__Markus__27 Nov 2016 19:27Hello everyone
I want to build a residential house on the formerly agricultural plot owned by my parents. The concept is "Practical and Good." I have attached the initial architectural design and would really appreciate your feedback.
At the moment, I am unsure about some technical questions. Ventilation: yes or no? (The architect says that a ventilation system is not needed for a masonry house.) Underfloor heating or ceiling heating? (The architect prefers ceiling heating, while the heating engineer recommends underfloor heating.)

It works. At least for the ground floor. I would miss space for a proper wardrobe closet. I don’t like the elevations because of the window arrangement. There are too many sizes used: a simple small window comes in six different sizes...
Why have a laundry chute through a floor?
Are you staying as a couple? Then there should be enough space upstairs for laundry.
Otherwise, I also have questions about the plot and the upper floor 🙂

Thank you for your comments. I have added the upper floor to this post and also indicated the orientation on each plan. All plans, except the overview plan, are oriented to the north.
Yes, a building has to be demolished.

What exactly is being demolished here:
Otherwise, I don’t quite understand where the new house is supposed to be built.
Together with the window next to the front door, the niche intended for the wardrobe isn’t really practical:
Why is the sofa placed so far to the right of the plan? And why is it positioned fully in front of the floor-to-ceiling window (sliding door?)?
The kitchen layout is not supposed to be like this, right?
I would make the window in the storage room narrower, so that cabinets with a depth of 60cm (24 inches) can fit along the bottom of the plan.
Bathroom on the upper floor with 13 sqm (140 sq ft) and no bathtub? I would skip the access from the dressing room and instead access the bedroom through the dressing room. Although having the bedroom facing south is also something to consider.
Why are the children's rooms so differently sized?
