Hello 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?

Can you explain more precisely what you mean by "careless"? What changes do you recommend? Yvonne has already addressed that.
Change: The carport is dropped, only parking spaces in front of the house. Instead of the carport, a small wooden shed will be added.
Almost nothing remains of the original floor plan – if I feel like it, I might make a sketch this evening.

The maximum width is specified in the development plan / planning permission. It says 9m (30 feet)? What about the ancillary structures? Is the carport allowed up to the street?

Almost nothing of the original floor plan remains – if I’m in the mood, I’ll sketch something later tonight.
Does it say 9m (30 feet)? That would be great 🙂.
Yes, the maximum width of 9m (30 feet) is specified in the development plan (building permit / planning permission).

However, I’m missing some height dimensions. Specifically: is there a knee wall? Also, how wide can the dormer be, and is it allowed on both sides? Wall thicknesses are also unknown.
Usually, the dormer on one side can cover a maximum of one-third of the roof surface.
Use as little as possible – it is always better to save because it will become more expensive later on.
This should be sufficient for you:
And did you know that now walls with 47 cm (19 inches) exterior thickness are being planned?! 😎
