Hello

I am new to this forum and still finding my way around.
Since we have our first consultation appointment on Monday (with a prefabricated house company), I would like to ask you already for some help and advice.
Development Plan / Restrictions
Plot size – 2493 sqm (about 26,819 sq ft)
Single-story with additional half-floor
Number of parking spaces – 2
Number of floors – 1.5
Roof type – 25° (degree) gable roof
We checked with the municipality – there is no formal development plan for our community.
Client Requirements
External vestibule at the entrance
No basement, ground floor + upper floor with 2 m (6.6 ft) knee wall height
Number of occupants, age: 2 adults, 1 child (about 5 years old at move-in)
Space needed on ground floor and upper floor: approximately 70–80 sqm (750–860 sq ft) each
Office: family use, possibly guest room
Guests per year: many friends across Germany, so frequent visitors expected
Closed architectural style
Conservative building method
Kitchen without island, with sliding door to the living/dining area
Around 6–10 dining seats (extendable dining table planned)
Carport eventually, but not at the time of house construction

House Design
Who designed it:
- We spent a long time thinking about floor plans and then found THE floor plan for us on a blog (Traum-vom-Eigenheim --> Draft 3/Finish) – THANKS unknown Jenny & Tilo!!!!

What we especially like:
- Separate entrances to kitchen and living/dining area
- Office/guest room, kitchen, living/dining area, and WC/shower on the ground floor = potentially age-appropriate
- Efficient use of living space
- Storage room in the upper floor, since there is no basement

Personal budget limit for the house, including equipment: €250,000

Preferred heating technology:
Air-to-water heat pump with controlled ventilation
We still need to look into heating systems in more detail

We are looking forward to your suggestions.
Unfortunately, I have to stop now, as our little daughter has woken up well-rested.

Thank you for reading!!

We are currently building with Hanse Haus as well and are working on optimizing the floor plan… we are building the Variant House 25-165…

Good luck ☺

@ Bmich@el:
We are very satisfied so far – communication is excellent.
We have already been to Oberleichtersbach three times, including the sample center (we took lots of photos). It’s very interesting, and I definitely recommend doing a preliminary selection before you get to the more detailed choices. Bad Brückenau is easy to reach via the A7 motorway.
Wishing you much success as well. Maybe we can keep in touch.

We visited the factory two weeks ago when the new model house was set up and examined everything, including the preliminary selections.

@ Bauexperte:
The utility room is intended to house the washing machine, dryer, a chest freezer (100x60cm (39x24 inches)), and the heating system. That space should be sufficient, right? Everything else would go into the storage area under the stairs and the storage room upstairs.
The utility connections are delivered up to the first wall, which means it makes sense to bring them into the house through the utility room.

Unfortunately, you didn’t provide the room dimensions, so I estimated 2.65 m (8.7 feet) in length and 2.00 m (6.6 feet) in width. I placed the freezer, dryer, and washing machine along one wall – so that wall is already occupied; there will also be some laundry detergent and clothes collecting in the room. Assuming the utility connections enter at the front, all the technical equipment would need to be placed on the opposite side. That will be tight, especially if you want to have the domestic hot water supply stored separately in a tank. A properly usable utility room, also allowing space for future maintenance, should be planned with at least 8.00 sqm (86 sq ft).

Regards, Bauexperte

Hello

I would like to ask for your help and advice again.

So far, I really like the floor plan—except for the kitchen, which is too small at 8.66 m² (93 sq ft). It should be partially separated from the living and dining area by a sliding door.
Do you have any ideas on how to make it larger?

Today, I visited a kitchen showroom to get a better sense of the size and potential layout.

Best regards

Is there a basement? Otherwise, the utility room might be a bit tight.
There is quite a lot of circulation space, and the hallway on the ground floor might be somewhat dark.
I find the walk-in closet design rather poor.
If you don’t plan to sit in the kitchen, it’s actually okay.
Otherwise, it’s quite alright.
