House Design
Designer:
- Architect
What do you especially like? Why?
Our wish was a straight staircase; the design covers the required room program; the children have their own domain including a children’s bathroom.
What do you dislike? Why?
Overall satisfied except maybe the somewhat small master bathroom. We would be very thankful for your feedback here. Is it possible to implement the T-shape in about 11 sqm (118 sq ft)?
Cost estimate according to architect/planner: 430,000 (cost group 300 + 400)
Personal price limit for the house, including fittings: 500,000
Preferred heating system: air-to-water heat pump
If you had to give up something, which details/extensions
- could you give up: ???
- could you not give up: straight staircase, basement, children’s bathroom, T-shape in master bathroom
What is the most important/basic question about the floor plan in 130 characters?
Any major flaws? Is the master bathroom large enough?
We are looking forward to your replies!
Good luck

I don’t like the things mentioned either. I would keep the terrace by the kitchen and the path to the pantry short. I would question the use of a windbreak and the entrance area as well. The bathroom next to the bedroom also needs reconsideration, especially why this layout is a T-shape. We had this discussion here recently. Exact quote: definitely a T, now it’s going to be an L 😉
