Floor area ratio:no specification
Building envelope, building line and boundary:see development plan
Edge development:no
Number of parking spaces:2
Number of floors:no specification
Roof type:gable roof
Architectural style:no specification
Orientation:ridge East - West
Maximum heights / limits:single-level house 6.20m (20 ft); two-story house 10.20m (33.5 ft)
greened garage / carport
Homeowners’ Requirements
Architectural style, roof type, building type: pragmatic and modern
Basement, number of floors:no basement
Number of people, ages:5 (2x35, 6, 3, 0)
Room requirements on ground floor, upper floor:living/dining area 30–35m² (320–375 sq ft), upper floor 3 children’s rooms each from 14m² (150 sq ft)
Office: family use or home office?:family use + 1 day per week home office + possibly later second home office space

Additional wishes / special features / daily routine, preferably also reasons why certain things should or should not be included
Living/dining area with sun from morning until evening; large wardrobe/shoe cabinet in the entrance area; dry access from the car to the house; bicycle access even if car is in the carport without path through garden; storage space for children’s items (not permanent; only for currently unused clothes, toys); utility room with enough space for drying clothes (2 drying racks or similar);
House Design
Designer: planner from a construction company
What do you particularly like? Why?All requirements fulfilled. Nice parents’ area in the attic. Utility room on upper floor where laundry is generated.
What don’t you like? Why?Large hallway on upper floor → “waste of space?”; view straight through the house when front door is open → woman in the house feels “uncomfortable”;
Estimated cost according to architect/planner:€410,000
Preferred heating technology:gas (gas available in street) + solar domestic hot water or air-to-water heat pump
If you have to give up, which details / features
-can you give up:guest room; shower on ground floor
-cannot give up:office;
Why did the design develop like it is now? Floor plan proposal by us with room allocation to floors; based on this, planner developed the design. Third iteration
What is the most important / basic question about the floor plan in 130 characters?
Is another staircase design possible that reduces the hallway area on the upper floor and “improves” the ground floor?
Best regards

Is it possible to have a different staircase design that reduces the hallway space on the upper floor and “improves” it on the ground floor? In connection with little or no knee wall, I don’t see a staircase closer to the eaves—unless it runs differently between the upper and attic floors than between the ground and upper floors.

martin.hbf3 Jan 2018 18:26Hello 11ant,
Understood. In our previous attempts to implement a different staircase design, we did not find a solution that also meets our other conditions (number of rooms on the upper floor and attic; dining room not directly facing the street). At least with the straight staircase, there is a solution at all.
We will look into your suggestion regarding different staircase designs.

We will look into the suggestion regarding different staircase designs. But probably without success. Due to headroom requirements, it would only be possible in ways that would require more floor space—or at least would not save any.https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/
