Hello everyone,
Now on my second attempt, I believe I’m in the right section of the forum and have also found the questionnaire. I would like to ask for your opinion on my current planning. The overall concept is mostly set, but maybe some details could still be optimized.
Development Plan / Restrictions
Size: 830 m2 (8940 sq ft)
Slope: minimal
Number of parking spaces: 2
Number of floors allowed: unrestricted
Roof style: unrestricted
Design style: unrestricted
Allowed roof colors: everything except violet
Planting requirements: 2 small trees
Client Requirements
Style: modern and traditional combined, gabled roof
Basement, floors: 2 full floors
Number of occupants, age: 2 people in their late 20s (children planned within the next few years)
Office: family use or home office: home office
Annual overnight guests: max. 1
Open or closed architecture: partially open
Conservative or modern construction: a certain mix
Open kitchen, kitchen island: open
Number of dining seats: 6
Fireplace: yes, pellet stove
Balcony, roof terrace: terrace is sufficient, but it should be covered
Garage or carport: garage with usable space
Utility garden, greenhouse: not planned within the house design
House Design
Designed by:
- Architect
What do you especially like? Why? Large children’s rooms, wellness area in the basement, open kitchen, extra bathroom in the master bedroom
What do you dislike? Why? Nothing comes to mind currently
Estimated price according to architect/planner: /
Personal price limit for house including furnishings: 550,000€
Preferred heating system: pellet stove
Home automation desired: KNX
(but programming will be done by ourselves and should not be overused everywhere)
If you had to give up, which features/expansions
- Can you give up: extra space in the bedroom (which we already have)
- Cannot give up: 2 bathrooms, space for children
Why does the design look like it does now? e.g.
Standard design from the planner? No
Were specific wishes implemented by the architect? Yes
What do you think makes it particularly good or bad? Modern architectural style with traditional/conservative elements.
Attached is the current plan.
Edit: For light reasons, the terrace on the south side will be only 3 m (10 ft) wide instead of 3.5 m (11.5 ft).
Please share your thoughts.
Best regards,

My architect just replied that a glass element on the upper landing wouldn’t look good.What exactly do you/he mean by that? I would really recommend removing the partition wall between the entrance area and the hallway, opening up the staircase to make it airy, and installing a properly sized window in the stairwell. The garage is only on the ground floor, and even there it won’t block much light. The light will still come in, right?Here’s a comparison: Image 1 shows approximately how it will look in your house, Image 2 shows how it could look.

I would really recommend removing the partition wall between the entrance area and the hallway, making the staircase open and airy, and installing a reasonably sized window in the stairwell. The garage is only on the ground floor, and even there it won’t block much light. The light will still come in, right?
Here’s a comparison: Image 1 shows approximately how it will look in your case, Image 2 shows how it could look.
[ATTACH alt="treppe.jpg"]53640[/ATTACH][ATTACH alt="podesttreppen-mobil.jpg"]53639[/ATTACH] For me, it will probably be a mix of both, since I also have a landing like in Image 2, but a wall like in Image 1.
I am planning to include a wide window, not too low, starting from the landing (it doesn’t have to be right at floor level). If it looks better visually, it could also be only at eye level. But that would need to be seen.
Well, my pictures were more aimed at the comparison: staircase separated by a wall WITHOUT a window versus open staircase (no wall) WITH a window. In one case, you walk into a dark hole; in the other, into a bright, inviting stairwell. But if you want to integrate a window anyway, that’s good 🙂 Is the view really that bad or the visibility so extreme that it should be small, shallow, and possibly frosted glass?

But if you want to include a window anyway, that’s fine 🙂 Is the view really that bad or is the visibility so extreme that the window should be small, flat, and possibly frosted? The view is good – my architect just thinks it looks awkward. I have a different opinion and wanted to hear your thoughts on which windows you would incorporate in relation to the current staircase.

That’s good. What does the architect do for a living? The answer is already in the question itself, but yes – no further comment 😀
