Hello 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.)

Marvinius27 Nov 2016 23:07There is nothing wrong with having a secondary entrance to the utility room or storage closet if these are located on the ground floor north side, right? This should also match the site plan (garage on the north side).
In any case, the straight staircase can only be positioned in this orientation on the floor plan.

@Marvinius .. take a look at the site plan. What would be the point of placing the main entrance on the east side, which is at the bottom of the plan?

@__Markus__ ... now I can also see the demolition sketch ... but is the long building on the north side staying? (by the way, you can rotate and save images by 90° in the image viewer 😉 ).

@ypg .. Yvonne .. not everyone is online all the time 😉, sometimes you need to think things through first. So, it’s quite normal if 24 or even 48 hours go by.What do you think, Kerstin?
I mainly want to know from the original poster whether the house is designed for 2 or 4 people.
