Hello dear house building forum,
I would like to gather opinions and suggestions for improvements regarding my floor plan and look forward to exchanging ideas.
I am particularly struggling with the transition between the living and dining areas. On the one hand, I want to be able to look from the living area, through the dining area, out onto the property. On the other hand, I would like a clear physical separation between these spaces. Currently, a double sliding door is planned. However, the wall does not offer much space. The sliding door needs to be pushed somewhere. In the dining area, a lift-and-slide door will be added or implemented in the western corner. It should be about 2.80 m (9 ft 2 in) wide.
We have also been thinking hard about the entrance area. How can we create plenty of storage without wasting much space, while coordinating with the orientation of the platform staircase? I am worried that we may have created a bit of a bottleneck there.
Good luck
R.

I did not want to be offensive by using "expert." Let’s stick with "professional."
So, do you find the quoted prices of 3500-7000€ realistic and acceptable?

So, do you consider the quoted prices of 3500–7000€ realistic and acceptable? That always depends on the services provided. Phases 1 and 2 together account for 9 percent of the total architect’s fee, while phases 1 through 3 add up to 34 percent (see also: "A Building Construction Roadmap, also for You: the HOAI Phase Model!", which I recommend only as a guideline and primarily for larger projects and different target groups when it comes to fee structures). Homeowners building single-family houses should approach architects as equals, rather than going to large firms like "XYZ and Partners Architects and Engineers Worldwide Partnership." Residential construction for a family’s own use is fundamentally – and literally – a different matter than developments for the housing market in boomtown cities. For 14,000€, you can at least get a small new car from brands like Dacia or Mitsubishi, which I believe is a legitimate benchmark for average consumers.
