House Design
Planner: architect
What is not liked? The clients are currently not 100% satisfied with the front view because some parts are without windows
Preferred heating system: air / heat pump

Why is the design like it is now?
Preliminary discussion with the architect, who has already visited the plot
The large sliding window was initially planned on the south side but can also face east.
That is why no terrace is drawn in yet.
The garage roof was set lower than the house roof so that it is permitted as a boundary garage.

Now, please jump in: what would you do differently and why? What do you think is well solved?

Ground floor plan: garage for two cars, kitchen/dining/living, hallway, utility room, storage room, WC, storage.


Upper floor plan: bathroom, hallway, bedroom, walk-in closet, two children’s rooms.


West elevation of a two-story house with a gable roof, window fronts, and entrance porch.


South elevation of a two-story house with multiple windows and gable roof.


North elevation of a house with gable roof, small window, and entrance door.


Two-story house with gable roof and windows; east and south elevations labeled.

Here is 4m (13 feet) as a comparison.

Have you also hidden indirect lighting in the suspended ceiling element?

Yes, we did.

The same applies to the kitchen.

The spotlights can be dimmed in three levels using a switch.

Modern kitchen with white cabinets, black countertops, refrigerator, oven, and a plant on the windowsill.

If it's not too much trouble, could you please take some pictures showing how the activated indirect lighting looks in the room? (without spotlights)

I just got approval from my wife for the kitchen.
She didn’t want to be disturbed on the sofa!

Moderne Küche mit weißen Schränken, grauer Arbeitsfläche, Insel und Pflanze am Fenster.

Be sure to use profiles with frosted glass where the LED strips are installed. This makes the light nicely diffused! Anything else is... not ideal...
