Hello everyone,
below you will find our plan. We are looking forward to your feedback.
Development Plan / Restrictions
Plot size: 900 m² (9700 sq ft)
Slope: No
Site coverage ratio: 0.3 or max. 180 m² (1940 sq ft)
Floor area ratio: None
Building setback (building line and boundary): 5 meters (16 ft) each from the street and neighbors
Number of parking spaces: No requirement
Number of floors: 2
Roof type: Gable roof or hipped roof
Maximum heights/limits: Ridge height (TH): 7.5 m (25 ft), Eaves height (OK): 11.50 m (38 ft)
Maximum driveway width: 5 meters (16 ft)
Homeowner Requirements
Style, roof shape, building type: Gable roof
Basement, floors: Basement and 2 full floors
Number and age of occupants: 2 adults, 2 children: 34, 33, 8, 6
Office, family use or home office?: Office will also be used as a guest room
Number of overnight guests per year: 12
Open or closed architecture: Semi-open
Traditional or modern construction: Modern
Open kitchen, kitchen island: Kitchen island
Number of dining seats: 10
Fireplace: Yes
Built-in sound system: No
Balcony, roof terrace: Balcony
Garage, carport: Garage and carport
Utility garden, greenhouse: No
Additional wishes/special features/daily routine, including reasons why certain elements are wanted or not: A children’s bathroom on the upper floor is not necessarily desired. We prefer a utility room on the upper floor because we want to do laundry there.
House Design
Designed by: DIY
What do you especially like? Why?: Own wardrobe; kitchen and dining area (we cook a lot) are not visible from the living room sightline.
What do you not like? Why?: The terrace roof with 2.80 m (9.2 ft) is actually too short.
Budget limit for the house, including features: 750K
Preferred heating system: Geothermal heat
Why was the design created this way?
It is well adapted to the plot conditions (corner lot) and our family’s needs.
What do you think are its biggest strengths or weaknesses?
We think it fits well with our needs (spacious living room and large kitchen, plus a separate wardrobe). Perhaps the master bedroom is not optimal because it might be too tight for two bedside tables, partly due to the chimney.
What is the most important/basic question about the floor plan in 130 characters?
Do you think the floor plan will work well in practice? What improvements would you suggest?
We planned a sliding door to the kitchen but are unsure whether to include a door at all, and if so, what kind. The same question applies to the wardrobe. Would you adjust the window arrangement in the living room?

Sorry, but I have to say this: this is the point where you stop tinkering with the initial concept and just scrap it. That long path to the kitchen is nonsense, the staircase doesn’t fit with the roof, the hallway is as dark as night, the living room doesn’t open to the garden, and the entire upper floor is questionable anyway – don’t be timid. Tear it apart and start over.

The “attic” includes a large knee wall in the plans. I don’t see a knee wall extending above the railing height here. The idea of having expandable attic space is not even remotely examined or proven simply by ensuring standing height at the stair exit.

Two floors are being discussed here, even though four floors are planned. If the basement is still part of the plan, I consider not only the knee wall but also the stairway to the attic unnecessary. I would insert a loft level in the children's rooms, design the bedroom with a vaulted ceiling, and create a crawl space above the dressing room and possibly the bathroom—done.

An amateur plan remains an amateur plan, even if you involve a draftsman (and they incorporate structural engineer feedback). But the Pyrrhic victory of pushing through this amateur plan against all reason (even if the result is “finally reaching the yard with great effort, carrying the child dead in your arms”) is a homebuilder’s proudest mission—almost nothing can stop that. Especially if you’ve found a house design that manages to work successfully around the desired staircase...

@11ant that should be the show home in Poing by Griffner Haus. They flipped the image.You’re right! I kept wondering why the photo of the exterior looked so familiar. The interior layout is completely different, starting with the staircase.

Inside, however, the layout is completely different, starting with the staircase. ... and it doesn’t stop with the unfinished "expansion reserve" attic. It’s a pity—I had hoped that at least a proven design, successful regarding the apparently “load-bearing” staircase here, had been chosen. By the way, I already suspected from the floor plans, in what I believe was the predecessor thread started by the OP’s husband, that this is definitely not a house with a pitched roof.
I think it was a movie with Barbra Streisand where a client, a Merkel type (or maybe Thatcher ...? — it’s been a long time), shows the hairdresser a picture of Lady Di saying, “I want to look like this.” That always comes to mind when someone deliberately chooses the most challenging foundation for their goal 🙂
@all dreamers: please start fewer “popcorn threads” — many advisers here and I would much rather help with successfully realized dream projects. Unfortunately, a manageable gap between ambition and feasibility is an important condition for success. Alternatively, maybe the @admin could consider creating a “Simulation House of the Month” section, where people can fantasize freely without the constraints of annoying gravity and boring costs. Either way, I would really appreciate fewer mixed threads of “just a little push and it’ll work” combined with hopeless-but-funny topics!

We have revised the upper floor plan again and now have two options: with and without a storage room. There should be enough light and space in the hallway. What do you think, would you prefer to have a storage room? We would use the storage room for the vacuum cleaner, cleaning supplies, etc.
Without storage room and a low board:
With storage room:
Thank you.
