Hello everyone,
Until now, I have mostly been a silent reader, but I would like to share our current planning for feedback—both positive and negative.
Attached are a plot plan (with the house footprint of the planned development), the floor plans (ground floor + upper floor), and the elevations.
The TV is supposed to be on the wall in the living room facing the office (currently shown incorrectly).
Unfortunately, the sloping ceilings on the upper floor are not consistently drawn. However, as the rooms are planned to be quite spacious (especially the children’s rooms), this should not cause any issues.
Additionally, two roof windows are missing from the elevations. Roof windows are planned both above the staircase and in the small room labeled “Behandlung” (treatment) for natural lighting.
Thank you in advance. I will try to answer any questions that arise as quickly as possible.
Development plan / restrictions:
There is no formal development plan. The construction must fit into the existing development according to §32. According to the building authority, we are allowed to build to a depth of about 32m (105 feet) parallel to the street. Boundary building for the double garage is planned.
Plot size: approx. 1000 sqm (10,764 sq ft)
Homeowners’ requirements:
Gable roof, no bay windows, dormers, or similar features.
No basement, 1.5 stories, knee wall height 1.00m (3.3 feet)
Currently 2 occupants, hopefully 4 in the future
Fireplace planned in the living room (to be loaded from the hallway)
Double garage with access to the house through the utility room
No dressing room, no children’s bathroom desired
Office to be used regularly as a home office
The “Behandlung” (treatment) room should provide storage space and also the possibility of treatment of family members/friends (physiotherapy)

I don't think the bathroom layout on the upper floor is 100% ideal; placing the toilet on the external wall with the downpipe shouldn’t be done!? Could you please explain this in more detail?
I can’t think of any reason for it.

How is the driveway to the garage planned? If I understand the site plan correctly, you would have to reverse from the lower street into the yard to drive forward into the garage. Or you drive forward into the yard and then reverse into the garage.
The yard seems too narrow to drive forward into the yard and then curve right into the garage.Thank you for the comment. We will mark the property lines over the weekend and check if the space is sufficient. If necessary, the garage door would have to be at the front, but we do not find that very appealing. However, it would significantly reduce the required size of the yard.

Am I right in understanding that the kitchen and garage face south, and the living and dining areas face north??Yes, that is correct. The garage is planned along the right boundary because the neighbor’s (rather unattractive) garage is also built on the boundary there. We deliberately chose the kitchen location because it is where people spend more time during the day and we prefer it facing the street.
In my opinion, the windows are a bit too compressed. There is no large window front to enjoy the view of the garden – which is a real pity given the large plot of land that could be transformed into a beautiful garden. I would definitely make the windows wider in the attic as well. The north-facing rooms will be far too dark.
