ᐅ Floor Plan for Urban Villa, 162 m²

Hello everyone,

My wife and I are considering building a house. After a lot of back and forth, we have at least agreed on a floor plan.

What do you think of this floor plan? Do you have any suggestions for improvement?

We are still unsure about the exact height and width the windows should be.

The floor plan was created using the online program Floorplanner.

Best regards,
D.Gerner

Is this intended to be a two-story building? I’m missing the roof pitches on the upper floor, and given the projections in the exterior walls, I assume it might be either a Frisian or gable house. So, I think you haven’t planned any roof slopes at all.

From what you’ve written, it also seems like there isn’t a lot of information about the plot.

Unfortunately, I have to say: don’t waste your time, because a house and its architectural style depend on the zoning plan or building regulations for the plot. Additionally, the designs should take into account the neighboring buildings, orientation (cardinal directions), as well as any vegetation and views.

The ground floor is generally suitable for living, but the enclosed utility room on the upper floor would not be practical at all.

Regards,
Yvonne

Hello, is there a plot of land for the house? If not, the discussion can end here. The location of the plot and the house on it, as well as the site access, have a significant impact on the floor plan.

Hello Bob,
we are currently looking for a suitable plot of land where development is allowed according to Section 34.
It’s not exactly easy, but you can still find vacant lots where building is possible.
We are from the Gummersbach district.

I would plan to add extra windows in the living and dining area.

Hello YPG,
yes, it will be a two-story townhouse.
Regarding the utility room: my wife prefers not to carry the laundry basket up and down the stairs.
That’s why we included it on the upper floor.
