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?

How much more expensive would it have been?We didn’t even ask about the option with only studio roof trusses because we were already over our budget and wanted to avoid any unnecessary costs, considering it not that important. We were interested in the option with extra headroom in the open-plan space and gallery, which would have cost about 15,000 euros more.motorradsilke schrieb:
We were interested in the option with open space above in the living room and gallery; it would have cost about 15,000 euros more. Just to inform you: The open ceiling is quite expensive because more insulation is installed there compared to having a storage level under the roof. Of course, it depends on the square meters, but for us, it was already 5,000€ for an area of about 25sqm (270 sq ft).

Yes, for your information: An exposed ceiling is quite expensive because it requires more insulation than if there were a storage level under the roof. Of course, it depends on the square meters involved, but for us, it was already €5000 over an area of about 25sqm (270 sq ft). However, insulation is probably not the biggest cost factor. With a roof pitch of 22 degrees and a house width of 9m (30 ft), you have 0.7sqm (7.5 sq ft) more per meter. The more expensive part is the more complex roof structure—possibly requiring load-bearing walls, etc.

For us, the structure remained the same. I just wanted to point out that the $15,000 for the gallery and related work includes far more than just the roof structure itself.

No, it will just be a storage room. We had to save somewhere. Even there, I wouldn’t want to have to crawl like a gymnast. It’s not just a black-and-white “either/or” decision between all the same or all different. On both sides of the hatch, I would want to have easy access to the next two compartments—I’m bent over enough as it is, so it doesn’t also have to be on all fours when you need to maneuver something.
