Clients’ Requirements
Style, Roof Type, Building Type:
We envision an urban villa (hip roof)
with 2 full stories plus a fully finished basement.
Number of Occupants, Age: 2 people (25 years + 26 years) + later 2-3 children
On the ground floor there is a cloakroom niche with a door leading to the double garage. A guest bathroom with shower, as well as a multipurpose room (office, storage, possibly guest room) are also planned. The kitchen features a cooking island and is connected to a pantry with a window. We would like to be able to separate the planned dining area from the living area with a sliding door as needed. We are wondering if this is technically possible. The dining area is designed for 8 people. The fireplace is to be placed between the dining and living areas, though we are not fully satisfied with its current position in the existing plan.
On the upper floor is the master bedroom (oriented away from the busy street to the south so that morning sunlight shines into the bedroom). The walk-in closet is accessible from the hallway as we prefer no door from the bedroom itself to avoid disturbance if one partner is still sleeping. Additionally, there are two children’s bedrooms of approximately equal size and a home office. The balcony extends across the entire south side, allowing theoretical access from child’s room 2, the office, and the bathroom. The planned bathroom includes a double sink, shower, bathtub, and toilet. We are having some concerns about the bathroom door…
In the basement, there is space planned for a utility room with washing machine and dryer. A wellness room with sauna is also included. Further rooms in the basement are planned for the heating system and a workbench.
We would like a productive garden with raised beds but are still unsure where exactly to place it.
House Design
Who designed the plan:
Modified prefab house floor plan with our own room layout and arrangement
What do you like most? Why?
We especially like the large, bright, partly open dining and living area. The rooms and their arrangement are perfectly tailored to our needs.
What do you like least? Why?
- Cloakroom with 1 m (3 ft 3 in) width may be too narrow.
- Pantry narrows too much; however, we do not want to give up the window.
- Fireplace location may still be optimized.
- Living space still open; sliding door between dining and living area desired.
- Bathroom door on upper floor problematic.
- Window in the walk-in closet.
Estimated Price According to Architect/Planner: 450,000€
Personal Price Limit for the House, Including Fixtures: 450,000€
Preferred Heating Technology: District heating/gas/air source heat pump, possibly supplemented by a ventilation system with heat recovery, as well as photovoltaic and solar thermal systems.
If you have to compromise, on which details/extensions
-can you compromise: sauna, bay window, tiled stove installed later
-cannot compromise: /
Why is the design as it is now?
We have given a lot of thought, drew many different plans and discarded them, and step by step reached this result.
What is the most important / fundamental question about the floor plan summarized in 130 characters?
How can the bathroom door on the first floor be better planned?
Is a sliding door between dining and living area feasible?
Is the pantry’s narrow end reasonable?
Is the layout functional?
Is the 1 m (3 ft 3 in) cloakroom too narrow?
Alternative spot for the fireplace?
Change window in walk-in closet?
Thank you in advance for your effort and support. The more often you look at your own plan, the more you become “blind” to details. We are therefore grateful that outsiders can now take an objective look and share their opinions.

No, a chimney is not a wall, even less a load-bearing one, and it should be isolated from the rest to avoid sound transmission. It is placed next to a wall. Nothing more. It does not replace a wall.Well, we have it inside the wall on the upper floor. But the main thing is the size is getting smaller first.

Full width? Seriously? I would reconsider that. First, I don’t think it would look attractive but rather bulky; second, in the house you usually only use the balcony to air out the beds and otherwise prefer to go out into the garden; and third, you would be shading your living room.Exactly, usually just above the bay window is enough and looks better.https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/
