ᐅ Floor Plan – Urban Villa 160 sqm

Me too! However, I do not fear what kbt09 fears; I believe the room cannot be furnished satisfactorily (sofa/TV arrangement) with the fireplace.

Here are our ideas for the furniture layout (some pieces are already owned). The fireplace should be integrated into a wall that also includes shelving for firewood.

Are the sofas really that small? And yes, regarding the living space, it’s pretty much what I had feared. When you look at it, you basically see three rooms, nicely separated: living, dining, and kitchen. The passageways are quite narrow, for example the one from the kitchen between the dining table and sofa to the terrace. On the left side of the plan, there could be fixed glazing right behind the sofa, because you wouldn’t really be able to get through an expensive sliding door there anymore. Personally, I would find it annoying that the main seating area on the sofa is fully visible from the front door.

The kitchen door swing looks somehow wrong… as I said, I would install a sliding door running along the hallway. Only one tall cabinet in the kitchen?

Also, I think the staircase is very tight and quite steep for a clear ceiling height of 270 cm (8 ft 10 in), meaning a floor-to-floor height of about 309 cm (10 ft 2 in) according to the section.

The bathroom window seems too small to me, and it also looks inconsistent in the front view.

Best regards,

I had the same question about drainage, etc.:

https://www.hausbau-forum.de/threads/Entwässerung-Bad-og-bezüglich-wc-und-dusche.17234/

At that time, it was said that several meters to the downpipe are not a problem?

And slope according to DIN: 0.5cm per meter = 0.5 percent.
(Well, that was my input. But nobody disagreed either )

I would lead the wastewater towards the utility room and then via downpipe under the foundation slab and then away from the house!? A downpipe in the utility room, possibly concealed, doesn’t really cause any issues!?

Coffee grinders are square or nearly square.

The staircase is specified with a rise of 19.2.

The rough construction width of the bedroom is 3.52m (about 11.5 feet), which might be a bit tight or maybe not. There would be about 3.49m (11.45 feet) after plastering if everything fits, and with a bed 2.10m (6 feet 11 inches) wide (including frame), 69.5cm (27 inches) remain on each side.

The space for a passageway to the right of the dining table and behind that space for a cabinet (how much space do you need in front of it up to the chairs? At least 1 meter (3.3 feet) to open the cabinet and still stand far enough away).

At the moment, I really don’t see any storage space. There is no basement. OK. There is a carport, no garage. OK. But the utility room is obviously very small and the laundry room upstairs =>!?

Where will laundry be collected, sorted, hung up (or is EVERYTHING supposed to go into the dryer all year round? Especially with controlled ventilation systems, you can hang laundry indoors year-round. And as far as I know, not everything should go into the dryer if you want to keep it in good condition...).

Bicycles, garden furniture, grill, sun umbrellas, supplies, crates of beer, water crates, wine bottles, other drinks, ride-on toys, seasonal items (Easter, Christmas, Carnival, Halloween, as well as summer and winter clothes, sleds, summer water toys, …). Drying rack for items that cannot or should not go in the dryer. Dollhouse, garden tools, space for ironing, space for sorting laundry, toolbox, drill, old school items from the children. The fuse box is not marked either. Also, many pipes run through the utility room. Water connection (pressure reducer, fine filter, meter), gas, electricity and telecom all need space. Media server? Patch panel? Occasionally used kitchen appliances. Inline skates. Ski equipment.

Not that all of this necessarily applies, but you know how garages look nowadays in new residential areas or how eventually a second garden shed gets built...

Especially regarding the garden, there is a lot more to consider if you didn’t have a garden before. Surely there is also a lot of children’s garden toys you don’t want left outside in storms, hail, frost, or snow.

I’m not saying: don’t build a basement. But, do make a storage plan for the things you have and possibly could have in the future.

Are barrier-free showers planned without a shower enclosure? If yes, the walls are too short to provide splash protection.

@Grym: many of the items will probably end up in the attic. The garden tools will then go to the shed.

Level-access showers, yes, but with doors in both bathrooms.
