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

A 5 m (16 ft) carport would still be acceptable, but a 5 m (16 ft) garage is not feasible unless you drive two Twizzy vehicles.

No, that was nonsense.
I also like the idea from @Würfel*, and you could work with that now, right? I find it clearer and smoother this way.
I’ll send you the address in code or through a confidential messenger in time.

It’s good and offers many suggestions, yes. It’s also bigger, which makes it more expensive and easier.....

So, it’s me again and good morning to everyone here,

after investing quite some time in planning and incorporating many of the great ideas shared here, please find attached the current design.

What will still change:
- the two walls in the bedroom will be removed, creating one large room without a separate dressing area.
- a door will be added from the bathroom to the utility room.
- the wall between the kitchen and bedroom (currently still a dressing room) will be raised by 40cm (16 inches) to the same height as the wall between the dining and living rooms.

If you have any more ideas, please feel free to share. Comments are also welcome.

Good luck, Sciliar

I am missing windows.

Draw the desired or existing furniture to scale. Don’t forget to leave enough clearance space around tables and other pieces for movement. This way, you will notice where things don’t fit for you.

I have done that.
The measurements are the same as in the plan.

If this is acceptable, it’s fine. I still find that there are missing windows in the living area and the bedroom.
