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!

What does the red dashed line – the boundary of the building envelope – mean?
Do you mean it hasn’t been finally surveyed yet, for example because it is still being consolidated? But the actual ground elevations should already be known (?), since they are relevant for height restrictions as well as possible terrain grading. We often read here about plots where the original poster says, "definitely no significant slope," but then measurements suddenly show a three-meter (about 10 feet) difference between the front and back of the site.

Flottertoni6 Feb 2020 21:20Currently, the plot is still a field, which is actually almost flat. No slope, etc.
Correct, there is no road running along the plot. I didn’t specify this clearly, sorry!
There is only this one driveway where the red dashed line is (building area). Otherwise, the building area is marked by the black dashed line at the top and bottom.
The house must maintain a 2.5m (8 feet) setback, the garage does not.
This is the main reason why I am reluctant to move the garage. The entire house would shift backward, and the driveway would become very large.
Additionally, when entering the property, you would drive straight into the garden.
