Hello everyone,

We have a plot of land (see site plan) and have started planning our dream house without an architect. Before we move forward in more detail, it would be great to receive opinions, ideas, and perspectives.

On the floor plan, you can see an electrical transformer to the east. It is quite tall and does not provide a pleasant view. Therefore, the utility room is planned here, separated from the house with access to the "breakfast terrace."

We are planning with the future in mind. This means we want all the essential living spaces on one level. Upstairs is for the children and grandchildren when they visit, as well as hobby rooms, an office, etc. The area above the living room is open. Downstairs, it is important for us to have separate areas. The kitchen/dining and living rooms should not be an open, connected space. We often have guests while others want to watch a movie in peace.

We welcome any extraordinary ideas. The house should be unique. But we also appreciate advice on realistic feasibility.

The house will be built as a timber frame house.

The building plan allows for few restrictions. The building envelope is shown on the drawing.

Thank you and best regards,
Andreas

That can be changed easily. It is also easy to modify the design so that the children's bathroom has a window.

Thank you all.

A question: When calculating the living space, are all rooms included (including hallways, utility rooms, storage rooms), meaning the entire floor area, or are purely “circulation areas” excluded?

There is a DIN standard for calculating living space. However, most of the time people probably mean the calculation according to the Living Space Ordinance (Wohnflächenverordnung).

As far as I know, there is the Wohnflächenverordnung (Living Space Ordinance), which is important for rentals, and the calculation according to DIN 277. Just google it; you’ll find information on what you can include in your calculations.

Arrgh – too late

I was not referring to rental, but to the flat construction cost estimate of 2000€ per square meter.

That makes no difference here.
