hi, we have been going back and forth with the work and wanted to get your opinion
Development Plan/Restrictions
Plot size: 673 m² (7239 ft²)
Slope: 3.5% incline from one side to the other
Floor area ratio: 0.2 (Floor area ratio I: 134.6 m² (1450 ft²), Floor area ratio II: 201.9 m² (2172 ft²))
Building envelope, building line and boundary: see picture (the side lines mark the property borders)
Edge development: new residential area, detached houses
Number of parking spaces: 1
Number of stories: max 1 full story
Roof type: gable roof
Architectural style: captain’s house
Orientation: ridge runs northwest to southeast
Maximum heights/limits: eaves height 4.5 m (15 ft), ridge height 9 m (30 ft), reference point in development plan nearly 1 meter (3 ft) above plot level, brick facing required, dormers allowed on only 50% of the eaves length
Client Requirements
Style, roof type, building type: gable roof
Basement, stories: partial unheated basement, ground floor, upper floor
Number of occupants, ages: 34 m, 33 f, 3 m, 4 f + 1 planned
Space needs on the ground floor: 1 office, 1 office/guest room, kitchen with dining area, living room, bathroom with shower, entry hall
Space needs on the upper floor: 1 bedroom, 3 children's rooms, 1 full bathroom, 1 toilet with washer/dryer
Office: 100% home office
Overnight guests per year: 1 per month, mother-in-law
Conservative or modern construction: practical?
Kitchen: kitchen with dining area, table to be inside the kitchen
Number of dining seats: 6
Fireplace: no
Music/sound wall: no
Balcony, roof terrace: no
Garage, carport: garage for one car and bicycles
Utility garden, greenhouse: maybe later
House Design
Ground floor: floor area 107.5 m² (1156 ft²) (including stairs)
Upper floor: floor area 101.2 m² (1090 ft²) (including stairs)
Basement: approx. 70 m² (753 ft²)
Designer: designed by ourselves using Sweet Home 3D
Basically, we based the exterior dimensions on the Whiteline promotional house "Kiefernallee" from Gussek Haus and extended it about 50 cm (20 inches) longer on the left side of the gable. We have been working with Gussek Haus for a while. Initially, we had a floor plan with 4 gables and a longer house, but we discarded it due to complexity. The upper-floor layout is still based on that promotional house, but the ground floor has changed quite a bit.
What do you particularly like? When entering the house, you’re not immediately in the living room.
Price estimate according to the architect/planner: base house approx. 450,000 € (including move-in ready) + 60,000 €
Personal price limit for the house including basement: 550,000 € + additional costs and fittings
Preferred heating system: air-to-water heat pump with indoor unit
If you had to give up something, which details/extensions?
- You could give up: basically nothing 😀
- You could not give up: a few extra square meters here and there
Why did the design turn out this way?
For example: it fits well on the plot, although the terrace is quite small.
What is the most important/fundamental question about the floor plan in 130 characters?
Will the long hallway annoy us despite being reasonably wide?

Parents’ bathroom: shower preferably 1 m (3.3 ft) wide and at least 1.2 m (4 ft) long
Kids’ bathroom? Swap the sink and washing machine/laundry tub. In my opinion, a shower should also be added there.
Should the TV be placed against the half-height wall?

Parents’ bathroom: Shower better 1 m wide and at least 1.2 m long We currently have only a 70 x 70 cm (28 x 28 inches) shower, so everything seems large. However, the bathroom layout is not final yet, so we remain open to changes. We would also like a bigger window. hanghaus2000 schrieb:
Guest bathroom? Swap sink and washing machine/laundry tub. In my opinion, a shower should be added there too. That would mean three showers. We already have two here, and one isn’t used. Our architect has three children and said two are enough. Why swap sinks? I thought it would be more comfortable to have the sink in front of me. hanghaus2000 schrieb:
Is the TV going on the half-height wall? Yes, exactly.

I assume that you did not follow the advice I gave you, right?I completely agree with that assessment. The striking similarity between the sketches in the original post and all subsequent versions up to the most recent one can only reasonably raise suspicion that a draftsman rather than an architect was consulted. This naturally prevents any alternative designs from being developed. The essentially unchanged design then inevitably results in very limited potential for surprises regarding different ways to arrange the façade elements. Locked-in design at its "best" :-(https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

Yes, we did, but we absolutely did not like the designs. So, even though we didn’t really get along with Gussek Haus at the time, it definitely wasn’t because of the designs they presented to us. Both the catalog options and their variations were basically fine and very livable. Of course, if you are only focused on your own “design” from the start, no matter how good an alternative is, it just won’t be appealing. Do you happen to have any of those designs you didn’t like to share here?

Of course, if you’re fixed on your own "design" from the start, no matter how good any alternatives are, they just won’t appeal. Do you happen to have one of those designs you didn’t like to show here? Here you go:
Kiefernallee v2 + Sanderau served as the basis for the current design. The similarity to our design was coincidental; we saw that one during the preliminary selection and used it as a starting point.
Here is a design from an architect we no longer work with – they only received a list of our priorities but unfortunately didn’t stick to everything and during the feedback meeting simply said for some things, "that’s not possible."
