AllaFeinDevelopment Plan / Restrictions
Plot size: 342 sqm (11 m x 31 m / 36 ft x 102 ft)
Floor area ratio: -
Floor space index: -
Building envelope, building line and boundary: 80 sqm footprint (external dimensions)
Edge development: The first builders submitting a building permit / planning permission may decide on house dimensions
Number of parking spaces: 2
Number of floors: 2 full floors, 1 attic, 1 basement
Roof type: gable roof
Architectural style:
Orientation: kitchen northeast, living room southwest
Maximum heights/limits: wall height 6.75 m (22 ft)
Additional requirements
Owners’ Requirements
Architectural style, roof type, building type: semi-detached house, gable roof
Basement, floors: see above
Number of occupants, ages: 2 adults, 2 children
Space requirements on ground floor and upper floor: room layout as desired in the floor plan
Open or closed architecture: open
Conservative or modern construction: modern
Open kitchen, kitchen island: kitchen with island in the northeast
Number of dining seats: 6
Fireplace: yes, as shown
Music / stereo wall: no
Balcony, roof terrace: yes, max. 16 sqm (172 sq ft) terrace and 8 sqm (86 sq ft) balcony as per plan
Garage, carport: no garage, parking space only
Utility garden, greenhouse: no
Additional wishes / special features / daily routine, also reasons why some features are included or excluded:
To the northeast, there is a view of open fields where no construction is expected for the next 10-15 years and likely will remain open. We want to make use of this view while also addressing the senses in the southwest, where the living room is located.
House Design
Planner:
- Planner from a construction company: no
- Architect: yes
- Do-it-yourself: yes
What do you like most and why?
What do you dislike and why?: We really like that the room layout matches our wishes exactly. However, the plan was copied 1:1, and we would appreciate feedback on whether what we have drawn is sensible.
Preferred heating system: air source heat pump
If you had to give up certain details or features, which ones?
- Can give up: hallway width
- Cannot give up: ground floor bathroom, corner terrace + balcony
Why was the design made this way? For example:
Standard design from planner?: no, customized
Which wishes were implemented by the architect?
Room layout, corner terrace
What do you think makes it particularly good or bad?
Good: wishes were taken into account. But is there room for optimization regarding storage? Are the bathrooms large enough?
Important to know: on the ground floor, the pantry is planned on the left side without a wall. That means the kitchen is 460 cm (181 inches) wide and the pantry 120 cm (47 inches). The bathroom on the upper floor in the northeast is also planned to have a partition wall for a utility room about 140 cm (55 inches) wide.
Looking forward to your feedback!

If you are building with a basement, you should build up to the property line next to the neighbor (and in general: coordinate the house profile at the bonding edge). See the Goalkeeper thread and the keyword "underpinning." If I haven't miscalculated, the setback from the boundary is about 15cm (6 inches) too small.

The Big End-of-Year Puzzle
Where is north, and where is the kitchen? Once we know that, the west side and the living room location would also be clear. However, I don’t believe that the development plan specifies the kitchen’s position.
Maybe start by reviewing what information your post actually provides:
…
Left where? Where is the kitchen? Where is the bathroom?
Maybe you should take a moment to mark the floor plans clearly and then add the furniture layout.
If you want to upload them here, please do so filling the entire image without showing your battery status.
We can’t read minds, but we can interpret and combine clues between the lines. Still, with three unknowns, they remain unknown.
By the way, the parking spaces are easy to identify.
