Client Requirements

Balcony, roof terrace facing north and northwest
Garage, carport yes, not included in plan
Utility garden, greenhouse
Additional wishes/special features/daily routine, also including reasons why some options are excluded
House Design
Origin of the design: by me, before meeting with architect
What do you particularly like? Why?
What do you dislike? Why?
Price estimate according to architect/planner:
I expect 3000 to 3100 EUR / m² (279 to 289 USD / sq ft)
Personal price limit for the house, including equipment: 900,000 EUR plus garage
Preferred heating technology: heat pump with horizontal trench collector
Why is the design the way it is now? e.g.:
We have now drawn several floor plans. All our ideas and priorities have been included. We would like your opinions on where you see potential for improvement. The building’s layout is very important to us. We deliberately avoid dormers, bay windows, etc.
Attached you will find the floor plan and site plan. (The house is to be built parallel and as close as possible to the street)
The difference between two contour lines is 1m (3.3 feet).
The arrangement of the rooms is intentionally chosen. Please do not discuss that the children’s rooms are on the north side.
Currently undeveloped, entirely meadow.
We would greatly appreciate your feedback and even more your suggestions for improvements.

Please do not confuse the contour lines with the distance to the road in the two plans. You are not making it easy for us! Rather, you are causing more confusion. Of course, one can confuse these if they are not constantly engaged with your property 24/7 as a user. Constructive criticism is only helpful and feasible when there is a precise basis for evaluation and discussion.

Would you be willing to combine both plans so that the slope and the house are shown together? Perhaps you should try entering your proposed house into the elevation plan yourself, which I asked Matthias to do. Maybe then you will recognize the issue?!

Otherwise, a lot of input has already been given in that thread from August 2023, none of which has been taken into account.Of course not, the original poster only pays attention to the praise for the floor plan, but there is none. So let it go, keep drawing, and start over. What is said when someone isn’t listening doesn’t matter. I’ll move on now, the sultan is thirsty.https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

I already did,
The placement is not quite correct. The house should be further to the right.
What would be more interesting is what exactly you wouldn’t want about it. I would appreciate it if you could be more specific here.
The surroundings can be seen in the pictures attached to the original post.
There are currently no houses within a 100m (330 ft) radius. The best view is from the dining room / living room.
I prefer not to attach the building permit / planning permission because I don’t really want everyone to know where I am building or how the house might look.
The building permit / planning permission doesn’t include any restrictions beyond those already mentioned (maximum height 12m (39 ft), maximum footprint 500m² (5380 sq ft), and the roof shape is free).

I sketched the ground floor onto the plot. However, I wouldn’t want it like that.
What does the surrounding area look like?
Where is the building permit / planning permission?

I would definitely not bring your own design to the architect. Given the budget, that would be ridiculous.
I’ll just list the obvious flaws and issues right away, without ranking or much judgment:
These are probably not all of them, and I haven’t even looked at the basement or the sloping site yet!
Just bring a list of your wishes, nothing more.
I’ll just list the obvious flaws and issues right away, without ranking or much judgment:
- Load-bearing walls not aligned
- Staircase with questionable headroom
- Kitchen located as far as possible from the terrace
- Living room tends to be a pass-through room
- Guest toilet right next to the cooking area
- Staircase entrance next to the front door in the dirt zone
- Windows of arbitrary sizes and placement
- Children’s rooms all different sizes
- Pointless corners in the children’s rooms
- One children’s room less than 3m (10 feet) wide
- Mini bathrooms – questionable movement space – ridiculous for the size of the house
- Parents’ bed placed under a window
- North-facing children’s rooms (no, they do not look outside)
- Kitchen ergonomics questionable with nearly 6m (20 feet) of back-and-forth movement
- Laundry chute runs through the living room
These are probably not all of them, and I haven’t even looked at the basement or the sloping site yet!
Just bring a list of your wishes, nothing more.

what is poorly done and immediately noticeable,- Sliding door of 2 meters (6 ft 6 in) doesn’t work.
- Offset of "load-bearing wall" on the ground floor.
- Partition wall in the dining area already maxed out at 3 meters (10 ft).
- Bedroom is a walk-through room.
- Floor-to-ceiling windows in front of shower and toilet.
- Bathroom located above the kitchen.
- Bottleneck in the children’s bathroom.
