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.

Hello everyone. I just wanted to thank you again for all your help!! Without you, our floor plan would never have turned out as great as it is now. Of course, I don’t want to withhold the final version from you. Unfortunately, installing the technical room in the hallway was not possible for several reasons. But as it is now, we are completely satisfied. Even the upstairs children’s rooms both have 15sqm (161 sq ft) each.
The only thing left is to remove the small partition walls in the main house living room and the separate apartment living area.

Although it’s already finalized, one thing I notice is that some of the doors might be better if hinged the other way around. I’m mainly referring to these:

We will pay attention to that, thanks Well, once the construction drawings are finalized and signed, you really have to be careful if any changes are still planned. Once the doors are ordered, any changes will cause unpleasant additional costs. So from now on, keep your eyes open.

Once the doors are ordered, any changes can lead to unpleasant extra costs. So from now on, keep your eyes wide open. We are also buying the doors and frames ourselves. We completely removed this finishing package, so we didn’t pay much attention to the door swings in the plans. We will review everything carefully again when we order the doors.
