Hello everyone,
First of all: Yesterday, we received our initial draft from a partner architect of a timber house construction company. He said that due to the sloped site, we would need 1 1/2 to 2 basement levels to build the timber house on. Meanwhile, we spoke with another timber house company, who, during an on-site meeting together with our excavator contractor, suggested a design with only one basement level. If that works out, the granny flat would be removed.
Unfortunately, the north arrow was drawn incorrectly on the house plans, but it is correct on the site plan.

Price estimate according to architect/planner: offer in progress
Personal price limit for the house, including fixtures: 450,000–490,000 EUR
Preferred heating technology: heat pump
If you had to give up, which details/extensions
- could you do without:
- couldn’t do without:
Why did the design turn out the way it did? For example:
Standard design from the planner?
Which requests were implemented by the architect? Open living area, bay window
A mix of many examples from various magazines…
What do you consider especially good or bad about it? Took 2 months for this draft (currently still in the free quotation phase)

Is there no way to install the door from the hallway, basically underneath the staircase?It seems to me that you not only miscalculated the headroom but also overlooked that the staircase already comes up from the lower floors (?)
