House Design
Planned by:
- Architect, floor plan originated from the house builder, modified according to our ideas.
What do you particularly like? Why? Layout of the ground floor, orientation, kitchen possibly different
What do you not like? Still undecided whether the kitchen should be closed off with a sliding door or more open.
In the bathroom, a strip of windows on the eaves side between the bathtub and shower is planned.
Possibly an additional window in each children’s room on the eaves sides.
Price estimate according to architect/planner: 340,000 including incidental building costs
Personal price limit for the house, including fittings: 375,000
Preferred heating system: Air-to-water heat pump, possibly expandable with photovoltaic

Yes, for the most part.Well then, you’re allowed to operate the washing machine in a room without a window as well.No, seriously, a room without a window is like a basement hole. Just the idea of being able to get out of the room in an emergency if the door is locked would make me refuse to build without a window.
What kind of unusual room dimensions and wall thicknesses are these, and what materials is the house supposed to be built from?

hampshire8 Dec 2019 16:54I quite like the side entrance. If there are steps leading into the house, the route from the nicely designed "bike room" to the street would be impractically blocked (red arrow in the attached, somewhat messy drawing). In that case, I would prefer a ramp instead. With the correct slope, it can connect smoothly and safely to the parking space.
You can create more space on the ground floor by leaving out some walls. If you want the staircase area to be closed off, consider a glass sliding door in front of it (see sketch).
The need for natural light seems to vary. For me, the rooms might be too dark, but others may appreciate the cozy, cave-like feeling—the living area offers this perfectly. It’s really a matter of personal taste.
Tip: Consider high ceilings and pay attention to room acoustics.
