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)

sichtbeton821 Jul 2019 11:50Many thanks for your feedback! The pool is now planned for Terrace 2. The landscape gardener has arrived and is working from the lower side (the valley side). We reached an agreement with a (non-adjacent) neighbor. We want to get rid of about 300m³ (390 cubic yards) of rubble, and he can make use of it...
Since the last posts in mid-May, not much has happened, partly due to the holidays. The structural builder has completed the backfilling in front of the house and the exterior stairs. The roof frame is now finished, the tiles were delivered today, and the roof will be covered by the end of this week. The electrician has started work, plumbing begins tomorrow, and the small windows and doors will arrive this week. The large south-facing windows are expected in two weeks.
The shell construction has also been inspected. There were only a few items on the punch list. They have really done an excellent job!
Now we need to accelerate the pace. The apartment lease ends at the end of November. This will be a busy phase, especially with the three little ones (5 years, 3 years, 1 month).

sichtbeton825 Jul 2019 06:45The roof is now mostly covered. The tiles for the snow guards were missing. These will be replaced later, and the opening will be closed. The next step will be the flat roof waterproofing (for the balconies and terrace). This is a critical task that will hopefully be closely monitored by many attentive eyes. However, part of the scaffolding must be removed first.
The manifold for the ground collector has also been installed, and the pipe from the heat pump to that point has been laid. Tomorrow, I can weld the joints. After the rainwater filter, valves will also be installed. This will allow controlling whether the water goes to the pool, irrigation, or infiltration. The infiltration is carried out using drainage pipes above the ground collector. This way, the collector receives additional energy during the cold season, as water is rarely needed in the pool then.
