Hello everyone!
We would be very grateful to receive feedback on our current floor plan and site planning progress.
We are a family of four with two children aged 4 and 7. We are building in a rural area.
Additionally, a sliding door will be installed between the kitchen and the living area.
Development Plan / Restrictions
Plot size: 672m2 (7228 sq ft)
No slope
Building zone, building line, and boundaries: no defined building zone
Maximum perimeter development: 9m (30 ft)
Number of parking spaces: 2
Maximum number of floors: 2
Roof pitch: at least 18 degrees
Architectural style: free choice
Orientation: north - south
Maximum heights / limits: none specified
Other requirements: none specified
Client Requirements
Country house style
1.5 stories, no basement
4 people: ages 30, 27, 7, 4
Office: for family use
Maximum overnight guests: mainly friends of the children
Enclosed architecture
Conservative construction method
Dining seats: 6
Carport
House Design
Designer: planner from a construction company
What do you particularly like? Why? Flexibility in the living area (with the sliding door), equally sized children's rooms, spacious hallway on the upper floor for a reading corner
What do you not like? Why? Possibly the children's rooms are too small? Utility room too small?
Price estimate according to architect/planner: 202,000
Personal price limit for the house, including fittings: 230,000
Preferred heating system: underfloor heating
If you had to give up something, which features or extensions could you do without?
- Could give up: bay window
- Could not give up: front gable
Why did the design turn out the way it did? For example:
Standard design from the planner? Standard as a basis but slightly adjusted.
What makes it particularly good or bad in your opinion? Despite the relatively small space, everyone finds their place and everything has been considered.
Thank you very much

Into the kitchen?Oh, sorry. I meant the wall facing the office.

Oh, sorry. I meant the wall next to the office.Yes, then it’s best to rearrange the furniture right away and replace the patio doors in the living room with windows. I would leave out that storage thing under the stairs. You need that space under the stairs for a coat rack area. Putting another cabinet in front of it won’t work because the hallway is too narrow, and just a few hooks won’t be enough for four people.

In the end, we’re looking at 165m² (1,776 sq ft) and with everything included, we are well below the commonly seen €2000/m² (about $180/sq ft) plus additional building costs here. A low-cost building area, organizing trades yourself, a lot of DIY, and some personal connections can definitely make that work.

In the end, we’re looking at 165 sqm (1,776 sq ft) and with everything included, we’re well below the commonly seen €2000/sqm (around $210/sq ft) plus additional construction costs here. An affordable building area, organizing the trades yourself, doing a lot of the work personally, and some help through contacts all make it possible. By the way, here the benchmark is around €1500 per sqm (about $157/sq ft), so in our area. We are only leaving out the flooring. My uncle is a tiler and my best friend is a parquet installer. Floors are purchased at cost price. The bathrooms will also be done by my uncle himself.
