Hello everyone,
We are still at the very beginning of our building project and have a very first rough draft from a designer, based on our ideas, which we would like to refine.
Development plan/restrictions
Plot size: 712 sqm (7,667 sq ft)
Slope: no
Site coverage ratio:
Floor area ratio: 0.35
Number of stories: 2
Roof style: all allowed
Architectural style: all allowed
Orientation: southwest
No other relevant restrictions or specifications
Homeowners' requirements
Architectural style, roof form, building type: single-family house with a bay window, gable roof max. 30°, modern
Basement, floors: no basement, 2 full floors
Number of occupants, age: 2, both 35 years old, 1 child desired
Space requirements
On the ground floor: living/dining area, semi-open kitchen, pantry, guest WC, utility room (with technical equipment)
On the upper floor: master bedroom, walk-in closet, bathroom, 2 children’s rooms (1 optionally as an office), 2nd small bathroom (if guest WC on the ground floor has no shower)
Open or closed layout: rather open
Construction style: modern but cozy
Open kitchen, kitchen island: undecided
Number of dining seats: 4, expandable to 6
Fireplace: yes
Balcony, roof terrace: no
Garage, carport: double carport
Other wishes/special features/daily routine: prefers a straight open staircase
House design
Who designed the plan: designer from a prefabricated house company
What do you particularly like? The open concept while still having a not completely open kitchen
What do you not like? That the entrance area with the stairs might become too tight (the first plan had no entrance area at all, the stairs were closer to the entrance)
Price estimate according to architect/designer: not under €300,000
Personal price limit for the house including fittings: €320,000
Preferred heating system: heat pump
If you have to give up anything, which details/extensions
-can you do without: fireplace
-can you not do without: 2nd small bathroom with shower (can be the guest WC on the ground floor)
We know that it doesn’t fit yet. Especially because the stairs are too far into the living area to create an entrance area. Because of that, the passage to the kitchen possibly does not fit anymore?
In any case, I welcome any opinion and suggestions.
Best regards

I think it is extremely well done. All necessary rooms are included, walls are drawn in, and doors have even been mostly considered.But it could also become a boat. 😉
Hello,
To be honest, there isn’t much that can be done with this plan, draft, or sketch—whatever you want to call this design. It might serve as a rough guide, but nothing more. What immediately stands out to me is the proportion of the bay window. I can’t help it, but... no, please change that quickly. And the staircase—no idea what was intended there. I’ve never seen anything like it, or maybe I’m misunderstanding the plan. The pantry has already been mentioned. The upper floor lacks any clear structure. Please start over and have a serious talk with the planner... or, as suggested, consider working with someone else. Best regards
