Hello, I would like to hear your opinions. What do you think? Are there any suggestions for improvement? The west side faces open fields, so we wanted the living room to be oriented that way.
Development Plan / Restrictions
Plot size: 900 sqm (9,688 sq ft)
Flat land
Floor area ratio 0.4
Building line and boundary: 3 meters (10 feet)
Number of parking spaces: 2
Number of floors: 1
Roof style: gable roof and flat roof
Architectural style: modern
Orientation: west
Client Requirements
Small office, only for emergencies
3 people aged 38, 38, and 2
No overnight guests
Large kitchen with dining area, separate living room, covered terrace
House Design
- Do-it-yourself
Why is the design as it is now?
We considered all the desired rooms.
Access from terrace directly to kitchen and bathroom.
The main house will have a gable roof to allow attic space for storing boxes. The pull-down staircase can be installed in the long hallway. The part with the covered terrace will have a flat roof. However, we are not sure if having two types of roof will be expensive.
We also like a modern gable roof with trapezoidal metal roofing. This should be quite affordable… does anyone have experience with that?
I attached a picture of various houses that inspired us.
Does anyone have a rough idea of the cost? We are still very early in the process and many builders are reluctant to provide quotes due to uncertain material prices.
Construction is planned for 2023.

The budget is a maximum of 300,000 € (euros). If needed, we can contribute labor for wall work (filling, priming, plastering, painting). Is this including additional building costs or excluding them?
I don’t see a flat roof extension being included in either case. I would rather consider a separate terrace roof made of glass.
I don’t see a very large footprint — I see an attic conversion! That still offers a good price-performance ratio!
Have a look at Scanwood and Danwood and their houses.

On the upper floor, should the children's room, a kids' bathroom, and a storage room be created?

The children remain permanently at 90 cm (35 inches) in height and never need a proper wardrobe or even a bed.
Oh man, all the things you can read (or have to)… But did you notice that the post I linked also shows standard single beds? Neither my 2-year-old nor my 6-year-old sleeps in a baby cot. The older one has a regular wardrobe. The little one has one too, in terms of space requirements.
What the teenagers no longer have are doll strollers, dollhouses, play kitchens, LEGO bins, and so on. So that frees up a lot of space that can be used differently. The floor is then only needed for laundry storage.
Still, you can comfortably spend your childhood in 11/12 square meters (118/129 square feet) without feeling like a sardine. A bit of creativity in choosing furniture is required. Of course, if you can and want to provide more space for your child, you can certainly do that.

Upstairs, should there be a children's room, a kids’ bathroom, and a storage closet? Here, I would boldly suggest removing the kitchen walls and the wall of the dining room to create a more open and spacious feel. Either put a wall up in the hallway leading to the stairs or leave it open; doors in the hallway or bathroom door help define and “protect” the front area, creating a small foyer. Swap the dressing room and the bedroom.
To make things even more complex—sorry—consider orienting the house along the property’s southern boundary line. Place the entrance nicely on the north side, and have the full width facing south…
