Hello everyone,

I’m happy to share my floor plan with you here. Any kind of constructive criticism or suggestions for improvement are welcome. Just a note upfront: we haven’t finalized the window positions yet.

Background: On the plot (parcel 4), this building style is mandatory as shown in the photo. That means the north side must be single-story, and the south side two-story. The boundary between the single- and two-story sections is visible on the site plan, but to summarize: the single-story part (north side) must be at least 4.75 m long (15.6 feet), only after that can the building be two-story. This also explains why the staircase needs to be positioned so prominently in the center of the house.

Now, here are the images:


Cross-section through terrain and building: terrain profile, two upper floors, roof structure, roof pitch = 10–13°.

Mandatory building style



City plan of a building area: red zones, blue building outlines, numbered parcels and VBB.

Site plan parcel 4



Floor plan of a house with living room, kitchen, bathroom, bedroom; outdoor parking with two cars.

Ground floor overall view



Floor plan of an apartment: large living room, kitchen, bathroom, two bedrooms, hallway, storage room.

Enlarged ground floor



Floor plan of an apartment with two bedrooms, bathroom, hallway and furniture.

Upper floor

As mentioned, we are open to ideas and suggestions.

Best regards

I rearranged the rooms again... unfortunately just roughly sketched by hand... and without knowledge of the building envelope or budget limits... obviously it needs refinement, but maybe it can still serve as some food for thought?
The size can certainly be adjusted somewhat...

Good night

Hello ypg, thank you very much for your active involvement! These sketches, even though only hand-drawn, are very helpful for coming up with new ideas! And even if it doesn’t work out, at least you know that you have tried all variations and still ended up with the best one in the end. I will try around again as soon as I have some time. Meanwhile, thanks again and have a nice Sunday!
