Hello dear forum community 🙂,
I have been reading various topics here with great interest for several weeks now and I’m very happy to finally have the first draft from our architect in my hands today.
We are open to suggestions for improvements and look forward to your comments.
Here are a few details:
- planned living area is about 160 sqm (1,722 sq ft) plus a double garage with an adjacent storage room
- the house is located on a 956 sqm (10,296 sq ft) plot in a new residential development
- the entrance faces north
- brick construction (my partner is a bricklayer 🙂 )
- the house should have room for four people, although we are currently only two
- the drawn furniture is for better visualization only
Thank you very much for your help!

we have now decided to use the gable as a work corner without adding extra space, since having a bright hallway is very important to us 🙂 @ypg: Thanks for the tip 🙂 , but could you please clarify what you mean by straightening the angled walls (I’m a bit confused at the moment)? Do you mean just straightening the slant in the storage room and leaving the bedroom entrance as an angled wall?
@Wanderdüne: Why do you think the garage limits the sense of spaciousness in the living room? We deliberately extended the garage so that we automatically have privacy screening from the left neighbor when sitting on the garage roof 🙂
Yesterday, someone pointed out the size of the bathroom and the guest toilet again… in your experience, are these dimensions sufficient?
Thank you very much for your help, and have a great weekend everyone! 🙂

We deliberately extended the garage so that we automatically have privacy from the neighbor on the left when we sit on the (terrace) 🙂 It can be appealing to see another part of the building when looking out from inside. However, this should be at a distance that does not create a cramped feeling or a tunnel vision effect. Privacy screens are important, but they can also be effectively created with planting (please avoid the usual conifer mix).
