Hello everyone,
We are currently planning a new construction project in Bornhöved and would like to gather your unfiltered opinions. Attached is the completed questionnaire.
Development Plan / Restrictions
Plot size: 723 m² (7,784 sq ft)
Slope: No
Site coverage ratio: 0.25
Floor area ratio:
Building window, building line, and boundary: see drawing
Edge development: With ancillary facilities yes, max. 9 m (30 ft)
Number of parking spaces: 2
Number of floors: Open design
Roof shape: Open design
Style: Open design
Orientation: Open design
Maximum height/limits: 9 m (30 ft)
Other requirements
Client Requirements
Style, roof shape, building type: Gable roof with captain’s gable
Basement, floors:
Number of people, ages: 4 people, 2 adults (32) and 2 children (0 and 3 years)
Space requirements on ground floor, upper floor: 3 bedrooms on the upper floor
Office: Family use or home office? No office planned at the moment
Guest stays per year: 1–2, no guest room required
Open or closed architecture: Semi-open → Planned double sliding door between kitchen and living/dining area
Conservative or modern design: Conservative
Open kitchen, kitchen island: Yes
Number of dining places: Dining room, breakfast bar at kitchen island
Fireplace: Yes
Music/sound wall: No
Balcony, rooftop terrace: No
Garage, carport: Double garage
Utility garden, greenhouse: No
Other wishes/particulars/daily routine, reasons for or against certain features: Sliding door from kitchen to dining room to close off the kitchen if needed (e.g., at Christmas) while eating.
House Design
Who designed the plan:
- Do-it-Yourself
What do you particularly like? Why? Gallery in the stairwell, which creates more space and brightness in the hallway below. Tiled walk-in showers, no more cleaning windows
What do you dislike? Why? Position of the chimney flue in the hallway downstairs
Price estimate according to architect/planner:
Personal price limit for the house including fittings:
Preferred heating system: Gas with solar thermal for domestic hot water, underfloor heating
If you had to give up details/extensions:
- Can you give up:
- Cannot give up: The gallery has already become quite fixed
Why is the design the way it is now?
A mix of many examples
What do you think makes it particularly good or bad?
Pleasant size of utility room, garage, and bedrooms. We also like that there is always another room between the children’s rooms and the master bedroom.
Improvement needed is the orientation, since the garage is located in the southeast and sunlight reaches the living area relatively late.
What is the most important/basic question about the floor plan summarized in 130 characters?
How can the floor plan be optimized in terms of sun orientation and placement of the chimney flue?

boxandroof12 Mar 2019 21:24Upper floor:
I would try to design the bedroom with its own door (a niche into the bathroom or similar) so that a 2m (6.6 ft) wardrobe could fit there if needed, allowing the dressing room to be used as a separate room if required. I would leave out floor-to-ceiling windows in the dressing room.
If the bathroom stays the same or similar, I would recommend installing additional washer and dryer connections directly behind the door.
Double casement windows, especially in the bedroom, are not necessary; consider external shading for the south-facing side. In our similar upper floor, we do not have a single double casement window.
Ground floor:
I would enlarge the living area at the expense of the hallway and bathroom.
I think the orientation is good.

I have made some adjustments using the online editor.
Basically, I like the T-shaped layout (toilet/shower) in the upstairs bathroom. However, I have not yet found a good solution for routing the wastewater pipes (shower, toilet, sink) through the utility room without having them run completely across the ceiling. To work around the 2 m (6.5 ft) height limit, I built a wall about 2 m (6.5 ft) tall. Behind it, a small storage recess could potentially be created. The line shown marks where the full ceiling height begins.
Do you have any ideas or suggestions on this?

I would swap the kitchen and living area. Sitting in the open corner at the back is uncomfortable anyway. The kitchen fits much better there. At the back, in the separate lounge, it’s cozy instead. While the children do their homework at the dining table and dad cooks, the stressed mother can relax on the sofa. 😉

Ideally, the drain pipe is installed along the outer wall inside the utility room. Along, not inside.
The supply and drainage pipes are laid below the screed.
Planning the location of the electrical cabinet won’t help either.
Please leave that to the professionals.
Your drawing can certainly serve as a sketch for the architect, who will then handle the technical details.

How can the drain pipes in the middle of the utility room be avoided going through the bathroom above? I don’t see where the concern comes from that pipes would have to be placed in the middle. That aside...
