Hello everyone,
We are quite far along in our floor plan design, so I now dare to "throw it to the pros for feedback."
Thank you in advance for your tips and suggestions!
Development Plan / Restrictions
Plot size: 843 sqm (9065 sq ft)
Slope: no
Floor area ratio
Gross floor area ratio
Building window, building line, and boundary
Edge development
Number of parking spaces: 6
Number of floors: 2
Roof type: gable roof
Architectural style: modern
Orientation: North/South
Maximum height / limits: 18 m (59 ft)
Other requirements: no geothermal probe, 3 m (10 ft) setback from boundary
Homeowners’ Requirements
Style, roof type, building type: gable roof, minimum 23 degrees
Basement, floors: yes, 2 floors
Number of people, ages: 5 (> 35, > 35, 13, 9, 2)
Room requirements on ground floor and upper floor: guest bathroom, office, kitchen, living room, dining area, utility room
Office: family use or home office? Home office and guest room
Number of overnight guests per year:
Open or closed architecture: open
Conservative or modern building style: modern
Open kitchen, cooking island: yes
Number of dining seats: 1
Fireplace: yes
Music / stereo wall: no
Balcony, roof terrace: possibly later on canopy/garage
Garage, carport: yes
Utility garden, greenhouse: raised garden beds
Other wishes / special features / daily routine, including reasons why certain options are preferred or not
House Design
Planning by: combination of DIY and architect
What do you particularly like? Why? Large children’s rooms, orientation towards the garden
What do you not like? Why? Kitchen not very large, dining area borderline too tight, but both not serious; no open space (void); stair design not ideal (straight or with landing would be better but difficult); facade facing north (street) currently doesn’t feel very harmonious
Price estimate by architect/planner: n/a
Personal budget limit for the house including fittings: n/a
Preferred heating technology: trench collector, alternatively air-to-water heat pump (groundwater protection area)
If you have to give up something, which details / expansions
- can you give up: garage could be a bit narrower
- cannot give up: children’s rooms
Why did the design turn out as it is now? For example:
Standard design from planner? Basic considerations regarding orientation towards the garden, design of children’s rooms, and experience with open living in our current home
Which wishes were implemented by the architect? Everything possible
What makes it, in your opinion, particularly good or bad? Economical reduction of walking distances, large children’s rooms
What is the most important/basic question about the floor plan in 130 characters?
Are we overlooking an important detail in the planning?

You’re right, sorry. I was convinced that on the profile on the first page there was a question "Location: CH." I was very mistaken about that. In the profile, you entered "CH" – but as I said, I didn’t check it earlier without suspicion, and now even less, since there is practically nothing left there. When I signed up, age and occupation were still visible, as well as place of residence and building location. Now there is only my federal state listed under "building location," although that’s not correct and I did not change the previously accurate information.

We don’t have any building envelope restrictions here, only setback distances and plot ratio (living space in relation to plot size). For the plot ratio, we use the less poetic term "site coverage ratio (site coverage ratio)."

If necessary, we can move the staircase a bit closer to the children's room, though that would be a shame. That’s where I would move it, about 25cm (10 inches) in my recommendation, and from my point of view it is painless for everyone involved (whether showered or bathed, the children’s room doesn’t need space for a rubber duck).

Wow, thanks!
Even though I’m really afraid to change the basics and start over, I will take a close look at your draft!
Thanks! Have you had a chance to look at the draft more closely now?

Have you taken a closer look at the design now?Yes, we have. My wife wasn’t very fond of the design. We need to speed things up now, otherwise we will lose the funding for the demolition of the old house. My wife didn’t want to reconsider her opinion at this point.
We are sticking with the original version and moving forward. Overall, the feedback was more positive than "disastrous," to put it roughly.
Thanks for your suggestion!
