Hello everyone,
We have a plot of land (see site plan) and have started planning our dream house without an architect. Before we move forward in more detail, it would be great to receive opinions, ideas, and perspectives.
On the floor plan, you can see an electrical transformer to the east. It is quite tall and does not provide a pleasant view. Therefore, the utility room is planned here, separated from the house with access to the "breakfast terrace."
We are planning with the future in mind. This means we want all the essential living spaces on one level. Upstairs is for the children and grandchildren when they visit, as well as hobby rooms, an office, etc. The area above the living room is open. Downstairs, it is important for us to have separate areas. The kitchen/dining and living rooms should not be an open, connected space. We often have guests while others want to watch a movie in peace.
We welcome any extraordinary ideas. The house should be unique. But we also appreciate advice on realistic feasibility.
The house will be built as a timber frame house.
The building plan allows for few restrictions. The building envelope is shown on the drawing.
Thank you and best regards,
Andreas

Hi, great. Is there a way to see the floor plan? Regards. Just enter these exact words into Google, and you’ll find their site, which has lots of ideas, floor plans, and more.

Unfortunately, 99% of them are boring, standard designs with no creativity, the same for the last 20 years. Currently, the house builder’s planner is drawing up the plans, let’s see what they can do.

Currently, the planner from the house building company is drawing up the plans — let’s see what they come up with.Sorry, but I don’t quite follow you. I’m not familiar with this company, but their portfolio shows really stylish houses (in my humble opinion), such as “Unterreichenbach.” For me, that at least indicates the company understands modern taste and can apparently deliver on it.
There are probably different opinions about what exactly “spark” and “run-of-the-mill” mean, and I don’t know how you justify your “20 years” statement. You have also received some good advice here in the forum.
I would genuinely be interested in what “spark” means to you in general, or what you consider run-of-the-mill.
