We are currently considering building a single-family home with 4-5 children's rooms and are looking for well-thought-out floor plans. Unfortunately, we have not yet found any floor plans that meet our wishes, building regulations, and budget all at once.
We are grateful for any tips and also welcome advice regarding individual rooms.
Development Plan / Restrictions
Plot size 2,000 sqm (0.5 acres)
No slope
Building area approximately 14x14 meters (46x46 feet), plus garage possible
Number of parking spaces 2
Number of floors 1 full floor
Roof type gable roof
Builder’s Requirements
Style, roof shape, building type
Frisian house, country house, single-family home, gable roof
Basement, floors no basement, 1 full floor or 1.5 floors
Number of occupants, ages 6 people: 48, 38, 7, 5, 3, 0
Space requirement ground floor, upper floor? Possibly 220 sqm (2,368 sq ft)
Office: family use or home office both, one study on the ground floor would be great
Guest stays per year rarely overnight guests
Open or closed layout open
Open kitchen, kitchen island open kitchen
Number of dining seats 8
Fireplace no
Music/sound wall no
Balcony, roof terrace no
Garage, carport double garage with storage room
Utility garden, greenhouse no
Additional wishes/special features/daily routine
We might need an additional children's room. Therefore, a guest room should be able to be converted into a children’s room if needed.
Two shower bathrooms plus a guest toilet would be desirable.
Since we plan to build without a basement for cost reasons, there should be a pantry next to the kitchen. The utility room (HWT) must not be too small; we have two washing machines plus a dryer. We have two very large beds that ideally should be in one shared bedroom (3.25 m and 2 m) (10.7 ft and 6.6 ft). The entrance area must have space for a bench, shoes, and coats for 6-7 people.
Financially probably not feasible anymore, but a "children’s living room" and a covered terrace would be great.
We were offered a plot of land at very short notice, which is really a stroke of luck in the current times. As you can probably tell, we have not dealt with the topic of new construction at all so far and unfortunately now have to decide very quickly whether this project is feasible for us.
About the finances:
The plot costs 210,000 plus acquisition incidental costs.
For additional costs for the house including incidental construction costs, outdoor facilities, etc., in other words really "all-in," we can afford/finance a maximum of 610,000. The plot is fully developed.
We are now looking for a smart floor plan that will enable us to build a new house within our means.

We currently live in an older building with a converted attic, offering about 165 m² (1776 sq ft) of space, plus a basement. We might consider an extension since we are missing two rooms, but the house layout has become very inconvenient for us, with a very narrow entrance area and many long, narrow corridors. Perhaps you should – whether just to support the discussion or to help brainstorm ideas for an extension – share some photos or plans of the existing house.

Hanse has one design option that fits our floor plan really well. Gussek Haus doesn’t have anything suitable. There would be so much customizing required there that it might not even be worth it. In my opinion, a hypothetical comparison between equally sized Viebrockhaus and Gussek Haus models is probably less biased than a comparison between Viebrockhaus and Hanse.

Yes, I am waiting until everything is fully compiled. The building specifications and service descriptions are too different. The key comparison will be of the descriptions after any additions or changes. And yes, it’s best to compare offers for the exact house model you have requested.
One more suggestion: you might consider dividing the children’s bedrooms by function, such as sleeping and playing; then in the shared children’s bedroom, each child has their own bed for sleeping together, and they take turns spending a week sleeping alone in the guest room.

Maybe it was simply due to the Delta scope of work description and my sister’s specific requests. My brother-in-law is quite particular.
You have a new kitchen in your house. Should it be included or replaced with a new one?
Show us your current house and what extensions are still possible.

I will look for the plans. The special aspect here is that we are in an outer zone and require a special permit due to specific landscape protection regulations. We would probably receive this permit because of the number of family members, but building freely is definitely not an option. Most likely, we are only allowed to build on a technically very unfavorable side.
I will check this informally with the building authority first. Any considerations before that don’t really make sense.
