Additional wishes / special features / daily routine, including reasons for choices
Laundry room was moved to the upper floor because there is hardly any space on the ground floor and the technical room is already very tight without washer and dryer. It was important to me to be able to dry laundry directly on the balcony, at least in warm weather.
We will have a cantilevered staircase and an open space above. Access from the garage to the house was important to me. I feel there is a lack of storage space for provisions, but maybe the kitchen will be big enough since we will have a side-by-side fridge again. We rarely use canned goods.
House Design
Who planned it: architect and many personal drafts
- Builder’s planner
- Architect
- Do-it-yourself
What do you particularly like? Cantilevered staircase with glass railing (which means I don’t mind cleaning it), balcony with glass railing, open living-dining area with fireplace.
What do you dislike? Why? The technical room takes up so much space and bothers me, but a basement was too expensive in terms of cost-benefit.
Price estimate according to architect/planner: 400,000 with 60,000 own contribution (window construction and installation, glass railing)
Personal price limit for the house including equipment: see above
Preferred heating system: heat pump
Additionally, controlled mechanical ventilation, and if budget allows, some connected home technology
If You Have to Give Up Something, which details / extensions
- Can you give up? Child 1’s room is a bit too large – the bathroom might get bigger.
- Can’t give up? Large children’s rooms >16 sqm (172 sq ft), high ceiling on ground floor 2.70 m (8.86 ft), large kitchen, 2 showers in the house
Why Has the Design Turned Out Like It Has?
For example: Standard design from the planner? Initially we wanted a central T-shaped staircase, but due to lack of space it became a straight cantilevered staircase.
Which requests were implemented by the architect? All
A mix of many examples from various magazines: yes, especially the one with the red V
What makes it particularly good or bad in your opinion? We took a long time, about 1.5 years, for the final planning
What Is the Most Important / Fundamental Question About the Floor Plan in 130 Characters or Less?
We would simply like to hear a third opinion again; often you don’t notice something that others see immediately.
What I also want to mention: Storage room = office and playroom but also with space for buckets, vacuum cleaner, etc.
The bathroom on the upper floor will be enlarged and child 1’s room slightly reduced.
Site plan is still to be created.

After reading the entire thread, the house simply provides too little usable space for its enormous size. And essential, absolutely necessary areas are illogically cramped.
So either 20–30 square meters smaller (with the same functionality) or more (and better) functionality.
...)I find this statement absolutely accurate and a summary of all the previous speakers.
From @tox, it is anyway just a summary of our impressions.
These are not sugar-coated words. But nobody in this forum has ever understood a hint even when it’s obvious.

I would also suggest to the original poster not to dismiss direct words as nitpicking or to misunderstand them as hostility. It can be seen as an advantage that in a forum no one gets paid and therefore no one has to try to be liked. Honesty sometimes just doesn’t sound very polite.
I also feel that, considering the large area, not much has been achieved – so the house could be smaller (and therefore more affordable) without any loss. Right now, a lot of money is being spent for little practical living space. Does it really have to be that way?

And especially with those from toxicmolotow, I would say that it is, to put it mildly, "not very wise" to just ignore them simply because they are sometimes delivered with a sharp tone.

Right now, people are paying a lot of money for very little living functionality. It doesn't have to be that way, does it? That is unlikely to change. When it comes down to the choice between sacrificing the desired staircase or trimming a bit of space in square meters, I would expect the staircase to win out.
