Hello everyone,
we will begin building a single-family house at the end of August and I would like to share our current house plan here.
Development Plan / Restrictions
Plot size 567 sqm (approximately 6,104 sq ft)
Slope no
Floor area ratio (FAR) 0.4
Site coverage ratio 0.8
Building setback, building line, and boundary 2.5 m (8 feet) from the property border
Number of parking spaces 2
Number of storeys 2
Roof type pyramid roof
Architectural style urban villa
Orientation garden facing south
Client Requirements
Style, roof type, building type urban villa
Basement, storeys 2 full floors without basement
Number of occupants, age 2 people, 26/27 years
Office: family use or home office? office possibly also as a guest room
Open kitchen, kitchen island yes
Number of dining seats
Fireplace no
Balcony, roof terrace garden terrace
Garage, carport detached double garage, prefabricated construction
Orientation living and dining rooms facing the garden
House Design
Planned by: initially in collaboration with the developer
What do you particularly like? Why? staircase in the living/dining area
What do you not like? Why? window layout, living room feels like an “extended” hallway due to sofa placement
Estimated price according to architect/planner: ~361,000 euros (excluding garage, additional construction costs)
Preferred heating technology: air-to-water heat pump
If you have to give up, which features/finishes
- can you give up? not yet considered
- cannot do without: electric shutters, blinds in living/dining area and kitchen, staircase in living room, so-called T-solution in the bathroom
I would like to emphasize that these are still some of the first drawings. The furniture, kitchen, etc. have only been placed as placeholders for now.
It should also be mentioned that the main entrance can only be on this side, as we have a “small” driveway at the edge of the plot in front of the garage.
In short, what I am not completely satisfied with in the current plan:
- window distribution
- living room, because the sofa can only be placed this way due to the casement window
I am very grateful for any further tips or criticism!

We prefer a garage that is not directly attached to the house, both for aesthetic reasons and as a covered entrance. Whether this is advantageous, I can’t say for sure yet. Friends have the same setup and are satisfied. However, we will draw both versions again. But please make sure it’s not just a passageway but used efficiently, since 500m2 (about 5380 sq ft) isn’t exactly a lot of space.
If you really want this, take a look at the model homes from Weberhaus in Günzburg and Wuppertal. You could, for example, place the front door in the passageway—that’s what we did. I’ll take a photo later since I’m heading down to the house soon, or maybe put the utility room there…

A gable roof would be an option. We will discuss it in the first meeting with the architect and possibly have it drawn up.
It would also work really well with your photovoltaic system.

Here you can see the current plan available from the local authorities. In post #58 finally – I can’t believe I’m still here to see this *sigh*

Both visually and for a covered entrance, we like a garage that is not directly attached to the house. I agree with this approach, but the benefit for the arrangement of the building volumes does not lie solely in removing the connecting door and the shared wall without actually making use of the gained flexibility in positioning. I would also remove the roof cover and the wind tunnel effect.

Flottertoni8 Feb 2020 16:32Hello everyone, I’ve reconsidered the design and made the following adjustments to the house.
Changes:
- No passage between the house and garage
- Direct connection from the garage into the utility room (plant room)
- Terrace on both the south and west sides
The interior layout will likely still be changed. For now, my top priority is the overall floor plan.
The house remains 10.25 x 10.25 m (34 x 34 ft) in size.
The bay window on the north side will be slightly enlarged to include the entrance.
Do you have any ideas for the room layout?
It’s important to us to have a straight staircase starting from the living room → a solid concrete staircase with wooden treads (but with open space beneath the stairs, so it’s not a fully filled staircase).
We’re not yet happy with the fact that you can see straight through the house from the entrance.
Thanks to all of you!

Grantlhaua8 Feb 2020 21:34Silly question, but what is the purpose of the door from the utility room to the garage? You can already walk into the garage without getting your feet wet.

Flottertoni8 Feb 2020 22:00It was just marked like that and, as mentioned above, can still be changed.
So far, the focus here has only been on the positioning of the garage and the general layout of the interior.
