House Design
Who designed the plan: prefabricated house company
- planner from a construction company
- architect
- do-it-yourself modified according to our wishes
What do you particularly like? Why? Large enclosed room next to the cloakroom to store many items (shoes, jackets, bicycle gear, etc.), orientation of living/dining area toward the garden and cardinal directions, shower bathroom next to the pool, proximity of bedroom to children’s rooms (which argues against switching dressing room/bedroom)
What do you not like? Why? Upper floor: dressing room too large, hallway/staircase too narrow?
Estimated price according to architect/planner: 450,000
Personal price limit for the house, including equipment: 500,000
Preferred heating technology: air-to-air
If you had to give up on which details / expansions
- could you give up on: large utility room, large dressing room, a smaller one would suffice
- could you not give up on: room next to cloakroom
Why is the design as it is now? For example:
Own wishes / ideas
What makes it particularly good or bad in your opinion? We like the ground floor because of the ample storage space; the utility room is accessible from the carport through a floor-to-ceiling window, convenient for groceries.
What is the most important / basic question about the floor plan summarized in 130 characters?
We are not fully satisfied with the upper floor but cannot think of improvements. Separate toilet upstairs? A kids’ bathroom upstairs is possible, but three bathrooms seem too many. The shower bathroom downstairs is very practical due to proximity to the pool and as a mud room for the children. The idea behind the separate toilet is to ease morning congestion when someone is using the toilet.

Hi,
basically, I think the floor plan is workable. There are some issues that I find difficult or unclear.
For example, a technical room accessed through the ground floor bathroom. Utility room through the carport? Do you mean the pantry? Then you would need a proper external door there, and so on.
But before I address everything individually, I would like to ask for three things:
- North arrow (or did I miss it?)
- properly dimensioned floor plan of the upper floor
- site plan or plan of the entire property

I would also like to see the site plan and the north arrow.
In addition, I am confused by:
Is this the parents’ house? I have concerns that shared use should not be planned as a permanent arrangement.
Furthermore, I find the narrow wall for the living room sofa and three!!! doors in the guest bathroom confusing.
