Hello dear community,
We are planning to build a single-family house next year and believe we are ready to have a permit plan created.
The plot is 21m (69 feet) wide and 31m (102 feet) long.
The groundwater level is very high, so no basement.
The zoning regulations require both the house and the garage to have a gable roof.
The garden is located to the north behind the house; we deliberately placed the terrace on the north(west) side because we both prefer not to be exposed to the sun for long periods.
25 cm (10 inches) bricks + 20 cm (8 inches) insulation.
The house will be heated with geothermal energy (KNV Topline 1145) using a trench collector system.
The garage will be built without a door, essentially as a carport, allowing side access to the main entrance.
The roof above the mechanical room (in the attic) will simply be extended.
The guest toilet/bathroom on the ground floor will partially fit under the staircase.
Zoning restrictions/requirements: gable roof, eave height 5m (16 feet)
Plot size: 650 m² (7,000 sq ft)
Slope: no
Floor area ratio: 0.3
Building envelope, building line and boundary: 3m (10 feet), garage recessed 5m (16 feet)
Edge development: my "garage" adjacent to existing neighbor’s garage
Number of stories: 2
Roof style: gable roof
Architectural style: rather modern
Orientation: south-facing if possible
Maximum heights/limits: 5m (16 feet) eave height/roof edge
Homeowner requirements
No basement (due to high groundwater)
2 people (planning for 4)
Office: only intended as a storage room/guest room, for future needs
House design
Who designed it:
I designed it myself
We planned the kitchen in the “niche” so it is not the center of the room when entering and because it faces the street, letting us follow what is happening outside a bit.
The living room is on the darker north side since light from the south or west can be distracting when watching TV on the couch (as it is currently).
Thanks in advance,
Christian

Here is my current bedroom; I even made the bed especially So? Do you want it like this again now?That is 21 cm (8 inches) more than 326 cm (128 inches), although 326 cm (128 inches) refers only to the shell dimension.
Additionally, the room is only 336 cm (132 inches) deep. The door at the top of the plan would probably extend about 90 cm (35 inches) into the room, and a 180 cm (71 inch) bed with frame would leave only about 50 cm (20 inches) of space against the wall at the bottom of the plan… which is simply not desirable.
Also, swapping the toilet and shower likely wouldn’t work well. That would probably make the room windowless, or do you want to dry a window after every shower? And placing the toilet under the stairs doesn’t eliminate the need for proper headroom to get up there comfortably. Overall, the only way to determine what is feasible at what height and location is a correct stair section drawing.

zuluindia20 Apr 2017 10:35As mentioned, your comments should help improve the plan or identify any mistakes. I can still make changes, and in the end, a good planner will also have the opportunity to get the best results.
I hope this is not misunderstood—I am truly grateful for the time and advice everyone has given me so far; it has already helped me move forward.
I will upload an updated plan on Saturday, which should look better in some areas.
Yes, the lower bathroom would not have a window, but thanks to the controlled mechanical ventilation system, the extraction should still be sufficient.

Honestly, yes.Fascinating. No, seriously. An 11m² (118 sq ft) bedroom—no one plans that. And if they do, they’re either single and want to stay that way or very short.Similar topics
