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.

I understand your point about having a cozy living room, but you shouldn’t forget the walls. They will make the space feel small and cramped. Consider whether you might want to move your home office upstairs. That would give everything a bit more room to breathe.
Your kitchen also leaves little room to move. It looks sufficient on paper, but as soon as you want to cook or bake with someone else, you’ll end up bumping into each other. That just isn’t enjoyable in a new house.

Zweithaus9 Feb 2022 18:30Thank you for the many suggestions. I have an appointment at Bauplanet in March, and hopefully everything will come together then.
@Nordlys, you have a bungalow with an attic expansion potential. Could you please share some pictures showing how the interior looks with the 35° roof pitch?
How is the ceiling between the floors constructed?

Zweithaus9 Feb 2022 20:32@11ant Thank you, I probably misunderstood that. I thought it was meant as a storage room but could be repurposed at any time…

I think this could be how it turns out? Looking forward to it! I don’t think the floor plan is too bad at all. Things I would consider:
- Use the walk-in closet as a passageway to the bedroom (basically remove that corner and create a straight wall, similar to the design by ypg); this would add a bit of calmness.
- The utility room looks too "set up" in the picture. It’s so small, and the layout misses the main connections like water supply, etc. – Also not sure if the equipment shown is representative in size. In my opinion, with that utility room size, you won’t be able to fit much more than the technical equipment.
- The hallway is still quite large – you’ll have to decide if that’s what you want. It takes up many square meters that aren’t truly lived in (you never stay in the hallway, you just pass through). I would expect such a large hallway more in a significantly bigger house.
Edit: Sorry, I gave feedback on an older version of the design. But some points are still relevant. 🙂
