Hello everyone,
Since the first draft was heavily criticized here, I am trying again with a second draft featuring a slightly different layout but otherwise the same requirements. The plan is still to live in the house for about 15 to 20 years and then sell it.
So, let's go!
Development Plan / Restrictions
Plot size: 620 m² (6672 sq ft)
Site occupancy index: 0.4
Floor area ratio: 0.8
Building envelope, building line, and boundary: 12 m x 14 m (39 ft x 46 ft)
Number of parking spaces: 1 + 1 garage
Number of stories: 2
Roof type: pitched roofs
Orientation: north
Additional requirements: drainage ditch in front of the building envelope on the south side, 3 m (10 ft) wide, with a planned crossing 4 m (13 ft) wide
Client Requirements
Style, roof form, building type: urban villa
Basement, number of floors: no basement, 2 full floors
Number of occupants, ages: 4 people, ages 40, 41, 14, 14
Annual overnight guests: none
Conservative or modern construction: modern
Open kitchen, kitchen island: kitchen island, semi-open with sliding door to the dining area
Number of dining seats: 8
Fireplace: yes, as a divider between living and dining areas
Music/sound system wall: no
Balcony, roof terrace: yes
Garage, carport: yes
Vegetable garden, greenhouse: no
Additional wishes / special features / daily routine, including reasons why some features are preferred or avoided
House Design
Who designed the plan:
- Do-it-Yourself
What do you like especially? Why?
Large living area and master bedroom with walk-in closet and bathroom
Spacious kitchen
What don’t you like? Why?
Price estimate according to architect/planner:
No estimate yet as they have not been contacted so far
Personal budget limit for the house, including equipment:
No idea yet
Preferred heating technology:
No preference, but if the setup with subsidies etc. works out, a geothermal heat pump could be used again. Otherwise, it should be good value for money.

Ground floor better
2 dining areas
3 seating places
I find the children's rooms too small for that
The master bathroom as well
You have a larger master sleeping area than space for 2 children to sleep, do homework, pursue hobbies, and meet friends.
Give the children's rooms a sleeping loft
I would remove a seating area and possibly move one to the upper floor
No one relaxes in front of the fireplace when the TV is running next door

@idasb79 Have you mentioned anything about your budget anywhere? Looking at the exterior of your house, you will probably end up spending over 600,000 just for the house...
It’s possible that money isn’t an issue for you... In that case, that’s fine. Otherwise, you might want to plan more with your budget in mind.

No one relaxes in front of the fireplace when the TV is on right next to itThe children’s rooms are larger than 15 sq meters (160 sq ft), which I don’t consider too small. Plus there is a kids’ bathroom with a bathtub. As I said, I personally would have removed one of the two bathtubs upstairs. But maybe they enjoy bathing.

Sparfuchs7729 Sep 2020 07:46We also have a children’s room in the northwest. The master bedroom and two children’s rooms are on the south side.
I agree. Our master bedroom is only 15.5sqm (167 sq ft) and feels comfortably sized. I consider a children’s room that size to be large.
I like the idea of having two bathtubs. I wouldn’t want my daughter to have to walk through our bedroom every time she wants to take a bath.
Either one main bathroom for everyone or a bathtub in each bathroom—I think that’s only fair.
