Hello everyone,
I would appreciate your feedback on the floor plans.
Development Plan / Restrictions:
· Plot size: 1,200 m² (18 m (59 inches) wide)
· Slope: south-facing hill, street to the north
· Site coverage ratio: 0.3
· Floor area ratio: 0.6
· Building envelope, building line, and boundary: see "enlarged building envelope" 12 x 14 m (39 x 46 feet)
· Edge development: garages
· Number of parking spaces: 3 required according to building authority
· Construction type: open building layout
· Building setback: 3 m (10 feet)
· Roof type: pitched roofs 15-30°, hipped roofs to be avoided, see regulations
· Orientation: ridge direction of the buildings parallel to each other
· Exterior design: see section 6 of the regulations
Homeowners’ Requirements
Preliminary: The homeowners (born 1982 male, 1988 female, and two children born 2014 female, 2016 male) want to live on two floors (basement and ground floor). A third children’s bedroom should also be included. The third floor (attic) should be accessible barrier-free.
· Style: Bauhaus (optionally exposed concrete)
· Roof design: large south-facing side (for solar panels, photovoltaics)
· Building type: two-family house
· Basement and floors: basement, ground floor, attic
· Number of occupants and ages as above: (2 + 3 in basement and ground floor, 2 + 1 in attic)
o Space requirements attic: 2 bedrooms, 1 flexible floor plan bathroom, open living/dining/kitchen area, utility room
o Space requirements ground floor: 1 master bedroom, walk-in closet, master bathroom, large open living/dining/kitchen area, wardrobe, storage room
o Space requirements basement: 3 children’s bedrooms, children’s bathroom, optional play corridor, boiler room, cellar, utility room
· Open or closed architecture: open
· Conservative or modern construction: modern
· Kitchen: open kitchen with island (at least on ground floor)
· Balcony, roof terrace: likely sensible on all three floors considering exposed concrete
· Parking spaces: carports if possible, which can later be converted into garages (initial cost saving)
· Heating/thermal technology: air-to-water heat pump (underfloor heating), optional photovoltaics
· Windows: large window areas on the south side, optionally wide, low windows above the kitchen worktop on the ground floor
· Energy efficiency: KfW 55 standard
· High sound insulation (especially for the ceiling of the attic, separate residential unit)

PS: The earthworks contractor moved the excavator yesterday. I hope it doesn’t start moving on its own.

sichtbeton8220 Feb 2019 07:30I always get a bit nervous when I’m over 1 meter (3 feet) high. Climbing down a ladder takes a lot of courage from me. Even ten horses wouldn’t be able to get me into the excavator.
The concrete walls have been installed. It’s a pity that these are load-bearing walls. Otherwise, we would have left the concrete surface as is (without plaster, wallpaper, or anything else).

Will insulation be added on top?
Our concrete wall on the hillside side was insulated from the inside.
That sounds familiar. I don’t think I would have gone down into the excavation pit.
The plasterers specifically installed a mobile staircase for me, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to ventilate during the screed drying process. I can’t reach another floor using a ladder.

sichtbeton8222 Feb 2019 06:44Insulation will be added later! First, for example, a black primer layer to adhere the insulation. For the exterior insulation, 120mm (5 inches) extruded polystyrene rigid foam boards.
The soundproofing plans for the outdoor staircase are now also finished. Soon, the access via ladder will no longer be necessary.
