ᐅ Opinion on Our Architect’s Floor Plan

So this is his design that you showed here in the first post.

The design has already been revised. The roof shape will also be different.
However, a discussion in the forum unfortunately leads to nothing productive.
Still, thanks to the one or two people who provided some food for thought.

I believe there is a huge difference between rooms that receive direct sunlight and those that do not. In your plans, the living areas practically get no direct sunlight during the winter months.

Yes, there are windows that will let in some light, but a sun-filled room or a side of the room that gets sunlight feels much more livable to me, especially in winter, so I would always pay attention to that.

For example, placing the parents' wing facing the street and arranging the two children's bedrooms each with a south-facing side towards the garden.

The large workshop extension could perhaps be positioned differently, for example more towards the street/north side, and then see if it’s possible to orient the kitchen and dining area to get east/southern light.

As is often the case, the thanks would be most deserved by those whose suggestions are overlooked by the original poster ;-)

Someone comes in hoping for admiration, but given the quality of what’s presented, mostly receives “ouch” and “oh no” — well, that’s cause and effect. A discussion becomes more productive when the free and open questioning of the admiration for the (r)esult takes place. A good painkiller, as Otto Waalkes said, has to hurt when you swallow it ;-)

Whispering tendencies into an architect’s ear is always a trap that one can fall into oneself. And as a general rule, the mother of MTBF is Clean Code, and the patch is a wolf in sheep’s clothing, its enemy. Scram quickly to the grandfather clock, Little Lamb Number Seven!

That the roof shape is now going down the drain is an irony of history — after all, it once carried the hope of escaping the supposed danger of uniformity.
But man’s will is his kingdom, no matter the cost. As Ulrich Wickert put it so well: the weather.

For exactly these reasons, like your pointless comments again and again, forums simply don’t make any sense.

It’s interesting how people can waste their lives like this.

I’m out.

In post #15, I explained to you the purpose and intent of Yvonne’s questionnaire and, by the way, also praised you for wanting to complete the design phase before transferring it into CAD. In post #18, I pointed out that glare and summer heat protection are better ensured proactively rather than reactively, warned you against handing over an architect-designed house to a general contractor for execution, and even quantified the additional costs of the wrong approach by choosing to request quotes instead of conducting a tender. In post #60, I replaced your purple outline marking by inserting your detailed floor plan into the aerial image and (also in post #63) expressed doubts about its fit. Furthermore, I warned you about alienating good suppliers through clumsy inquiries and asked a follow-up question that unfortunately went unanswered. In post #69, I highlighted the connection between thorough planning, smooth execution, and long-lasting enjoyment of the building. I also followed your crosspost as “wuehler” over “in the green.”

None of those comments were pointless — but they were [u]unproductive (because you made them so). It only becomes wasted time when you bite the hands that help.

By the way, I only add my personal thoughts where there are no wise words yet from other participants — which is why my likes on their contributions far exceed the number of my own posts.

We have finally finished our floor plan and find it perfect for us.
The elevations are now also completed.
However, we are not 100% sure about them yet.

At least the documents are now with the home builder for costing.
