corby_81Hello everyone,
we are planning to build a semi-detached house with 2.5 stories plus a basement. We have received a first draft from the general contractor and would like to discuss it with you.
The floors are divided as follows:
Basement = utility cellar
Ground floor = living/dining + kitchen + WC + storage
Upper floor = 2 large children's rooms + family bathroom
Attic = bedroom + office + WC/bathroom
Development plan/restrictions
Plot size: 420 sqm (4521 sq ft)
Slope: no
Site coverage ratio: 0.4
Floor area ratio: not specified
Parking spaces: carport + 1 parking space
Number of floors: 2.5
Roof type: gable roof, 35 degrees
Style: semi-detached house
Orientation: southeast
Maximum heights/limits: ridge height = 6.5 m (21 ft 4 in), overall height = 10 m (32 ft 10 in), max width = 9 m (29 ft 6 in). Due to the overall height limit and the 35-degree roof pitch, the max depth = 10 m (32 ft 10 in).
Homeowners’ requirements
Style, roof type, building type
Utility basement, 2.5 stories
Number of occupants: 2 adults + 2 children (5 and 7 years old)
Guests per year: negligible
Large kitchen, open but can be closed off with sliding doors; kitchen island for prep work (cooktop not planned on island for now)
Number of dining seats: 6
Fireplace: ethanol fireplace integrated into the living room wall
Carport
Separate floor for the children with large bedrooms
Sauna in the attic
Dormer on the north side
Ceiling height on ground and upper floors: 2.50 m (8 ft 2 in) each
Office/guest room in the attic
House design
Design by: general contractor (redrawn by me in Sweet Home 3D with furniture added)
What do we like most and why?: large living room with big windows, spacious kitchen, large children’s rooms
Preferred heating system: air-source heat pump
What is the main/basic question about the floor plan in 130 characters?
- Living room: are the windows chosen too large?
- Children’s rooms: how do you find the layout, especially child 2’s room?
- Family bathroom: is the passage to the toilet and shower too narrow?
- Office: 2 m (6 ft 7 in) depth is reached quickly after the entrance; the dormer exists but I’m unsure how the room will feel. What do you think?

The question of budget comes to mind.The price is within the planned range; this should only be about the floor plan.gutentag schrieb:
Is the other half already built? If so, what does it look like?No, it’s not built yet. The house dimensions will be the same, but the width might differ. The floor plan is not known yet.I hope you are building the entire semi-detached house with the same general contractor, not just one half. Sometimes I feel the Goalkeeper thread shouldn’t just be pinned here in the forum, but somewhere on the internet in general (or better yet, included in all school textbooks)...
In that case, if a professional floor plan is available, I would have preferred to see the original rather than a sketch by an amateur. Important details are often lost with this kind of “telephone game.”
