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

pagoni202017 Sep 2021 10:47I don’t think there would be any strange reactions, at least not from serious users. However, I also understand why you don’t want to post pictures, since you wouldn’t want something finished to be criticized here.
I’ve already mentioned here that I find it absolutely inappropriate to nitpick something the original poster has already built. That only creates a bad atmosphere.
I believe it’s fine, even necessary, to have lively discussions BEFORE building, but not afterward.
Ultimately, I understand that you are happy with your result, and that’s what matters. In that, you’re even ahead of many others!
Well... we also tried the approaches mentioned, as they usually work well in life. But on this construction site, it didn’t go as smoothly. However, we have made good progress now and will be moving in soon, even though it will still be a construction site.
Yes, feel free to get in touch sometime; just send me a private message.

neo-sciliar17 Sep 2021 10:53@pagoni2020 Attached is a photo showing the utility openings in front of the house. We are planning to move in by the end of the year. Unfortunately, I am not allowed to send private messages.
@11ant now you don’t even have to take a walk to satisfy your curiosity.
And yes, we really like it, but we also know that it’s a matter of personal taste.

pagoni202017 Sep 2021 10:56That looks really stylish, to be honest. I like it a lot!!!
I think he has a point about not showing it. Not as a general rule, but in this specific case: in my opinion, for a Stommel house, the "dislike" comments would outweigh the "like" comments here.
[while I’m writing this, the picture of his house just appeared]
... so I’ll take that back immediately: this will be seen here as a "Swedish house in sky blue" and actually has a good chance of being well received!
Then you would need to write, for example, under "Information" in your own profile where an alternative web-based private message can be sent or something similar.

Bertram10017 Sep 2021 11:09I really like the house. 🙂 I would love to live in it.
I really like it too, partly because it’s similar to our building method, because it has COLOR, and finally it’s a different house design. Nice.
Are there any pictures of the interior as well?
My dream is also to have a veranda that you can walk all around and sit outside, no matter if it’s raining.
