House Design
Designer:
- Do-it-Yourself
What do you particularly like? Why? Straight staircase with storage room underneath possible
What do you dislike? Why? Kitchen is too small because no dining area is possible in the kitchen
Price estimate according to architect/planner:
Personal price limit for house, including equipment:
Preferred heating system:
If you have to give up certain details or expansions
- Can give up: garden area on the north side
- Cannot give up: office
Why is the design the way it is now? e.g.
The design was created by ourselves. The problem is: the garage is accessed from the south/west side, meaning the entrance is on the side and anyone can see into the garden, which is also on the south side. The north side is not an option (no sunlight there). West or east would be an option but unfortunately not possible as there is no space on the left or right sides of the house or garage (3m (10 ft) distance to neighbors must be maintained).
Since the house and garage already take up a large part of the plot, the garden is also relatively small (about 110m² (1184 sq ft) only in front by the terrace). We would still have a green area in the north, but this seems unnecessary. However, there is a playground nearby.
The office MUST remain because of self-employment. The kitchen could also be located in the north and be a bit larger.
A utility room connected to the garage is also essential.
Has anyone been in a similar situation and could offer some suggestions for changes?
Thank you in advance.

Tip 2: Short driveway -> less paving -> lower costs! The savings you can make here are definitely not negligible. Also applies to the floor area ratio, by the way.https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

Garage in the southeast corner?!
And to clarify: you also get sunlight in the garden on the north side, especially in the evening. How much sunlight enters through which window is another matter: generally, south-facing windows get the most sun, while north-facing ones let very little light into the house. This needs to be considered separately. You can easily illuminate a large open-plan living area with southwest-facing windows, while the terrace can be accessed on the northwest side.

Driveway southeast
Main terrace northwest
I have no idea how it is in summer. Last weekend, it was barely bearable on the south, southwest side.
In the northwest, there is almost always some sun from midday, and in the afternoon we set up the sunshade.
I would change quite a bit in the upper floor. Are you planning for 3 children, or is that a guest, hobby, or some other type of room?
I would place the house and garage differently on the plot.
As suggested by YPG
Garage southeast closer to the street
Living area southwest
Main terrace northwest

The area in front of the staircase seems far too dark for me, and such a narrow stairwell is a matter of personal taste. In the living room, you have a view of the parked car. The dressing room looks like it wouldn’t even have enough space for 3m (10 feet) of closet length.
Best regards,

And in the yard, a nice spot to enjoy the sun on a bench during the cold season. Second and third terraces always work [emoji4]
On the exterior views, the carport is right on the property line, extending around the corner. That’s of course not allowed and is regulated by the regional building code regarding how much boundary construction is permitted. Usually max. 9/12 meters (30/40 feet)...
12.5 x 14 meters (41 x 46 feet) is the footprint of the house on the plot... 168 sqm (1,808 sq ft).
According to the floor area ratio, 240 sqm (2,583 sq ft) is allowed. It might be that this also covers the driveway.
So be careful with the building design, as it might all add up too much, and the generous floor area ratio can quickly be exceeded.
