Hello everyone,
I would like to share our nearly finished design here.
Feel free to share any thoughts, what you like or don’t like.
Primarily, I want to discuss the window arrangement on the ground floor. I have slightly adjusted the drawing and added our current furniture. Specifically, the position of the rear east-facing window and the dining table placement bother me. I would especially appreciate feedback on these points.
A few notes:
North is always at the top (so some drawings appear upside down).
1_Location:
- Neighbor to the west is far from the boundary (8m (26 feet))
- Small forest area to the east
- Railway track directly behind our property to the south (6 regional trains per hour)
- Gardens of houses on a northern street to the north
- The street is a dead end and ends just behind our plot (red marking)
- Driveway (3x6m (10x20 feet)), house access (1x5m (3x16 feet)), terrace (4x5m (13x16 feet)) not shown
2_Basement: no changes planned
K1 = Party/hobby/fitness room
K2 = Storage
K3 = Guest room (sloped ceiling/daylight window)
HA = House utilities, gas heating unit, controlled ventilation with heat recovery, washer & dryer
3_Ground floor: potential changes in green
- Front door recessed by 50cm (20 inches)
- Cloakroom and storage shifted from side by side to front to back (not precisely drawn)
- Chimney projection extended slightly so the refrigerator doesn’t stick out
- Window by the sofa will be a fixed, 2.00m (6 feet 7 inches) wide element
- Next to it a lift-and-slide door / PSKT, 2.00m (6 feet 7 inches) wide
- East side at the dining table we want a 1.50m (5 feet) fixed window element; we’re unsure where to place it best, maybe more to the north?
- Dining table shown as 1.00x1.70m (3x5 feet 7 inches) - uncertain about the optimal position
4_Upper floor: no changes planned
- Special feature: separate kids’ bathroom
- We know the wardrobes in the children’s rooms are incorrectly shown
5_Section: no comments
6_Front to rear (vo_hi): windows revised
Front view: window heights in the office and guest WC aligned
Rear view: enlarged window surfaces on ground floor
7_Side to side (re_li): windows revised
Left: floor-to-ceiling element, which is still a concern; kitchen window height adjusted
Right: no comments
That’s the main things on our mind.
Lastly, here is the info list:

The storage room should be 90 cm (35 inches) wide inside; as mentioned, it’s not 100% accurate and drawn too narrow. How is that supposed to work? There are 130 cm (51 inches) available there... a 90 cm (35 inches) storage closet in a narrow layout, about 11 cm (4.3 inches) wall thickness, leaves less than 30 cm (12 inches) depth for the wardrobe niche.
In the kitchen, I see an area of about 3 x 2 m (10 x 6.5 ft) drawn, which probably includes a tall cabinet and a corner, but there isn’t much space left for the kitchen itself, especially for storage.

The children's bathroom has a depth of 1.70 m (5.6 feet) excluding the shower recess, and at 50 cm (20 inches) from the wall, the ceiling height is already 2 meters (6.6 feet). A depth of 1.7 m (5.6 feet) actually doesn’t seem possible. If you subtract the exterior walls (2 x 0.40 m / 1.3 feet) from the total width of 6.50 m (21.3 feet), along with bedroom 1 at 3.20 m (10.5 feet), the partition wall between bedrooms 1 and 2 at 0.11 m (4.3 inches), the chimney about 0.30 m (12 inches), the door including frame at 0.85 m (33 inches), and the partition wall to the bathroom, then the remaining width for the children’s bathroom is a maximum of 1.13 m (3.7 feet).
With a ceiling height of 2.48 m (8.1 feet) and a roof pitch of approximately 45°, the sloped ceiling would end at about 1 m (3.3 feet) room depth. This means that most of the room must be under the sloped roof. I don’t dispute that you can stand there at a height of about 1.8 m (5.9 feet) up to approximately 40 cm (16 inches) from the wall.

Bauher10103 Feb 2016 09:01Hello,
the dimensions in the upper floor plan are incorrect. It is highly recommended to recalculate everything!
Upper floor width for the children's rooms is 6.50 meters (21 feet 4 inches). Upper floor width for the bathroom/parents' bedroom is 7.30 meters (24 feet).
