Hello dear forum community,
we are planning to build for the second time. The first time, five years ago, we built 175 sqm (1885 sq ft). Now we are moving and want to start the adventure again.
We have already looked at several options and have decided on this design. We are a family of six. Now we would like to hear what others think, because after about the tenth change, you don’t see everything so clearly anymore. The windows in this design are also not yet exactly how we want them and are currently being adjusted by the draftsman, but overall, it fits quite well.
It will be a KfW 55 standard house, equipped with an air-to-water heat pump (geothermal energy is not possible due to the water protection zone, and there is no gas supply in the building area), as well as photovoltaics with a storage system, a central ventilation system, and possibly a hydronic fireplace (wood or pellets).
We are curious and wish you all a happy Easter.

You won’t really be able to make full use of the southwest side... the sidewalk starts just 3m (10 feet) away. Finding the right location is really challenging. In my version 3, I solved this by designing a long driveway so the house can be positioned further toward the northeast.
The rough structural width of 98cm (39 inches) at the top of the stairs quickly becomes 95cm (37 inches) or less in reality... Then you also need railings on both sides of the stairs to prevent falls. Although in version 3, the stair exit area ended up quite tight as well.

Good morning,
There are two designs from different companies, and the room layouts differ somewhat.
A masonry balustrade will surround the staircase, and the attic will have a railing.
We want to use the plot towards the back because there is a large open area there up to the next house.
Our current house has the same orientation as the design before it was mirrored, and we are completely satisfied with that. We are definitely not sun worshippers, and we don’t want that summer heat in the rooms. The older girls want rooms with sunlight, and they will get them.
It’s true that no one is home on weekday mornings, but on weekends when everyone is together, you can have breakfast on a sunny terrace, and in the afternoon, you can have sunshine in the living room. I assume the other rooms are not dark.
For us, the main entrance belongs at the front; we simply don’t like it on the side.
So many factors come into play with a house like this; I think you can’t have everything and have to decide what is most important for you.

Is the zigzag pattern in the parent area really intentional? I would move the bathtub upward and place the bathroom entrance opposite the passage to the bedroom; this would make the layout more harmonious and easier to navigate. It would also be practical to have a door from the hallway directly into the living room, so you don’t always have to take the long way through the dining room and kitchen. The wardrobe area will be dark and cramped. The chimney flue in the children’s room fits well too. The room divider will surely be appreciated.
