We are planning to build a solid structure house with a general contractor. After several planning rounds, we now have a preliminary floor plan.
The goal was an open layout on the ground floor and a cellar that can be used as living space as effectively as possible.
The house faces southwest with the terrace. The bathroom has not yet been designed.
To the north, the property borders the neighboring house.
Development plan/restrictions
Plot size: 580 sqm (about 6,243 sq ft)
Slope: no
Roof type: flat roof
Architectural style: Bauhaus
Orientation: southwest
Maximum height/limits: 2 floors
Client requirements
Style, roof type, building type
- Full basement
- Number of occupants, age: 2 adults, 2 toddlers
- Office: home office
- 1 guest bedroom for extended stays several weeks per year
- open architecture
- modern construction
- open kitchen preferably with an island
- 8 dining seats
- Fireplace
- Garage + carport (located at the edge of the property – entrance to the house only from the sidewalk)
House design
Designer: planner from a construction company
Preferred heating technology:
Air-source heat pump
Why does the design look the way it does now?
For example, which client wishes were implemented by the planner?
What do you think makes it especially good or bad?
Generous open floor plan on the ground floor, flexible room layout
What is the key/basic question about the floor plan in up to 130 characters?
- Kitchen: is there enough space for a kitchen with an island? Is there sufficient storage and workspace?
- Master bedroom: does the master bedroom feel open enough or rather cramped?
- Terrace: what is the best way to plan the roof/covering?
We are happy to receive your ideas and suggestions! 🙂

The corner cabinets in the dressing room cost you about 1 meter (3.3 feet) of usable space, so the second version is indeed larger in floor area but offers hardly any more storage capacity.
Have you planned for air conditioning?What do you mean by corner cabinets? Both versions have a straight layout.
A ventilation system is planned, and additionally, an air conditioning unit is still being considered.

I tend to think more practically than design-oriented. How did your planner envision the routing of water supply and wastewater from the bathroom on the upper floor to the utility room?I had actually addressed that as well. Wastewater probably doesn’t need to go into the utility room and will be discharged through downpipes outside, around the house. Otherwise, the layout options are somewhat limited by the site conditions to consistently implement the recommended concept of keeping bathrooms, kitchen, and utility room close to each other.
