Hello everyone,
great forum here! I’ve already gathered some really good ideas. Regarding my topic: we are currently in the planning phase for an urban villa and need some advice.
Development Plan/Restrictions
Plot size – 649 sqm (6985 sq ft)
Slope – no
Site occupancy index (floor area ratio) – 0.3m (0.3)
Floor space index –
Building window, building line and boundary: 3m (10 ft)
Boundary development: carport only
Number of parking spaces – 2
Number of floors – 2
Roof type – hip roof
Architectural style: urban villa
Orientation – southwest (more west)
Maximum height/limits – 10m (33 ft)
Client Requirements
Architectural style, roof type, building type: urban villa
Basement, floors: no basement
Number of residents, age: 3 people (planning for 4)
Space needs on ground floor and upper floor
Office: family use or home office?
Open or closed architecture
Conservative or modern style
Open kitchen, kitchen island: yes
Number of dining seats
Fireplace: yes
Balcony, roof terrace
Garage, carport: yes
Utility garden, greenhouse
House Design
Who created the plans: draftsman
What do you particularly like? Why? Bedroom with roof terrace access
What do you not like? Why? Living room too small? House orientation rather to the west?
Price estimate according to architect/planner: 1900 – 2000 € per sqm
Preferred heating technology: underfloor heating
If you have to give up something, which details/extra features
– can you give up: smaller hallway
– can’t you give up: short distances
Why is the design like it is now? For example
Standard design from the planner? Own ideas
Which wishes were implemented by the architect?
– Extension/bay window with roof terrace
– Carport -> utility room -> kitchen
What is the most important/basic question about the floor plan, summarized in 130 characters?
– Is the living room too small? A width of 3.50m (11.5 ft) for the TV wall seems small, as my sofa is already 3.50m (11.5 ft) long.
– What is the ideal distance between sofa and TV?
– Extension/bay window with roof terrace: Does it fit visually with an urban villa? And shouldn’t it be placed more towards the north (i.e., towards the kitchen instead of the center) to get more sun?
– Another floor-to-ceiling window in the living room? Does sunlight disturb TV viewing?
– Is a glass facade too much? I mostly see houses with staggered windows.
– Terrace too small / Does the extension cast too much shadow?
– Floor-to-ceiling windows on the 2nd floor on the carport side?
Note: The porch roof shown in the plan will be removed because it doesn’t fit due to space constraints.
One last tip: also check out existing discussions and neighboring threads: I often notice that similar questions come up simultaneously under the same conditions. Often, you can find answers to your questions through these discussions or get ideas on how other users solve certain problems during their home building.

Are you aware that one corner of the house extends beyond the building boundary?I never really understood why some people prefer to build their house against the property line (and on a tapering lot, would rather design recessed right-angled extensions instead of making the exterior walls more "organic" by aligning them with the property boundaries rather than parallel to each other). My late grandmother used to comment on this: "Pommer´sche Beene und französische Schuh´" :-)https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

Your floor plans and exterior views remind me a lot of our single-family house...

Maybe you can find something useful for yourself there.

I also think the idea of the bay window on the right is much better. However, you would still need to place the terrace IN FRONT of the bay window and not to the left of it (which would actually be a nice sheltered spot facing southwest), because otherwise you end up right next to the street, and I assume that’s not what you want? However, placing it in the middle does make the terrace quite "exposed." I’m not sure if that feels cozy. Plus, from the dining table, you’d be looking at the legs of your garden furniture instead of the garden itself.
Are you aware that the house protrudes beyond the building line with one corner?
Does it have to be a double garage / carport? Otherwise, the house could be shifted further to the right and the terrace would fit to the left of the bay window.

[ATTACH alt="Lageplan dbarenka.jpg"]54500[/ATTACH] Oh, so there’s only a field on the south side. Then the terrace can easily be placed on the left side 🙂
The porch roof will be removed as well, so the plot will fit. A double garage isn’t a must, but if I took a single garage only, I’d gain just 2m (6.5 feet). And when guests come, it would be tight.

Take a look at my thread... https://www.hausbau-forum.de/threads/stadtvilla-190-m-auf-bodenplatte.36860/
Maybe you can find some useful information there.Wow! Yes, it’s almost identical—only the kitchen is on the other side. Could you maybe send me some pictures of the house (especially the interior with the staircase)? Feel free to send them via private message. Is there anything you now see as a disadvantage?

Feel free to send them as a private message. Do you see any disadvantages so far?Unfortunately, I can’t share any pictures or experiences with you yet. The house only exists on paper so far. Construction is expected to start in late summer.

Oh, so on the south side there is just a field.That changes things! At least if there won’t be any construction there in the future. If there is open land / an unobstructed view to the south instead of neighboring houses, I would probably have oriented the entire house more toward the south rather than the west. Meaning built longer and narrower, with the long side facing south.
