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!!

The plot isn’t bad at all. We have a plot with a 30 m (98 feet) long driveway; others have 15 m (49 feet) by 20 m (66 feet).
It’s just not that simple. So a north-facing garden isn’t that bad.
You could create a slightly longer path leading away from the house and place a brick pavilion with a barbecue area and garden shed further back. That way, you’d have a south-facing garden—something like this:

I think the layout is good, especially regarding the positioning of the rooms. Having the terrace directly adjacent to the house is a wonderful spot, at least during midsummer. The terrace should get the last evening sun when north is exactly at a 90° angle at the top. Also, I don’t think you really need such a large terrace facing south.
That said, I would tend to place the utility room (HAR) in the upper right corner towards the north, and the kitchen, dining, and living areas on the left, west side of the house. This also allows both children’s bedrooms on the upper floor to be oriented towards the south.

The plot is really great... (ours is similar.) The layout, roughly like BeHaElja’s, is already quite good. I would also plan the home office at the front right and the utility room at the back right. The entrance would be on the right side, so on the narrow side facing the front. There are plenty of nice floor plans for that online....
What are his reasons for the rejection? It would have a wonderful southwest orientation, making it a bright, great room. And with @BeHaElJa’s layout, the living room wouldn’t be facing the street:
There should be at least 12 to 13 m (39 to 43 feet) of distance to the street. Some people would be happy to have that much garden behind their house.

How do you manage to create these graphics so quickly?? *Jealous* oops:
What I forgot to mention about the outdoor area:
We are planning trench collectors for the brine heat pump and need a small biological wastewater treatment system (as required by regulations).
@kbt09
There’s no way through. I tried to explain it to him. But if he’s not happy with it, there’s no point. He should feel comfortable in the home.
Maybe the architect will have something to say about it.
