Hello everyone,
We are still at the beginning of our building project but are already working on a possible floor plan to clarify our ideas. We would, of course, be interested in your feedback and suggestions for improvement. Below you will find the questionnaire completed to the best of our knowledge and attached are our drafts.
Development Plan / Restrictions
Plot size: 566 square meters (approx. 19 x 29 m (62 x 95 ft), see attachment)
The development plan follows § 34 of the Building Code.
The boundary building regulations follow common standards (i.e., a maximum of 9 m (30 ft) on one boundary and no more than 15 m (49 ft) in total on all boundaries).
A 9 m (30 ft) long garage is planned on the right side to conceal a commercial hall.
On the left side, a masonry carport with a canopy extending to the front door will be built.
Currently, we prefer the town villa architectural style but could also consider Bauhaus.
The plot mainly faces east.
Requirements of the homeowners
The project is intended for two adults and two children.
Two full stories are planned without a basement.
Space requirements on the ground floor: open living/dining/kitchen area; two small offices for working from home; utility room including heating/technical equipment; guest WC; cloakroom
Space requirements on the upper floor: two children’s rooms, a small bathroom, bedroom, walk-in closet, en-suite bathroom
Above the dining area, we would like to create an open void/gallery. We prefer an open, modern design.
The kitchen should be open and feature a cooking island with a stove.
The sofa in the living room should be oriented to face the open living/dining/kitchen area as well as the garden.
A small balcony accessible from the bedroom is planned above the offset living room.
House Design
As a basis for planning, we used a sample floor plan from a construction company and adapted it to our preferences.
What do we especially like? Why? The open layout combining living, dining, and kitchen areas, oriented toward the garden. We are aware that this open design with an entrance hall and open void involves some sound transmission.
What do we not like? Why? The bedroom is planned relatively small but includes an adjacent walk-in closet. Laundry must be done on the ground floor in the utility room, although the wardrobes are on the upper floor.
Preferred heating system: geothermal or air-source heat pump
If you had to give up something, which details/structures
- Could you give up: balcony; passage from utility room to garage; cloakroom (if integrated into the hallway)
- Could not give up: offset living room (to avoid a simple rectangular box), open void
We are especially interested in your absolute no-gos or critical points where you think we might strongly regret something later. If you need any additional information, please let us know.
Many thanks in advance!
Best regards,
BetaVersion

I thought I’d share our current progress for those interested. We have decided to move away from the central staircase with the two openings in the hallway. Now, if we remove the open space above, relocate a home office there, and reduce the space downstairs accordingly, we can eliminate the corner projection. I can already see the finish line ahead.

The design is quite okay, the budget will probably need to be increased a bit (in an emergency, the 911 in front of the garage will have to be sold 😉)
