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

Bertram10030 Jul 2020 09:17You have an 18m² (194 ft²) hallway? What are you planning to do with it?
If the furniture layout and dimensions were included in a plan, that would be really helpful.

At first glance, I like it much better already. The window arrangement in the living-dining area and the bathroom door leading to the utility room are worth reconsidering. I would place the door closer to the walk-in closet, perhaps as a sliding door? What are the advantages of sliding doors? I have never understood that.... I think relocating the door is a good idea.
There are already windows in the living room. In the dining area, we face west directly toward the neighboring house, which is only 2 x 3 meters (6.5 x 10 feet) away. That’s why there is no window there. This area will be built without an upper floor or raised roof ridge. To ensure light comes in, large glass panels will be installed in the gable area of the dining room and living room. This cannot be shown in the software.
