Floor area ratio 0.8
Building zone, building line and boundary 3 m (10 ft)
Edge development limited to garages and carports only
Number of parking spaces 2
Maximum number of floors 2
Roof pitch 0–48 degrees
Architectural style single-family house
Orientation
Maximum height restrictions 6 m (20 ft) wall height, 9 m (30 ft) total height

Guest bedrooms per year
Open or closed layout open
Traditional or modern construction open
Open kitchen, kitchen island open kitchen
Number of dining seats 1
Fireplace no
Music/sound wall no
Balcony, roof terrace no
Garage, carport yes
Utility garden, greenhouse possible
Other wishes / special features / daily routine, also reasons why certain things are or aren’t desired
House Design
Who created the design:
- Planner from a construction company / adapted production house design
What do you particularly like? Why? Large utility room with separate door (mudroom), large pantry
What do you dislike? Why?
Estimated price according to architect/planner: 400,000
Personal price limit for the house, including fittings: 400,000
Preferred heating system: air heat pump
If you had to give up on certain features or extensions
- Could do without: pantry, separate door utility room
- Cannot do without: guest WC with shower
Why is the design like it is? Example:
Standard design from planner adapted for a large utility room
So, it is a standard design customized to our wishes.
We have a dog and want to have two children. The house should suit this and not be too large. We can work from home, and if having children doesn’t work out, the office rooms will be used or only one office. If children do come, working in the small nook upstairs is planned.
Alternatively, a garden house may be built for occasional home office use. Otherwise, I commute to work.
I look forward to your opinions and possible improvement suggestions.
It is plot no. 9 (corner)

Hello, may I ask which construction company is handling the project?
I find it surprising that the walls are drawn as 30cm (12 inches) thick, but I don’t want to confuse you.
The most important thing: the staircase seems quite short to me, but it’s livable.
There is no cloakroom! No closet to store clothing for four people year-round.
What some see as a desired mudroom, I consider the biggest planning mistake for a room that, in addition to 12 feet/paws and the technical equipment, is also meant to be used for laundry. You’d have to do a lot of washing twice.
My first thought was: get rid of the pantry! However, if the pantry is used as a utility room, including laundry, it might work out well.
The kitchen furnishings need adjustment: the counter is too narrow and also too long. The passage becomes very narrow, so you’d constantly bump into the corner.
Just a quick note on that.

First of all, I must praise the exemplary presentation of how the house fits into the plot. Unfortunately, some dimension lines are cut off in the floor plans. What kind of production house is this, which appears to have been modified mainly in terms of the utility room? Please provide the manufacturer and model. A 30 cm (12 inch) exterior wall might still be reasonable; for example, it could be Town & Country. However, I find the exclusively lightweight interior walls on the ground floor (only 6 cm (2.4 inch) thick) quite unusual, as well as the installation wall that is the depth of a cabinet. To me, a production house should be a proven design that has already made many buyers happy.

These are modular houses built using solid concrete construction. Even more models have appeared on the website now. The floor plans are fairly fixed because the module with the installation wall must always be in this position, with the guest toilet behind it (according to the advisor); otherwise, the walls are basically movable. The upper floor consists entirely of lightweight partition walls.

There is no wardrobe! No closet to store clothes for 4 people for the whole year.I was actually thinking of a wardrobe underneath the stairs. Here is a photo from a recently built house. You can build something useful underneath, can’t you?
In the pantry, the washing machine and dryer. Is that compatible? Or should I remove the wall between the pantry and the utility room entirely?
What do you mean by washing twice? The large utility room is built for that purpose, right? Dirty clothes go straight into the washing machine and that’s it. Take off your shoes there and the hallway stays clean.
