Client Requirements
Style, roof type, building type: modern
Basement, storeys: fully basemented
Number of occupants, age: 3
Room requirements: living-dining-kitchen, bedroom 1, bedroom 2, bathroom, guest bathroom, entrance
Office: none
Number of guests per year: 10
Open or closed architecture:
Conservative or modern construction: modern
Open kitchen, kitchen island: yes

Utility garden, greenhouse: no
House Design
Planner: myself
What do you like most? Why?: direct access from dining and living area to the south-facing terrace
What do you dislike? Why?: distance to garage entrance, bathroom layout, ...
Cost estimate by architect/planner: 330,000 € including exterior works and kitchen
Personal budget limit for house, including fittings: 550,000 €
Preferred heating system: gas
If you have to compromise, on which details/features
-can you compromise on: size of bedroom 1
-can you not compromise on: large open dining and living area directly connected to the south terrace
Why does the design look as it does now?
For example:
I started with the buildable house geometry, how the house can or must be positioned on the plot so that the terrace faces south. A large dining and living area directly opens onto the terrace. The corridor must lead into the center of the large room.
What is the most important/fundamental question about the floor plan summarized in 130 characters?
What would you change and why? Do you see any deal-breakers? Are there other house geometries that would make sense? (The building authority does not allow exceptions at the boundaries.)
Many thanks in advance and best regards

2D would really be nice
That arch has something special. I almost find it a shame that it’s being broken up and divided into several rooms. Hello,
what could be placed in such an arch?
Also considering the north side and the street-facing side.
I’ll have to create a 2D plan tonight ;D
Best regards and many thanks

I find the design too complicated. Every saved centimeter on the south garden side is paid for by an impractical volume along the northern building boundary.
The staircase might not work well like this.
If you want to enforce the quarter circle in the design: then build it fully rounded, as an open-plan room on the ground floor, and place an open spiral staircase concentrically at the imagined center.
Or: alternatively, save a lot of money by building a rectangular volume of 11x10m (or whatever the maximum limits are). That’s probably what I would do.Hello,
Thanks a lot, the question is really what the centimeter on the south side is worth.
Yes, the staircase definitely needs to be optimized. Do you have any ideas for me? Wider away from the wall? I have 18/20, is that feasible?
Here we go:
Thanks and best regards

Check out the series "Grand Designs"—there are plenty of interesting projects on tight spaces. Of course, building practices differ in the UK, but the creativity is impressive, as is the willingness of the clients to make compromises. They knowingly accept a disadvantage to gain an advantage. Often, attempts to consider every detail and make everything perfect end up being either very dull and soulless or very expensive.
The volume can become a true beauty with an asymmetrically curved wall on one side. Everyone says you can’t possibly add a ‘nose’ to a leg. In Picasso’s case, that’s "Cubism." I like the courage to use curves—start getting used to custom-made furniture.
You have to experiment with the staircase somehow, I think. Its shape can also turn out brilliant.
How much time do you have? The plot, an open mind, and clear communication skills of the clients can be a great foundation for an architect’s master thesis. It takes time but is definitely a lot of fun. Thanks again.
I’ll try rounding off the edges in the next few days and show you guys—good idea.
Why custom furniture? Only the stairs and bathroom are affected, everywhere else won’t impact the interior layout.
Cool idea to offer it as a master thesis, but that would take too long for me.
Best regards

Hehe,
yes, I have created several designs and presented them to the local authority where I exceeded the 4m (13 feet) boundary by about 1m (3 feet) and built in a rectangular shape, but this was clearly rejected.
I also pointed out the geometry to the authority, suggesting we could all benefit from it.
Their response was that they could just as well build a star there if they wanted to.
So, let’s go ;D
I need to create a 2D plan in the next few days, unfortunately not available right now ;D
Thanks and best regards

The design reminds me of a defiant stance towards the local authority due to the mentioned "lack of cooperation." Such a comment is rarely made without reason.
Is there a floor plan? I mean a classic 2D top view. I would really like to see that. I find all the other 3D renderings a bit hard on the eyes.
I definitely find such designs interesting and they shouldn’t be dismissed right away.

Why do you want to squeeze two residential units onto the property?
Where will the parking spaces for the second residential unit be?
Is the 4 m (13 feet) space in front of the garage sufficient?
For two residential units plus a basement, garage, curved driveway, and additional construction costs, I think a budget of 500,000 in BW is too low.
