Hello everyone,
We are going to build an end-of-terrace house together with a general contractor and have, of course, already planned the floor plans and thought them through accordingly.
The plot measures 10 x 21m (33 x 69 ft), and as currently planned, the maximum available space has been used up, leaving us with enough room for the garden.
On the ground floor, the staircase will be closed off at the bottom and then used as additional storage for drinks or cleaning supplies. The utility connections will also be located in the cloakroom—my wife wanted a separate room so that shoes and jackets don’t always clutter the hallway.
From November, we will be four people, so we have decided to live together on one floor (the upper floor) with our two very small children, as it is simply more practical. A requirement for our master bedroom was the possibility to place a wardrobe 3m (10 ft) wide. However, we are still not completely satisfied with the layout of the upper floor, although we cannot think of any alternatives. The bathroom should stay the same size.
The attic will include a guest room, which will mainly serve as a playroom for the children and me. A large dormer will be added there. Later, one of the older children could move up there, and the two children's bedrooms on the upper floor would be combined into one large room. We both need a home office, so it is designed somewhat larger.
We intentionally moved the technical equipment to the attic because we are building without a basement, which would have meant placing it on the ground floor. That would have significantly reduced the available space there. We will also use this area for the washing machine and dryer, as well as an additional storage room.
Additionally, we will have a converted loft with a height of 1.36m (4 ft 6 in) as extra storage space.
I look forward to your suggestions.

Where is north?
Is there a building envelope / building plot?
Are the house length and distance to the street fixed? The terrace faces exactly west, the front door is on the east side, and the side parking space is on the south.
We have to maintain at least 2.60 m (8.5 ft) distance to the street; we will probably make it three meters (about 10 ft). On the side, we have about 2.95 m (9.7 ft) to the neighboring property line, which we will also keep. That leaves us approximately 8 by 10 meters (26 by 33 ft) for the garden. Part of that will be terrace, and the rest garden.

However, it would have cost us at least €80,000Is this estimate still current (I’m thinking about your concerns regarding the underpinning costs)? I’m having trouble believing that figure since we’re only talking about 70 sqm (750 sq ft) of floor area. Is the ground that difficult?kbt09 schrieb:
What about the other half of the house?That’s the middle house, where the new landbuyer still hasn’t decided whether to build with or without a basement.https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

So, there is no mandatory building window? What about the other half of the house? What is to the left on the plan, meaning to the south adjacent to your property?
With the current design, I’m afraid the ground floor will be quite dark.The other half of the house has not been sold yet. To the left on the plan, after our parking spaces, there are the parking spaces for another corner house in a different housing group.
Since we have a four-meter (13 feet) wide lift-and-slide door in the living room and a floor-to-ceiling window to the left of the kitchen, there is not much space left for additional windows, and we think this is sufficient.

Is the ground that difficult? We were offered a basic basement for 45k, with disposal costs calculated at around 30 €/ton (clay), so disposal alone would be approximately 15–20k. Then there are costs for new materials as well as screed, floor and wall coverings, etc. That brings the total to about 80k, maybe just 75k. I have also received offers for a prefabricated basement from Glatthaar for 70k – but without earthworks.
The underpinning costs have to be paid by the neighbor later – this does not concern us. The more important question is whether we have to agree to the underpinning or not.
Regarding the staircase in the hallway: I would change the direction of the staircase, so it goes up counterclockwise instead of clockwise. Then extend the hallway wall toward the kitchen and position the living room door level with the stairwell opening. Just like that, the staircase landing is in the hallway without losing space. A storage room under the stairs accessible from the living room. The hallway becomes a bit longer as a result. However, I believe this makes sense with two children.
