Hello everyone,
We are currently in the planning phase for a new build and are currently favoring the following floor plans:
I look forward to your opinions and suggestions.
Development plan/restrictions: no relevant restrictions for our project
Plot size: 638 sqm (6867 sq ft)
Town villa with hipped roof: 2 full stories plus basement, terrace side with bay window
Number of occupants: 2 plus 1–2 in the future
Office in the basement: home office plus occasional client meetings
Overnight guests per year: approx. 5–10
Open architecture
Modern construction
Open kitchen
Fireplace: built-in masonry stove; considering a water-bearing fireplace
Garage: double garage with hipped roof style directly attached to the house
Entrance side = street side, entrance with canopy in hipped roof style
Solid construction without ventilation system
Planning by:
- Planner from a construction company based on our requirements
What we like particularly: large living/dining area and spacious bedrooms
What we dislike: the small office/storage room on the ground floor without windows
Preferred heating system: air-to-water heat pump + underfloor heating + fireplace,
also considering switching to a gas heating system.
Additionally, we are uncertain whether to use 36.5cm (14.4 inches) bricks with a U-value of 0.23 or 36.5cm (14.4 inches) bricks with integrated insulation (U-value 0.18) — are the additional costs worthwhile?
Is it worth installing a water-bearing fireplace?

How is the house supposed to fit on the plot? Defining the orientations as north, south, etc., makes no sense here, unless the house is positioned at an angle on the plot. In that case, the statement "entrance facing the street" would be incorrect.
Feel free to disregard my comments in this thread.

The exterior landscaping is not included and will be done later as a DIY project.
Interior finishing and attic conversion will be carried out as a DIY project.
Garage and additional construction costs are included.
Why should we paint the basement and the garage?
The only part we might skip is the bay window and instead install a ventilation system.

You can feel free to remove my comments in this thread.Light green = street: this means that when standing on the street, the front door is in view.
For us, the orientations were clear enough to understand how the house is positioned.
So, the south-facing side should actually be labeled as southwest-facing, etc.

Materials for self-performed work still cost money. Landscaping done by yourself is not free of charge
Do you have a quote for the excavation work including disposal?
Half a basement is useless. An office in the basement is suboptimal, especially since almost every week someone has to pass through your living area

I personally don’t like the ground floor at all, as has already been mentioned several times (kitchen, bay window, unnecessary space, etc.).
I’m not an expert on this, but RFB 2.75 meters (9 feet) on the upper floor? How thick will your ceiling/floor between the ground and upper floor be? With RFB 0.00 meters (0 feet) on the ground floor, there won’t be much clear ceiling height, or am I missing something?

750k just for the house? No, we are at 450k, but with own work done on the interior finishing.No, that was a minimum amount for all-inclusive, whereby the plot of land can also be significantly more expensive. Or do you already own it?Similar topics
