Hello, I would like to hear your opinions. What do you think? Are there any suggestions for improvement? The west side faces open fields, so we wanted the living room to be oriented that way.
Development Plan / Restrictions
Plot size: 900 sqm (9,688 sq ft)
Flat land
Floor area ratio 0.4
Building line and boundary: 3 meters (10 feet)
Number of parking spaces: 2
Number of floors: 1
Roof style: gable roof and flat roof
Architectural style: modern
Orientation: west
Client Requirements
Small office, only for emergencies
3 people aged 38, 38, and 2
No overnight guests
Large kitchen with dining area, separate living room, covered terrace
House Design
- Do-it-yourself
Why is the design as it is now?
We considered all the desired rooms.
Access from terrace directly to kitchen and bathroom.
The main house will have a gable roof to allow attic space for storing boxes. The pull-down staircase can be installed in the long hallway. The part with the covered terrace will have a flat roof. However, we are not sure if having two types of roof will be expensive.
We also like a modern gable roof with trapezoidal metal roofing. This should be quite affordable… does anyone have experience with that?
I attached a picture of various houses that inspired us.
Does anyone have a rough idea of the cost? We are still very early in the process and many builders are reluctant to provide quotes due to uncertain material prices.
Construction is planned for 2023.

Maybe edit the screenshot by removing the unnecessary top and bottom margins and add the property boundaries with a north arrow to the drawing.

Zweithaus17 Sep 2021 15:45Why are you placing the staircase right in the middle of the house? Why not position it between the living room and the office? That way, you would have a nice, open hallway instead of that awkward, cramped space. Besides, a staircase doesn’t necessarily have to be the most visually prominent feature in the house. As it is now, it’s really being put right in everyone’s face.
Also, your living area hallway will be quite dark. If you removed that unnecessary connecting door, it would look better—especially since you’ll probably keep the door open anyway.
