Hello everyone,
We were fortunate to be allocated a building plot and are currently working intensively on the floor plan design.
I have been following the forum for a while and have already implemented some ideas.
We are now entering the critical phase and I would like to share our planning with you. I would appreciate your feedback.
For example, would a narrow, tall window for the staircase make sense (if the door with the light strip is rotated)?
The windows at the front are rather small due to the floor plan. Do you see a better solution here? (Otherwise, it can stay as it is since we don’t spend much time there and it would mainly be for show.)
Where should the outdoor unit of the air-to-water heat pump be placed?
Development Plan / Restrictions
Plot size: 430m2 (4628 ft2)
Slope: No
Site coverage ratio: 0.8
Floor area ratio: 0.4
Building envelope, building line, and boundary: 11m x 14m (36 ft x 46 ft)
Edge development: No
Number of parking spaces: 1-2 (in front of the garage and beside the house)
Number of storeys: 2
Roof style: No restrictions
Architectural style: No restrictions
Orientation: No restrictions
Maximum heights/limits: Eave height 6m (20 ft), ridge height 11m (36 ft). Distance to neighbors 3m (10 ft), garage must be set back 5m (16 ft) to the rear. Construction beyond the building envelope with bay windows, canopies, solar panels, etc. is allowed.
Homeowners’ Requirements
Architectural style, roof type, building type: Urban villa, hipped roof
Basement, storeys: No basement, 2 storeys
Number of occupants, ages: 4-5 (34; 30; 1.5; 1.5)
Space requirements on ground and upper floors: Upper floor: 3 children’s bedrooms for future family planning
Office, family use or home office?: Guest room initially as office/hobby room, later possibly as children’s room/playroom
Guests per year: Rarely
Open or closed architecture: Open downstairs, rather closed upstairs
Traditional or modern design: Modern
Open kitchen, kitchen island: Open kitchen with island
Number of dining seats: Minimum 6, possibility for a long dining table (large family)
Fireplace: No
Music/sound wall: No
Balcony, roof terrace: No
Garage, carport: Garage
Utility garden, greenhouse: Yes (possibly at the garden shed)
Other: Storage space needed due to no basement (long garage, garden shed & utility room, unheated attic)
House Design
Planner: - Planner from a construction company & do-it-yourself
What do you especially like? Why? Lots of house on a small footprint, wishes well implemented. Floor-to-ceiling windows downstairs, only in the master bedroom upstairs.
What do you dislike? Why?: Possibly minor things we may have overlooked, optimizing windows?
Price estimate according to architect/planner: 230,000 – 240,000€
Personal price limit for the house, including fixtures: 240,000€
Preferred heating system: Air-to-water heat pump, underfloor heating
If you have to give up on certain details/finishes
-Can give up: Bathroom can be designed differently, walk-in closet
-Can’t give up: Large kitchen, dining area, three children’s bedrooms
Why is the design the way it is now?
Standard design from the planner which we optimized with other plans from the internet.
Thank you very much

I consider these "wardrobe as a substitute for a wall" ideas very questionable in terms of sound insulation. It depends on the purpose of the partition: for a more visual separation (with an open passage), it works well; but if the goal is not to disturb someone still sleeping when every morning all the blouses are taken out for a fashion show, of course this is not suitable.

Between bedroom – children’s room or children’s room – children’s room, I also find that questionable. This suggestion is probably not intended for that, although a meter of clothing is not a bad sound insulator – unless one child plays unusual notes and the other prefers to be passively unmusical.
