Development Plan/Restrictions
Plot size: 900 m² (0.22 acres)
Terrain: mid-slope location
Site coverage ratio: same as neighboring buildings
Floor area ratio: same as neighboring buildings
Building envelope, building line, and boundary: same as neighboring buildings
Edge development: no
Number of parking spaces: 2
Number of floors: 2
Roof type: same as neighboring buildings, no flat roof
Architectural style: same as neighboring buildings
Orientation
Maximum height/limits
Additional requirements: same as neighboring buildings
Homeowner Requirements
Architectural style, roof type, building type: bungalow with hip roof
Basement, floors: bungalow with basement
Number of occupants, ages: 2 (32 and 40)
Space requirements on ground floor: bathroom, guest toilet, living room and kitchen, bedroom, office, dressing room
Basement: double garage, guest room, bathroom with sauna, utility room, technical room
Office: home office
Number of overnight guests per year: 5-7
Open or closed architecture: open
Conservative or modern design: mix
Open kitchen, kitchen island: yes
Number of dining seats: 6
Fireplace: yes
Music/stereo wall
Balcony, roof terrace: no
Garage, carport: double garage
Vegetable garden, greenhouse: no
Additional wishes/details/routine, including reasons why certain elements are preferred or avoided
House Design
Planning by:
- Do-it-Yourself
What do you especially like? Why? Living and dining area, bright and open
What do you dislike? Why? Stairs location and design of stair access
Cost estimate according to architect/planner:
Personal budget limit for house, including fixtures:
Preferred heating system: geothermal with deep drilling
If you have to compromise, on which details or features
- can you compromise:
- cannot compromise:
Why does the design look as it does now? For example, room sizes were implemented as planned. All rooms and their dimensions were taken into account.
Drawback: location and design of stair access and stairs
What is the key/basic question about the floor plan summarized in 130 characters?
We are not satisfied with the placement of the stair access combined with the guest toilet. We are flexible with the stair design. Basically, we want to minimize living area lost to hallways/stairs.
Does anyone have advice on how to solve this problem?
Additional suggestions and comments are very welcome!
Thank you very much!

@ypg *pat* Actually, I was just about to say that views, especially of the ground slope, would be quite helpful. The builder here in the forum always has the responsibility to provide information.

I would start over, reorganize, and reconsider this “from the garage into the basement” concept. Do you really find the floor plan that bad? I am thinking about placing the entrance on the east side and reorganizing everything. I am open to any suggestions.

Will an architect still be involved? Of course, an architect will be involved. I would like to get rough quotes from various companies first based on my draft.

You google floor plans. Or check Pinterest. Danwood also has very nice houses for inspiration We have done all of that, several times a day

With the elevation data, I still can’t imagine how the driveway with garage to the basement level is supposed to work, while at the same time having a ground-level exit from the main floor. I will take photos of the neighboring house; that will probably make it clearer.

Elevations, especially showing the ground slope, would be really helpful. I will take more photos over the weekend. Promise!

Do you really think the floor plan is that bad? Before commenting, I prefer to wait in order to provide constructive feedback, ideally after having more clarity about the surrounding conditions.

They will all be removed when it’s drier. I would consider that a huge mistake. Trees are simply too valuable (climate regulation, shade, noise, privacy, and wind protection) to cut down even one unnecessarily. Cutting them down is quick, but it can take half a lifetime or more to fix the consequences.
