Hello everyone,
I have been in the planning phase for some time now.
I created the floor plan myself based on model homes.
To get a professional opinion, I have already talked to a construction company.
The designer initially drew a plan that I didn’t like. At the next meeting, I showed him my proposal, which he liked quite a bit. We discussed some revisions, and that became the first draft.
I would appreciate any criticism or suggestions and look forward to your opinions.
Development Plan / Restrictions
Plot size: ~1000 m2 (not yet officially measured)
Slope: average incline 7 degrees (approx. 1.5m (5 feet) height over 10m (33 feet) length)
Floor area ratio: 2
Roof style: hip roof
Further restrictions regarding the development plan are unknown
Homeowners’ Requirements
Style, roof type, building type: bungalow with basement and hip roof
Basement, floors: basement + 1 floor
Number of occupants, age: 2 people (29 & 34)
Rooms needed in basement: garage (2 parking spaces), office, entrance area + wardrobe, laundry room (washing machine, toilet, possibly a small shower), utility room & storage
Rooms needed on upper floor: kitchen, living room, dining room, bedroom + walk-in closet, children’s room, office & guest room
Office: family use or home office: both family use + home office (both work from home, so 2 offices needed)
Overnight guests per year: approx. 4 times
Open or enclosed layout: rather enclosed; kitchen open to dining table
Conservative or modern style: rather modern preferred
Open kitchen, cooking island: open kitchen + cooking island
Number of dining seats: a dining table for 8 people should fit
Fireplace: not required
Music/sound system wall: no
Balcony, roof terrace: no
Garage, carport: garage, carport possibly later
Vegetable garden, greenhouse: no
Other wishes/special features/daily routine, including reasons why certain things are wanted or not:
We prefer the entrance in the basement since we travel by car about 90% of the time and therefore don’t need a door upstairs.
In the kitchen, we considered having a window as the backsplash (between the countertop and upper cabinets), as we really liked it in a model home. However, it somewhat disrupts the exterior appearance. We are still undecided whether this added value is worth it.
House Design
Who designed it: DIY
What do you like most? Why? We really liked the somewhat separated living room in a model home because it feels cozy. So, we incorporated it into our plan.
What do you dislike? Why? The arrangement of the windows from the outside
Estimated cost according to designer: For the ground floor: approximately 250,000 for the performance stage (shell + roof and windows), ready for interior finishing, which will be done by ourselves. Electrical, plumbing, and screed will be contracted separately.
Basement: no estimates yet
Personal price limit for the house, including fixtures: 600,000
Preferred heating system: geothermal heat with horizontal collectors
If you have to give up something, which details/extensions
- can you give up: guest room (could possibly be combined with an office)
- can you not give up: 2 offices for home office, with my office preferably being in the basement
Why is the design as it is now? For example
We first included all our wishes in this plan to get initial cost estimates.
Looking forward to your opinions.
Best regards from Austria

Is the site infrastructure already in place? It’s not in place yet, but according to the municipal office, it’s not a problem.

If I understand correctly, you mainly fell in love with the fact that in the Hartl show home the TV lounge area is separate "around the corner" from the kitchen area. You’re right.
I’ve already realized I need to think it over carefully again.

You’re now treating yourself to two more luxuries / luxuries / luxures (help me out, what is the correct plural of luxury? You’re usually more confident with German than we jam makers) Unfortunately, I’m not so confident either, but I know what you mean.

In which federal state is the construction taking place? Lower Austria. To be honest, I’m not familiar with the state building regulations in Austria either.

The inquiry concerned the neighboring plot to the south. Plot 1228 should be designated as building land. Yes, exactly, 1228 is building land. The building line is clearly marked here.

My proposal places the garage in the way. Oh, I meant the driveway to the garage itself. In my opinion, you don’t need to drive behind it.

1228 is within the building zone. The building line is marked prominently here. What does "building line" mean in your area? (For us, it’s a building boundary up to which you must build.)
I see two thick lines, one black and one red. You’ve apparently selected several layers to display at once in the online cadastral map, which makes it hard to read here.
Oh, I guess it probably marks the border between the inner and outer development zones.

Lower Austria. To be honest, I’m not familiar with any regional building regulations in Austria either. But you surely have some. Nothing makes states happier than their own separate sets of rules.

Oh, right—probably the boundary between the inner and outer development areas is meant.
But I’m sure you have your own rules too. Nothing gives federal states more pleasure than making their own plans. The official from the municipality mentioned that no land is being developed beyond this line in my village.
I’ll have to look up these building regulations. They’re probably written in technical language that’s hard for laypeople to understand.

In the basement, there will be 2 children's bedrooms, an office, entrance area, wardrobe, bathroom, utility room, and storage room.Well, that doesn’t really match the dream house concept; it sounds more like a classic hillside villa. 11ant schrieb:
Maybe @ypg can come up with something nice, since the plot would suit a split-level house.I haven’t seen any mention of a slope or at least a section drawing anywhere. Or did I miss it?H

Not available yet, but according to the local authority, it’s not a problem.
That’s a good start. However, I wanted to point out that it can also cost several tens of thousands.I would first inquire about the costs with all utility providers.

I haven’t seen any mention of a slope or at least a cross-section. Or did I miss it? See posts #10 and #21
At the beginning, the incline is about 15% (approx. 8.5°), then it decreases slightly towards the northwest.
In my opinion, only a basement and ground floor work here.
