Attached Are
- Plot plan with placement idea
- Ground floor and upper floor plans as in catalog
- Ground floor and upper floor plans with my small modification ideas
- Ground floor: smaller WC (no shower needed there)
- Ground floor: front door with side glass panel
- Ground floor: utility room approx. 1 m² (11 ft²) larger
- Ground floor: access to utility room not through kitchen (it is the mudroom; I don’t want to pass through the kitchen)
- Ground floor: door between hall and kitchen
- Ground floor: challenge – how to get a door between the stairs and living room
- Upper floor: bathroom modified, larger walk-in shower by “building over” the staircase opening
- Upper floor: bathroom door shifted
- Upper floor: rearranged remaining bathroom elements
- Upper floor: wall between the lower rooms shifted “to the left,” making room 2 about 1.2 m² (13 ft²) bigger; could be better as a children’s room or alternatively my office, with the left room used as storage or possibly the office
Oh, and the roof ridge runs left to right → perfect south side for solar panels
What do you think?

At Danwood, the foundation slab is an additional cost, as they build starting from the top edge of the foundation slab.Yes, I'm aware of that. It has already been estimated at around 22,000 EUR. Of course, I will also request separate quotes for that.Andre77 schrieb:
I only have about 100 m2 (1,076 sq ft). Take a look at the floor plan of the Alto S10 D from Heinz von Heiden. I made some slight changes to the ground floor to create more storage space. By the way, this change didn’t cost anything. In the bathroom, I specified a shower measuring 90 x 120 cm (35 x 47 inches) with a 2 cm (0.8 inch) shower tray. The original length was 10.20 m (33.5 ft), which I reduced to 9.7 m (31.8 ft). The eaves overhang on the side is just under 1 m (3.3 ft), which is close to what you’re considering.
Maybe this is a little inspiration for your planning.Thanks, I hadn’t considered that manufacturer before because I thought they only operated in the North. I’ve now taken a look. The Alto S10 D is no longer available. At first glance, I like the Alto 410 there. I’ll have to take a closer look.I also requested information about the Town & Country Raumwunder 100. The “South” variant is roughly what I want, but it would still need some adjustments.
In terms of the floor plan, I like the Bien-Zenker Evolution 122 V2 and V3. I have a meeting about that on Monday.

Wandervogel8513 May 2021 00:20I can’t do anything about the name.
The layout is similar to the Point 109.1 model from Danwood.
The roughly 100m² (1,076 sq ft) provide a bit of extra space, regardless of how it’s used later.
Houses around 85m² (915 sq ft) would be the perfect size for me right now. But that leaves no real flexibility if life changes. Storage space also becomes tight quickly. I don’t have many things, but over time some items naturally accumulate—from Christmas decorations to sports equipment to tools, and so on.

Space-efficient homes are characterized by their ability to comfortably accommodate four people within a small area. For a single occupant, for example, you could forgo one room (such as a child's bedroom) and instead plan for more spaciousness and openness. Just because one or four people need storage space for various items doesn’t mean that half of the house has to be used for storage. It’s also important to consider potential future needs. What if you design as many rooms as possible upstairs, but next month you become unable to use the stairs? Didn’t you mention that you actually don’t want children? I would suggest first designing a house for yourself (if that’s the case). A home suited for one person can also accommodate two. If the situation changes significantly, you can always adjust your plans together.
My reading recommendation regarding closely following the related topic is: https://www.hausbau-forum.de/threads/t-c-raumwunder-100-mit-wenig-Änderungen.39200/ – the same "space saver" is being discussed here, even with a similar modification request.
