Dear house building community,
After much consideration, I have decided to share our preliminary design here. As a longtime passive reader, I would like to give back to the community with this small contribution and perhaps even inspire some readers with our floor plan.
For context: We have completed the preliminary design phase with the architect and are currently gathering quotes. The house will be a prefabricated home with slightly upscale features (KfW-40 standard, Q3 plaster, ventilation system, motorized blinds, etc.) and will cost around 3000 € per square meter (about 280 per square foot). I appreciate any feedback and look forward to many comments. Feel free to critically question the design. One note: we are satisfied with the planning and do not wish to make any changes.
Let’s get started!
Basic data:
Requirements:
I have kept it brief on purpose and do not want to reveal what I like or dislike about the design just yet. Instead, I’m going to relax now and grab some popcorn. If you want to know more, feel free to visit my website (Name + “.de”).
I’m looking forward to your opinions!

From my point of view, nothing gets better there. All the clutter and unwashed dishes that are often left around are the first things you notice.Please don’t assume that everyone has the same lifestyle habits. We already have a clean kitchen now. You just have to adjust your work habits accordingly.But anyway: I think the hallway situation has been fully discussed and concluded.

But visually, I find the kitchen nice.Tastes are really different. With all that clutter, it gives me a headache. The handles compete with the panelled cabinet doors, the white panelled doors compete with the wood-colored panelled doors.ypg schrieb:
Tastes really differ. This jumble gives me eye strain. The handles compete with the panelled fronts, the white panelled fronts with the wood-colored panelled fronts. Don't worry about it. The floor plan software is called LiveHome3D and mainly features 3D models of outdated American furniture. I tried to replicate the color and furniture concept as much as possible. Details like handles just get completely overlooked there...

So details like handles completely fall by the wayside there...Ah, okay. I’ve already narrowed down the different countertop thicknesses and wood grains for myself. But I thought at least the surfaces and handles had been chosen.

Please don’t assume others have the same lifestyle habits as you. How could I? After all, I don’t have three children who would constantly leave their stuff there. roteweste schrieb:
Anyway: I think the hallway situation has been fully discussed and concluded. Definitely. But it doesn’t get any better on its own.Similar topics
