Hello everyone,
We are planning to build a single-family home in the near future. We have already purchased a plot of land and are now considering the layout and appearance. I have put our initial ideas into a floor plan and would appreciate your feedback, suggestions, and critiques.
Here is the information from the questionnaire:
Development plan/restrictions
Plot size: 850 sqm (9,151 sq ft)
Slope: no
Floor area ratio: 0.3
Floor space index: 0.6
Building envelope, building line and boundary: 3 m (10 ft) from the street, 3 m (10 ft) from the neighbor, maximum 18 m (59 ft) from the street
Edge development: allowed for garages
Number of parking spaces: 2
Number of floors: 2
Roof style: gable roof
Architectural style: modern
Orientation: north - entrance, south - living/dining area
Maximum heights/limits: for houses with roofs between 21-45 degrees, 10 m (33 ft)
Other requirements: -
Owners’ requirements
Style, roof type, building type: gable roof
Basement, floors: basement + 2 floors
Number of occupants, age: 31, 31, 3, 0
Room requirements on ground floor and upper floor: a study on the ground floor, otherwise 2 children’s rooms, a master bedroom with dressing room, 2 bathrooms, and the living/dining area.
Office: home office for two people
Guest bedrooms per year: few
Open or closed architecture: open
Traditional or modern design: modern
Open kitchen, kitchen island: open kitchen
Number of dining seats: 6
Fireplace: no for now, but a chimney should be included in advance
Music/sound wall: -
Balcony, roof terrace: no
Garage, carport: garage
Utility garden, greenhouse: -
Additional wishes/special features/daily routine, including reasons for preferences: double garage built on the boundary. In the floor plan, it is shown with a basement but this is not mandatory.
House design
Who created the plan: DIY
What do you like most? Why?: all rooms are accommodated within the footprint, orientation with garden to the south, the two projections on the ground floor
What do you not like? Why? Children’s rooms are a bit small.
Price estimate per architect/planner: -
Personal price limit for house including equipment: -
Preferred heating technology: ground source heat pump (brine-water heat pump)
If you had to do without, which details/extensions could you skip
- can be omitted: basement under double garage
- cannot be omitted: basement
Why did the design turn out as it did?
Designed and drawn by ourselves. Originally based on a floor plan from a house catalog but heavily modified. Walls were aligned vertically as much as possible, as well as bathrooms. Furniture was added to verify that everything fits; otherwise, the ground and upper floors have only as many square meters as necessary.
What is the key/fundamental question about the floor plan in 130 characters?
What do you think of the room sizes? Have we missed any furnishings? Does enough natural light enter the house? Is the front door width with adjacent window sufficient? Is there enough storage space in the living/dining area?

Are the gray lines the contour lines? Then the terrain slopes more toward the east? I don't think they run that parallel; I rather suspect they mark the parcel boundaries of the fields before the land consolidation.

03C0MalDaumen6 Nov 2021 21:16I like the idea of the partially integrated garage, thanks @RomeoZwo. The budgerigar splitting, on the other hand, is not really my thing—would anyone do that with elephants? 😉
I couldn't find a floor plan with the garage on the north side where the kitchen, dining room, and living room form an L-shape and the kitchen is on the east side. Since we would like that, I'm trying a floor plan with the garage in the northwest, facing the street.
The gray lines indicate former plot boundaries. The slope runs from north to south.
I’ll get back to you once the new floor plans are ready.

By the way, the individual 11ant always had single garages, even when owning three cars 🙂https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

A garage usually needs to be 5 m (16 feet) from the street. A carport might even be allowed right up to the street, depending on the building permit / planning permission requirements.
