Dear forum,
we are starting a new project with a semi-detached house and have already purchased a suitable small plot of land for it.
We have gone into more detail with the architect during the preliminary building inquiry for the design options and would appreciate any feedback on the two planned variants.
Client requirements
Style, roof type, building type – Modern, flat roof, semi-detached house
Basement, floors – Basement / ground floor / first floor / penthouse level
Number of occupants – currently 2
Open or closed architecture – open
Conservative or modern design – modern
Open kitchen, kitchen island – an open-plan kitchen with a freestanding island + L-shape
Number of dining seats – 6
Fireplace – yes (possibly gas fireplace)
Music/stereo wall – yes, at least 2 meters (6.5 feet) wide
Balcony, roof terrace – penthouse level with roof terrace
Garage, carport – carport
Utility garden, greenhouse – garden as shown in the floor plan
House design
Who is responsible for the design: architect
What do you not like? You will surely tell me 🙂
What is the most important/fundamental floor plan question in 130 characters?
The semi-detached house will be built on a relatively small plot (540 square meters (6,000 square feet)). Therefore, the possibilities are quite limited.
A large living, dining, and kitchen area with the freestanding island mentioned above was important to us, but still divided into different “zones”. Also, privacy from the neighboring house.
So far, we are very satisfied with the designs.
However, I would like to position the kitchen island crosswise. This would mean losing some space on the left and right. In addition, a back kitchen unit under the window facing the street. This would naturally no longer be floor-to-ceiling but adjacent to the kitchen unit.
Furthermore, we do not yet have a free wall for TV, etc. Appliances in front of the window are not preferred.
The following furniture should fit here:
An L-shaped kitchen with a freestanding kitchen island (At the moment we have an island with the following dimensions:
Back kitchen unit 3 meters (10 feet) wide / peninsula 2.10m x 1.17m (6.9 feet x 3.85 feet)
A dining table 2m x 1m (6.5 feet x 3.3 feet)
An L-shaped sofa 3m x 1.90m (10 feet x 6.2 feet) on the longest side
A lowboard for TV / sound system approx. 2 meters (6.5 feet) wide
I welcome any suggestions for improvement and am already excited...
Best regards!

No, I see that as an entry point when prioritizing the start of construction. A buyer can also be found simultaneously. But that doesn’t have to be the primary goal. A mistaken conclusion would be to assume that a buyer must necessarily be sought from the start (or worse: that this should slow down the process), which would be a misunderstanding of my point.

So for me, what advantages does a builder acting as the construction manager for the second half have? I thought we all know these here: https://www.hausbau-forum.de/threads/reihenendhaus-mit-gue-in-eigenregie-bauen.31198/

No matter how nice the neighbor looks, you can’t see the habit of loudly celebrating every car race with friends or the tendency to hoard. You’re not looking for a spouse or roommate, after all. It can always happen that you don’t like your neighbor’s appearance or lifestyle. (see Kati with her single-family house)

So for me, what are the advantages for a builder acting as a general contractor for the second half? That’s not necessary... there’s still a lot of time until then... by that point, the general contractor will already have the architect’s services notarized – then it just takes an advertisement on a classifieds site. After that, the half inside can be adjusted a bit to suit the interested parties, and that’s it.
Regarding the floor plan
Please draw all desired/present furniture in your half of the floor plan.
I prefer option 1.
The cloakroom is missing on the ground floor.
On the upper floor, I would remove the small open space above the study. I’m concerned it may be too small.
Attic
The idea of the whirlpool sounds good. Make sure the structural support is planned for it if this is desired/feasible. Where will the wardrobes be located in the attic?
Having a bathroom with a bathtub would not be a luxury.
I like the different attic layouts.

@11ant Of course, I am familiar with that case. However, it does not explain the advantages of having disability insurance. Single-family house, and the problem does not occur.
Where does the next development begin behind the southeast terrace?
If the buildings there are tall, the terrace will become shaded.

However, this does not explain the advantages of presenting as a building unit.So, if I assume as a given that this will result in reintroducing the unused land parcel to the market, then the interim enhancement of this surplus area with suitable development is a smart move because 1. all complications caused by phased construction at the boundary line are eliminated
2. you don’t have another two years of construction right next door after your own half is finished
3. it prevents the creation of a “McMansion Hell” effect arising from the interaction of the two halves.
