Hello,
I am sharing the floor plan as we have developed it. Perhaps there are some suggestions?
The dimensions are interior room sizes, with a wall thickness of 10 cm (4 inches) assumed. Depending on the actual wall thickness, adjustments will be necessary.
Plot size: 1200 sqm (12,917 sq ft)
Slope: no
Floor area ratio / plot ratio: unknown, but not important
Building permit / planning permission, building line and boundary: there is no development plan; the new house will stand where our current house is (only the distance to the neighbor must be increased to 3 m (10 feet)), which according to the responsible building authority is no problem
Edge development: no
Number of parking spaces: garages already exist and will remain
Number of floors: bungalow, single story
Roof type: gable or hip roof
Style?
Orientation: roof facing east-west
Other constraints: the plot is only about 16 m (52 feet) wide, so the house must not be wider than about 10 m (33 feet) in this direction
Homeowners’ requirements
Style, roof type, building type: bungalow, preferably gable roof
Basement, floors: no basement, only 1 floor, storage room in the attic
Number of occupants, age: 2 persons, 55 and 58
Space needs on the ground floor: about 100 sqm (1,076 sq ft)
Office: family use or home office: no
Overnight guests per year: 2 grandchildren occasionally, father occasionally
Open or closed layout?
Conservative or modern construction: rather conservative
Open kitchen, cooking island: open kitchen
Number of dining places: 4
Fireplace: yes, definitely
Music/sound system wall: no
Balcony, roof terrace: no
Garage, carport: already existing
Utility garden, greenhouse: garden already established
House design
Designed by:
- Do-It-Yourself, created based on various templates
What do you like most? Why?: large window front on the south side with direct access to the garden
What do you not like? Why?
- Corner in the hallway between utility room and bedroom, but the hallway should remain large to avoid bumping into each other and to have enough space for motorbike gear,
- I would prefer the fireplace positioned more in the corner between kitchen and living area, but that conflicts with neighbor distance regulations and emissions protection
Price estimate according to architect/planner: initial offers are around €190,000 for about 110 sqm (1,184 sq ft), but changes are still needed
Personal price limit for the house, including fittings: should not exceed €200,000 plus additional construction costs; equipment is already taken care of
Preferred heating system: gas condensing boiler, since gas supply is already connected
If you had to give up anything, which details/expansions
- Could you give up: nothing
- Cannot give up: underfloor heating, large window front, fireplace
Why did the design turn out as it is?
All wishes were implemented as far as possible
What is the most important/basic question about the floor plan in 130 characters?
Is there anything that doesn’t work at all? Any room for improvement? What would you do differently? Where could it be optimized?

What do you mean by detailed plans? I mean all the fine details. Connections of exits to the terrace, how the shelf on the flush toilet tank transitions into the window sill, where the awning will be fastened. Anything that isn’t clearly specified gets done using the "just-keep-it-as-it-is" approach. Then the tiles end up 3cm (1.2 inches) above or below the door frame—simply because each tradesperson does what they think is right, and no one sees themselves as the “guardian of the others.” According to standards, it’s not a defect, but it looks sloppy.

Yes,
did you plan 11cm (4.3 inches) solid interior walls made of sand-lime brick or the thicker ones made of Liaplan? Neither, 11cm (4.3 inches) of Liaplan, since we don’t have any load-bearing interior walls.

According to standards, not a defect, but it certainly looks off-putting.That doesn’t happen with the general contractor, experienced team, all trades communicate with each other, luckily in German,
you can join the conversation since you are planned to be constantly nearby

Well, all the fine details. Connections from door exits to the terrace, how the shelf on top of the flush tank transitions into the window sill, where the awning is drilled in. Anything that isn’t clearly specified gets done the “just how it always is” way. And then the tiles end 3 cm (1 inch) above or below the door frame—simply because every craftsman does what they think is right, and no one sees themselves as a "guardian of their brother's work." According to standards, not a defect, but it looks unprofessional.Hmm, the terrace isn’t planned yet; we’ll build it ourselves later. There won’t be an awning. The windows will have standard window sills, also done by us, because we still have some great granite ones (if we can remove them intact from the old house).
But there will still be a construction execution plan, said the builder. I think that’s when these kinds of things will be clarified. When I look at finished houses by this builder, the “just how it always is” method seems to work very well.

The only thing I still noticed is that the drains are not planned directly in the corners beneath the toilets; this still needs to be discussed.
