Orientation: no requirement
Maximum heights/limits
Additional requirements
Client Requirements
Architectural style, roof type, building type: preferred gable roof for photovoltaic system
Basement, floors: 2 floors without basement
Number of occupants, age: 2 persons (28, 30), 2 children planned
Space requirements on ground and upper floors: approx. 160 sqm (1,722 sq ft)
Office: family use or home office? Home office combined with a pull-out couch as guest bed. Home office about 50% of working time
Guest stays per year: approx. 3 per year
Open or closed architecture: open
Traditional or modern construction: modern
Open kitchen, kitchen island: essential
Number of dining seats: 6 standard — more possible 😀
Fireplace: optional
Music/sound system wall: optional
Balcony, roof terrace: none
Garage, carport: double garage preferred, possibly difficult due to no setback from the street (though common in our area). Alternative: double carport
Utility garden, greenhouse: planning still open
Additional wishes/special features/daily routine, also reasons for choices or omissions
House Design
Planning by:
- Do-it-yourself
What do you particularly like? Why? Open kitchen and dining area, spacious ground floor, somewhat separated living room, large technical room (as basement replacement), roomy study, southwest-facing terrace, efficient use of the plot
What do you dislike? Why? No direct access to the garden, few windows facing the garden, possibly too little parking space???
Cost estimate by architect/planner: not yet available
Personal price limit for the house, including fittings: 550,000 €
Preferred heating system: horizontal ground heat exchanger (trench collector), alternatively heat pump
If you have to compromise, on which details/features
- What you can give up: We have tried to limit ourselves to the essentials (no basement, alternative carport, space-optimized upper floor use, ...)
- What you cannot give up: number of rooms, spaciousness on the ground floor
Why did the design turn out the way it is? For example:
A mix of many examples from the forum, online floor plans, own ideas
What do you think makes it particularly good or bad? Efficient use of space on the upper floor and the plot
We look forward to your comments

Since you don’t know what matters, it’s better to show the plan. No link.May I upload the plan as an attachment?

The plan with the building envelope and the surroundings. One wonders why everything is pushed forward, as if there were a plague outbreak, a nuclear power plant, or a landfill in the east. It's not quite that bad. The idea was to have the terrace only on the west side and the rest of the garden connected on the east side. There should hopefully be enough space there for trees, a climbing frame, a sandbox, and so on. The inspiration comes from the video "Solid House for Small Plots (Wohnwerke)"—available on the most popular streaming platform.

Solid Construction House for Small Plots (Wohnwerke)I took a look at that. The house is situated on a very small urban plot, no more than 15 meters (50 feet) wide, oriented south to north. In Baden-Württemberg, a setback of 2.50 meters (8 feet) is allowed. Additionally, the plot is surrounded by multi-family buildings, which have made the best use of their space. Your plot doesn’t need that at all. Positioning the house like that significantly reduces both the quality of the house and your living comfort.
During the darker months, the house remains quite dark inside because there are hardly any windows on the south side at ground level. Also, it’s nice to be able to look out into the garden or see the terrace as an extension of the living area in good weather and watch the children from the terrace.
In my opinion, the house is wrongly positioned with its crosswise orientation.
If you orient it according to the plot’s shape, a 9-meter (30-foot) wide house on the south side can capture sunlight and have the terrace placed in a corner position either to the west and/or east.
I think your idea is “built-in” and your reasoning is misguided if you compare your plot with those used by Wohnwerke. Often plots are planned to be 20 meters (65 feet) wide, so that 30 meters (100 feet) length results in 600 square meters (6,460 square feet). An 18-meter (60-foot) width is therefore not necessarily narrow.

Thanks for the development plan. Have you checked the parking regulations to see if a carport is allowed directly next to the street? According to the parking regulations, an open carport (without side cladding) directly adjacent to the street is allowed. Otherwise, a clearance of 5m (16 feet) in front of the garage is required. However, in this town, there are some enclosed carports or garages located directly by the street. My next step would be to try to find out what the conditions are for that.
