Hi, we are building a house with a very well-known prefab house company, and this is the preliminary floor plan.
Site Plan/Restrictions
Plot size: 1100 sqm (11,840 sq ft)
No site development plan/land use restrictions
Client Requirements
Style, roof type, building type – urban villa with hipped roof
Basement, floors – no basement, 2 full stories
Number of people, ages – mom, dad, 2 boys, and grandparents
Office: will be used as a naturopathic practice
Guest sleepers per year: many!
Open or closed architecture: open
Open kitchen
Number of dining seats: 6
Garage, carport: possibly carport
Wishes/Particulars/Daily routine: shared use of the practice by the client and grandma, who lives in the extension. Possibly a third child (hence a room on the ground floor with a shower).
House Design
Who designed it:
- Modified standard plan from a large prefab house company
What do you particularly like? Why?
- Gallery + open ground floor, large floor-to-ceiling double windows
What do you dislike? Why?
- Possibly the living room is too small
Estimated price according to architect/designer:
- approx. 475,000 € (only the house, without land)
Personal price limit for house including fittings: 500,000 €
Preferred heating system: gas boiler and underfloor heating
If you had to give up anything, which details/extensions
- Could give up: possibly different window arrangement, possibly 2 bathrooms upstairs
- Cannot give up: 3rd children’s room and the practice
Why is the design like it is now? e.g.
See above: practice, possibly 3 children, multigenerational house
What is the most important/basic question about the floor plan in 130 characters?
We searched a long time for the ideal house for us and my parents and finally found it. Before signing next week and starting construction, we want a last check. Any improvement suggestions? Maybe how to enlarge the living room? Thanks in advance. PS: we want to remove the windows marked in yellow. All windows in the house are floor-to-ceiling.

At least the senior extension has been somewhat worsened – I wouldn’t want to misuse the strong word "improved" here. Do alternative practitioners mainly do home visits now? Because the treatment room seems very impractical to me, and the patients will probably use the bathroom in the annex about as often as the guest toilet in the main house – if that’s not intended, I don’t see this design as ready for approval yet. The overall appearance seems "off" to me, meaning the extension looks visually like it’s "without a roof." What exactly is this "temporary property boundary" that cuts a wedge into the floor plan? Our property consists of two parcels of land. The original boundary between them was already shifted about 100 years ago, or rather, it’s no longer visible as such. Our land is flat and extends up to a slope.

The energy provider requires a minimum clearance between the fuse, fuse carrier, and the nearest wall, cabinet, or appliance.
Is that clearance not met in this case?
There is a lack of a cloakroom and storage room for miscellaneous items.
The cloakroom is now available.Laufi92 schrieb:
I researched this. A utility room for house connections must be at least 1.80 x 2.00 m (5 ft 11 in x 6 ft 7 in). The passageway is 1.77 m (5 ft 10 in) wide and over 2 m (6 ft 7 in) long. So it almost fits.
It seems to me that you have carefully cut out the working spaces in front of the equipment, so it should fit—at least as a feasibility study; the detailed implementation will have to be done by the manufacturer.
