Alright, here it goes.
I’m a little bit nervous about the reactions
(the tiny house idea is a joke, there won’t be one)
Development Plan / Restrictions
Plot size: 589 sqm (6,340 sq ft)
Slope: -
Floor area ratio (FAR): 0.4
Building coverage ratio: -
Building line, boundary and setbacks: 3 m (10 ft) distance from neighbors, no further restrictions
Edge development: -
Number of parking spaces: -
Number of floors: 2
Roof shape: -
Architectural style: -
Orientation: -
Maximum height / limits: 10 m (33 ft)
Owners’ Requirements
Style, roof shape, building type: Wood house with combined block wall, gable facing east/west, so roof on the shorter 8 m (26 ft) side (8 x 8.5 m (26 x 28 ft))
Basement, floors: No basement. One and a half stories
Number of occupants, ages: 2 people, aged 35 and 36
Space needs on ground floor and upper floor: Ground floor could be a bit larger than planned but is okay as is; upper floor is good
Office: Family use or home office? Partly home office
Guest stays per year: About 10, mostly several weeks at a time
Open or closed architecture: Open
Conservative or modern construction method: Wood? Not sure what’s meant
Open kitchen, kitchen island: Open kitchen yes, island no
Number of dining seats: 2 seats, table is foldable to 4
Fireplace: No
Music / stereo wall: Small speakers
Balcony, roof terrace: No
Garage, carport: Maybe a carport later, not initially
Productive garden, greenhouse: Productive garden yes, greenhouse later
Additional wishes / special features / daily routine, including reasons for choices or exclusions:
One occupant has a chronic illness and is unable to work, spending a lot of time at home; the other works partly from home.
The lower room has a bed for guests and is also used as a craft room / private office.
Both have their own separate rooms; not a couple but shared housing.
House Design
Planner: Designed by me, privately, without prior experience
- Do-it-yourself: Yes.
What do you like most? Why? Bed placed under the sloping ceiling with a roof window; another roof window in the bathroom upstairs.
Laundry room and bathroom on east/north side, living areas face southwest or southeast.
Cozy living room, do not want it too large.
Lower room is for guests to have their own space, potentially usable as a bedroom in case of injury or disability.
What do you dislike? Why? Bathroom and kitchen planning not completed yet.
Initially, we wanted the laundry room next to the kitchen, but it works like this as well.
Cost estimate from architect/planner: 260,000
Personal budget limit for house including fittings: Some flexibility
Preferred heating system: Currently planned is an air-to-water heat pump, still gathering information
If you had to give up on some details or expansions:
- Can you live without: Already quite compact
- Can you not live without:
Why is the design the way it is? Example:
First own attempt, please be kind.
It’s not yet perfect, first rough floor plan.
Windows, bathroom and kitchen furniture arrangements are not finalized.
Stair size is estimated; leaning towards a half-landing stair.
What is the most important/basic question about the floor plan in 130 characters?
Are there better solutions based on orientation?
Any general issues or mistakes I might have overlooked?

Yes, you may.
Scanhaus Marlow as an example. However, many extras are possible there, which means additional costs.
But building with solid construction is generally cheaper, so I’ll suggest the solid house option.
100 sq m (1,076 sq ft) starting at 145,000... with quite a few extras plus a staircase leading up to the finished guest area, we end up at 200,000.

I was quite surprised by this as well, because to me a bungalow was always just a slightly more comfortable garage, but the argument does make sense to me as a non-expert. Bungalow as a slightly more comfortable garage: alright, proof of being a non-expert convincingly provided :-)

Grillhendl9 Nov 2020 23:26As a floor plan suggestion for a 1.5-story house, I would also like to mention the “Hans” house from Akost. It has 97 m² (1,043 sq ft).
Basically, I also see a bungalow as the best option here, but even though evelinoz’s example is really cool, it would probably exceed the budget. Corners, projections, recesses – all of that adds extra cost. I would consider a bungalow with a private area (the two bedrooms and bathroom) and a public area the best solution here. A simple rectangular shape, and possibly the option to build a small guest room under the roof with the rest used as storage for items not needed frequently.
This suggestion has come up here before, but I don’t remember who it was (haydee? ypg?)

And since the construction site is supposed to be in Brandenburg, where building costs are still reasonable, and the affordable Lower Saxony with its construction companies is nearby, you can manage it well with 200,000 just for the house.
