Hello,
we have a building plot and everything is still possible.
Of course, we have wishes and ideas.
Just like people are different, we all build our houses differently...
I’m interested in how you would approach having two sides, namely the east and south sides, facing a green area: but with a tree preservation and planting requirement on the south side...
And you want to be part of this garden...
Here are the facts as suggested by the moderation:
Plot size 1159 sqm (12,470 sq ft)
No slope, only a slight incline along a ditch, but it’s on the building boundary anyway. With trees and planting according to the development plan on the long side, where a tree already stands. Building boundary on the long side 6 meters (20 feet). The rest 3 meters (10 feet).
Floor area ratio known only as a percentage: 60% may be built on.
Plot ratio unknown at the moment, definitely ridge height 12 meters (39 feet). Surrounding buildings are mostly one and a half stories, and bungalows are planned. There are practically no restrictions.
Building window, building line and boundary
Edge development, only known after consulting authorities, our plan fits...
Number of parking spaces 3
Number of floors 1 (1.5 floors would also be conceivable)
Roof shape gable roof.
Style simple bungalow
Orientation? See plan.
Maximum heights/restrictions
Other requirements are met.
2 neighbors.
One on the north side and one on the west side, but only on a small section.
The rest of the west side is the access driveway.
Client requirements
We have no particular style preference; for us, the important thing is that we found a nice building plot in this location at all and that we focus more on a reasonable budget, finding an affordable mortgage payment, and being able to live well in the long term.
Household of 4 people, visitors 3-5 (at once) at least 4 weekends per year... We have a caravan that is used as an extra bedroom for us.
An office and workspace would be very advantageous for us as technology and craft enthusiasts.
Sufficient space on a small footprint.
The living area could also be open up to the roof... Or have a ceiling like the other rooms. But no exact idea yet... The structural engineering should be feasible, but it’s not yet decided what budget we want to allocate to that...
Whether conservative or modern... I’d say a healthy mix. In any case, with
an open kitchen, a small kitchen island (not a must) but reasonable storage space in the kitchen. As a mom, I want to be part of the busy life, and I can no longer imagine having a separate kitchen.
A basement is not essential.
Double garage planned. Possibly a carport.
Number of dining seats: 6 definitely, 8 would be great.
A fireplace is planned.
Wishes/particulars/daily routine, also reasons why this or that should or should not be:
1. Room layout:
Bedroom on the long side, as that’s the quiet green side. The kitchen and living room should be basically part of the garden.
The kitchen has morning and evening sun.
The entrance is at the front because we decided that a side entrance near the neighbor—for example: getting out of the car and around the corner, behind the house—is too far away for us, and the front facing the street would otherwise only have a window for the utility room...
Terrace location still open. Probably there will be two... The evening sun will come around again.
House design
Who is the plan by:
Idea from the internet, adapted plan created by ourselves.
All windows on the south side are floor-to-ceiling. Two patio doors: one facing east, one to the south off the dining room. Kitchen sink window has a lower window section. Another kitchen window is also floor-to-ceiling.
Other rooms (bathroom, guest WC, office, utility room) standard height.
Oh, and the kitchen island here is probably drawn too large. Actually, it would be 1 meter (3.3 feet) on the sides and 1.5 meters (5 feet) facing the kitchen counter.
What do you particularly like? Why?
Bedroom on a quiet side, no neighbor.
Kitchen and living room basically part of the garden, also a corner without neighbors, facing the green.
What don’t you like? Why?
Storage room too far from the kitchen, but still the best solution... And my plan is to fit as much as possible into the kitchen.
Cost estimate, somewhere between 150,000 and 220,000 (without garage and without outdoor facilities)
Preferred heating technology: not settled yet, we are currently looking into air-source heat pumps.
If you had to give up something, which details/extras
- could you live without:
- could you not live without:
Bedroom, living, and kitchen must face the green side...
Fireplace must be included,
2 children’s rooms,
Bathtub must be included...
I could maybe do without a second patio door? And kitchen layout, I’m still open.
Looking forward to your suggestions and feedback.
I hope for constructive, respectful criticism.

That’s true. Maybe the design could still create more of a "greenhouse"—no, "sunroom" effect.

I actually find all the rooms quite dark. Maybe it's also an illusion caused, for example, by the huge sofa or the floor-to-ceiling windows in the children's rooms instead of wider windows with a sill.
Your comment about making part of the garden indoor instantly made me think of large windows with hardly any solid walls on the garden side.

Where is the driveway? Where are the neighbors?
Is there going to be reforestation down south?
At first glance, the hallway looks way too bulky....
200,000 including additional building costs and a buffer for a fully finished house, not a shell? Not fully finished. Basically, water connections and electricity are installed.

And the railway carriage story mainly refers to the hallway. No. The service compartment is for the parents, two compartments for the children, the corridor bends around the bathroom, and at the end of the carriage is the dining room.
Grit Stephan schrieb:
The calculation is based on 3 existing offers, due to the "simple" floor plan, standard windows, and gable roof. With realistic self-building work, including the foundation slab and additional construction costs and buffer, we are currently at about 200,000. That still sounds like a rough construction price at best.

Should "reforestation" take place down south? I must have overlooked that (?), but something like a tree-felling boundary and resulting 40% that is per se not buildable would explain the 60% statement.

(The development plan states (not literally, but in essence) that the surrounding conditions do not allow any restrictions or specifications. External links are not wanted here – but if you provide the municipality name and the development plan number, one can look it up. I think you are happily misreading the information there.

If there is a tree preservation boundary, I would probably place the house along it or build an angled bungalow with openings facing southeast or southwest.
Unfortunately, I cannot determine the plot dimensions, so I cannot assess whether the garage would be better positioned further forward or perhaps on the east side.
What I see is an entrance on the opposite side of the living area, poor private zoning, and a hallway that, when guests and others pass through, immediately greets all other residents whether they want it or not. For this reason, I would rather consider the entrance on the east side or rotate the house slightly to create two distinct zones within the home. I also have a Danwood house in mind with two additional gables for the kitchen and living room... Here, it just seems like a careless sequence of rooms.
Does the homebuilder offer any planning support? Is this a standard house type? Do they have an architect or “just” a draftsman?

Grit Stephan30 Apr 2018 11:17Reforested: yes, unfortunately. Three trees will still be planted along the long side.
Neighbors and driveway, I will prepare a sketch for that later.
