ᐅ Floor plan of a single-family house with two full stories, 195 square meters, gable roof, located in Bavaria

We are currently considering the following points:

• Wall height on ground floor and upper floor (currently both are 2.50 m (8.2 ft))
• Wall windows in the attic?
• Consideration of roof windows
• When should we start detailed kitchen and bathroom planning, could this still affect the floor plan?
• Various window sizes and shapes, as well as their arrangement
• Not enough daylight at the staircase on the ground floor (windows similar to those on the ground floor instead of interior windows?)
• Skylight window in bathroom facing the garage possible? How much would the roof pitch of the garage need to be reduced? Possibly a slightly asymmetric roof pitch design for the garage?
• Currently, the bathroom feels very large, the walk-in closet is relatively small
• What effects does a wall height of 1.78 m (5.8 ft) have at the stairway leading to the attic?
• Is it possible to show the appliances in the utility/technical room? Possibly spatial separation?
• Positioning of the door in the utility/technical room, possibly toward the east-south?
• Any suggestions on what currently might be potential cost drivers

Or the garage with a flat roof looks better anyway.

Maybe with a small parapet. 4 minutes?

Or with a frame, then you can save the passage and still stay dry entering the house.

• First of all: nice design! The following points are just details.
• Most importantly: it can be smaller! We planned 174 m² (1870 sq ft) with similar sizes for the children’s and study rooms, as well as the open living-dining-kitchen area. Especially if you feel the budget might be tight: it’s possible to reduce the size by about 15 m² (160 sq ft). We even managed to fit a laundry room upstairs. If you’re interested in the design, just ask.
• Space wasters are: guest toilet (can be a bit smaller) and pantry (I would omit it). Instead, you could try to organize the kitchen more in an L-shape. But you’d have to check if that wouldn’t disrupt the overall design too much.
• The hallway/entrance fits well in terms of space. Personally, I find it a bit too narrow and corridor-like. We have a similar issue in our design. Still, I feel you could save a few square meters down there.
• When entering, you face a closed door about two meters (6.5 feet) ahead. I wouldn’t like that personally.
• Upstairs looks fine overall. I find the path from the laundry room to the washbasins not ideal. I prefer walking straight up to the basin when entering.
• Otherwise, you would have to adjust upstairs if you reduce downstairs. I think a walk-in closet is unnecessary, and the hallway could be slightly smaller as well. But for 200 m² (2150 sq ft), the layout works overall.
• I would suggest a flat roof for the garage. 6 x 9 m (20 x 30 feet) is the standard size for a precast concrete garage. We have received initial offers between 35k and 40k. With timber frame construction and a pitched roof, it easily goes over 60k.
• The exterior views are quite pleasing. However, the north side looks a bit too busy with windows for my taste.

Hello Slipknot,
maybe roteweste can help you a bit. Interestingly, we finished our design planning about a month ago. I’m considering whether to share the floor plan here since I also wanted to mention my construction blog in this context.

We had similar requirements: two full floors, three children’s rooms, a study, a utility room, and an attached garage. Our budget limit is 700k. However, we were less lucky with the plot. With over 800 m² (8600 sq ft), you can position the house however you want. I would place it as far north as possible (based on the plan), but maybe you’d like a small north-facing terrace for the hot summer. Those who have, can.

Regarding your floor plan:

• First of all: nice design! The following points are just details.
• Most importantly: it can be smaller! We planned with 174 m² (1870 sq ft) and have similar sizes for the children’s rooms, study, and the living-dining-kitchen area. Especially if you feel pressed for budget: you can go about 15 m² (160 sq ft) smaller. We even fit a laundry room upstairs. Let me know if you’re interested in the design.
• Space wasters are the guest WC (could be a bit smaller) and the pantry (I would omit it). Instead, you might try organizing the kitchen more in an L-shape. But you have to see if that doesn’t completely disrupt the design.
• The hallway/entrance is fine in terms of floor space. Personally, it feels a bit narrow and long. We have a similar issue in our design. Still, I feel you could gain a few square meters there.
• When entering, you stand in front of a closed door just two meters away. I wouldn’t like that personally.
• Upstairs is mostly fine. I find the path in the laundry room to the sinks not ideal. I prefer entering and walking directly toward the sink.
• Otherwise, upstairs would need adjustments if you make the ground floor smaller. I consider a walk-in closet unnecessary, and the hallway could also be a bit smaller. At 200 m² (2150 sq ft), overall it works.
• I would build the garage with a flat roof. 6 x 9 m (20 x 30 ft) is the standard size for a precast concrete garage. We received initial offers between 35k and 40k. With timber frame construction and a pitched roof, we’re easily over 60k.
• The exterior elevations are quite pleasing. However, the north side feels a bit too busy in terms of windows for me.

That’s it for now. I hope I could help!
