of many examples from various magazines...
What makes it particularly good or bad in your opinion?
The plot offers a great view to the south.
So far the unknown factor is the neighbors’ development. We want to plan so that it does not really matter how they build without restricting us much.
What is the most important/basic question about the floor plan summarized in 130 characters?
Of course, we would like some basic suggestions about the floor plan.
Too small, too large, senselessly planned...
We have tried to create simple structures. We don't need any special frills.
The main living area will be the primary room.
Do you think the children’s room sizes are sufficient? How is the lighting there? The windows were just roughly drawn in. Should / must skylights still be added there?
Before we add all the furniture, we would like to know in advance if the basic planning could work.
We have already placed the little house (still with rotated ridge) on the plot.
We are already looking forward to an engaging discussion and are open to every suggestion.
Best regards,
Matthias
PS: Just noticed I forgot the window in the dressing room; of course, it will be added later.

Okay, I will do that. Here, I can only use standard furniture sizes.
As far as we’re concerned, the house could be smaller; we just started drawing it. That tricky straight staircase does take its toll. But you’re right, basically, we could manage with less.
However, I must say, with every floor plan we sketched on paper, the house got a little bigger. (Yes, 11Ant, we actually drew a lot with pencil.)
Later, I will furnish the rooms and upload the 2D images again so I can get a better overall impression.

Oh dear, now I understand. In my opinion, the house is positioned the wrong way around. You have a west-facing garden. What’s the point of facing the house south? To look at the neighbor’s garage wall? If the plot is that narrow, the entire living room front should face west. Since you can’t simply rotate the house, you should adjust the floor plan accordingly.

I also get the impression that the right side looks uninspired at first glance...
Have you checked out the usual options?
