Hello everyone,

We are in the final stages with the architect, and day by day I’m becoming more uncertain whether the floor plan is practical for everyday living or complete nonsense.

Development Plan/Restrictions
Plot size: 635m² (7,000 sq ft)
Slope: No
Floor area ratio: No (§34 based on neighboring buildings)
Building window, building line, and boundary: Complied with in the floor plan. 3m (10 ft) to the neighbor and 7m (23 ft) to the street.
Number of parking spaces: 2
Number of floors: 1.5 with 75cm (30 inches) knee wall. 4m (13 ft) eaves height is the maximum here.
Roof type: Gable roof

Owner Requirements
Style, roof shape, building type: As modern as possible
Basement, floors: No basement
Number and age of occupants: 4 people, children aged 3 and 1
Office / family use or home office?: No
Overnight guests per year: Rare or never

House Design
Who created the plan:
- Architect / Do-it-Yourself
What do you especially like? Why?
- The open kitchen and the location of the bathroom on the upper floor
What do you not like? Why?
- The staircase immediately in the entrance area and the hallway in front of the guest toilet
Preferred heating system: Air source heat pump

Why did the design end up like this?
For example, a standard design from the planner?
This initially was a standard design from our architect, which was then gradually changed piece by piece by us. The current floor plan hardly resembles the original. That’s exactly why we are now uncertain, since we have deviated so much from the “standard.”

Ground floor plan of a house: living/dining area, kitchen, hallway, WC, technical room, terrace.


Upper floor plan: two children's rooms, master bedroom with dressing room, hallway, bathroom.


Bird's-eye view: house on a triangular plot with garden; street on the left, cemetery above, neighboring house.

Is the ridge direction predetermined?

If the original poster shows up again, I would be interested to know what the 7m (23 feet) distance to the street is about. Is that a requirement? If so, what exactly does it say?

If the OP shows up again,

I have not believed that since last night when I had the north-facing issue 😕
Strange…. ! I would have liked to see the architect’s original design draft

You said it!
Why bother going through all the effort to upload all the information and then never return? Did the bank reject the loan? Did the dog die? Hello?
