Hello everyone,
I have been quietly gathering tips here for some time, and now our house construction is becoming more concrete! Therefore, I would appreciate any advice and suggestions, as we are beginners and afraid of overlooking something.
Here are the details:
Development Plan / Restrictions
Plot size: 785m² (9,121 sq.ft)
Slope: no
Floor area ratio (FAR): 0.4
Gross floor area index (GFAI): 0.6
Building envelope, building line and boundary: standard distances, see plot image
Edge development: garage will be built approximately 1m (3 ft) from the property boundary, which is allowed
Number of parking spaces: 2 per building
Number of floors: 2
Roof style: no requirement
Architectural style: no requirement
Orientation: no requirement
Maximum height / limits: max eaves height 6.5m (21 ft)
Other requirements: none
Homeowners’ Requirements
Architectural style, roof type, building type: modern, tent or hipped roof, urban villa
Basement, floors: no basement, 2 floors
Number of occupants, age: 2, both 31 years old
Space requirements on ground and upper floors: 150m² (1,615 sq.ft), large open living/dining area, guest room, 2 bathrooms
Office / home office: office space in guest room for occasional use
Overnight guests per year: rarely, only during holidays
Open or closed layout: open
Conservative or modern construction: modern
Open kitchen, kitchen island: undecided, either open or with glass sliding door, no dining table in kitchen
Number of dining seats: at least 6, extendable to 10
Fireplace: yes
Music / stereo wall: no
Balcony, roof terrace: no
Garage, carport: 1.5 garage + 1 carport
Utility garden, greenhouse: no
Other wishes / special features / daily routine, reasons why certain things should or should not be included
House Design
Who designed it: architect
What do you particularly like? Why?
- guest bathroom with shower
- large upper floor, large children’s rooms
- bedroom with walk-in closet
- covered entrance
What don’t you like? Why?
- kitchen too small
If you have to give up any features or expansions
- can give up: children’s rooms could be smaller
- cannot give up: garage, utility room, guest room
This is currently a draft plan with the window positions not yet finalized. Window positions and exterior views will be developed in the next step. The fireplace is also planned for the west wall between living and dining rooms.
I would still appreciate initial opinions and ideas on how to enlarge the kitchen. At the moment, our total area is about 152m² (1,636 sq.ft) and we do not want to go any larger overall.
Thank you very much!

Well, that was 4 years ago. And I first estimated it 8 years ago. But I can show you the invoice. However, I have to admit they wanted photos and also floor plans. They got everything... thanks to Photoshop.So, are you admitting here to tax evasion or providing false information? I would be careful! It’s clear that a hallway that’s too small is less than ideal, but everything here is just complaining at the highest level!

Only if my daughter (who I don't have) wants to move back in with me at 24 because living space is so tight and rents are so expensive. This has actually happened in my family.Then I can support her temporarily in other ways and don't have to cover the full cost of an apartment...

Yes, probably, although 2x2 meters (6.5x6.5 feet) would still be too small for me, but definitely better than the hallway shown so far.
Yes, welcome to the next decade. Sorry, no offense intended. I still have some cables here and there, but nowadays you don’t need cables for anything except maybe power. It still feels strange to me when I print something and the printer upstairs in the office spits out what I messed up downstairs.And where does the TV picture come from?
Aren’t the printer and PC connected to the network? Etc...

So, you’re admitting here to tax evasion or providing false information? Huh? Why? I’m just saying that the tax office received all the documents because I was able to print everything using Photoshop. They even came to the house and inspected the rooms. Even though there was a bed there, they accepted everything.
It’s always a matter of presentation. We negotiated with them. Since many other rooms were full of store items like shelves, they didn’t complain much about the bed. I think it’s less about proving every single centimeter. The required space was justified by substantial sales, and everything was consistent.

Aren't the printer and PC connected to the network? Etc... TV? You mean screen? So, the mentioned computer next to the bed is a notebook – fully equipped. Everything is connected to the network via Wi-Fi, including the printer. Don’t ask me how my husband manages it!

Then I can occasionally support her in other ways and don’t have to finance an entire apartment... “Occasionally” is a bit optimistic. It’s been 6 months now with no end in sight. Of course, the space happened to be available at the time. The housing shortage is a real crisis in some cities. Try finding an affordable apartment in Dresden if you don’t want to live in a shelter. With a baby, you have no chance.
But it’s obviously nonsense to plan based on that, especially when kids weren’t even planned. Unless you have the money...
