blubbernase18 Jul 2021 18:13hi, we have been going back and forth with the work and wanted to get your opinion

Client Requirements
Style, roof type, building type: gable roof
Basement, stories: partial unheated basement, ground floor, upper floor
Number of occupants, ages: 34 m, 33 f, 3 m, 4 f + 1 planned
Space needs on the ground floor: 1 office, 1 office/guest room, kitchen with dining area, living room, bathroom with shower, entry hall
Space needs on the upper floor: 1 bedroom, 3 children's rooms, 1 full bathroom, 1 toilet with washer/dryer

House Design
Ground floor: floor area 107.5 m² (1156 ft²) (including stairs)
Upper floor: floor area 101.2 m² (1090 ft²) (including stairs)
Basement: approx. 70 m² (753 ft²)
Designer: designed by ourselves using Sweet Home 3D
Basically, we based the exterior dimensions on the Whiteline promotional house "Kiefernallee" from Gussek Haus and extended it about 50 cm (20 inches) longer on the left side of the gable. We have been working with Gussek Haus for a while. Initially, we had a floor plan with 4 gables and a longer house, but we discarded it due to complexity. The upper-floor layout is still based on that promotional house, but the ground floor has changed quite a bit.
What do you particularly like? When entering the house, you’re not immediately in the living room.
Price estimate according to the architect/planner: base house approx. 450,000 € (including move-in ready) + 60,000 €
Personal price limit for the house including basement: 550,000 € + additional costs and fittings
Preferred heating system: air-to-water heat pump with indoor unit
If you had to give up something, which details/extensions?
- You could give up: basically nothing 😀
- You could not give up: a few extra square meters here and there
Why did the design turn out this way?
For example: it fits well on the plot, although the terrace is quite small.
What is the most important/fundamental question about the floor plan in 130 characters?
Will the long hallway annoy us despite being reasonably wide?

hanghaus200019 Jul 2021 08:29The property looks familiar to me. Could you please link your relevant post?
Phew,….
46 sqm (500 sq ft) hallway with stairs on the ground floor/first floor + 8 sqm (85 sq ft) entrance area? 😳
(or are the 12 sqm (130 sq ft) stairs included? Then it would be 42 sqm (450 sq ft) including living space) The rest is like in a (poorly laid out) 150 sqm (1,615 sq ft) house.
Apart from being expensive, due to what feels like 48 corners, I don’t see any “highlights.”
(270 sqm (2,900 sq ft) vs. 550k€ max)
First, this needs to be “cleaned up,” or the goal needs to be clearly defined.

I also find the house a bit too "confusing" with many corners and edges. A similar floor plan has already been discussed here...
Personally, I find it too closed off. The hallway to the living areas is too long.
The pantry, with a depth of just under 60cm (24 inches), is the size of a tall kitchen cabinet – its usability is questionable.
Are the bathrooms on the upper floor disqualified because of the sloping ceiling?
