Hello everyone,
After a long wait, the first floor plan is ready. I would appreciate it if you could take a critical look and give me your feedback.
Development Plan / Restrictions
Plot size 643 sqm (7,000 sq ft)
Floor area ratio 0.30
Building window, building line and boundary
Edge development
Number of parking spaces 2
Number of floors 1
Roof type Gable roof
Architectural style
Orientation
Maximum height / limits FH 9.0 m (29.5 ft)
Other requirements
Homeowners’ Requirements
Style, roof shape, gable roof, four-gable
Basement, floors 1, no basement
Number of residents, ages 5 persons (34, 31, 7, 5, 1)
Space needs on ground floor and upper floor
Kitchen, living room, guest shower toilet, utility/technical room, smaller office/guest room
Office: family use or home office?
Number of overnight guests per year 10
Open or closed architecture partly open, partly closed
Conservative or modern design a healthy mix of both
Open kitchen with island, semi-open kitchen with island would be nice
Number of dining seats 6–8
Fireplace No
Music / stereo wall
Balcony, roof terrace
Garage, double garage
Useable garden, greenhouse Garden for pleasant evenings, children’s birthday parties, etc.
Other wishes / special features / daily routine, including reasons for preferences
We would like a larger but semi-open kitchen, as we cook and/or bake daily. The children also like to help in the kitchen.
If possible, I would also like an additional utility room on the upper floor, since all laundry-related tasks take place upstairs.
House Design
Who made the design:
– Planner from a construction company
What do you especially like? Why? Living/kitchen area is nicely large, lots of space for the family
Upstairs a beautiful large play hallway with additional storage space.
What don’t you like? Why?
Guest toilet door is somewhat awkward, too narrow? Hallway wastes too much space?? Where should a proper coatroom go? Entrance area is not appealing? The front door feels too small for the house, the guest toilet window does not fit visually. No idea how to improve this.
Price estimate according to architect/planner: still open / will follow once the floor plan and thus house size is fixed
Personal price limit for the house including fittings and fixtures:
Preferred heating system:
If You Have to Give Up, which details or extensions
– can you give up:
– can you not give up:
Why is the design the way it is now?
What makes it particularly good or bad in your opinion?
What is the most important/basic question about the floor plan, summarized in 130 characters?
Upper floor looks good, entrance area could be better
Would a different staircase allow a better layout?
Thank you in advance

I don’t understand how you can talk about style and especially about mixing styles when referring to a floor plan?I didn’t do that either. I explained the style flaws in post #4 – regarding the new floor plans, I didn’t criticize anything about the content, only that I find them difficult to read (poor resolution, made worse by patterned areas).https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

Good evening everyone,
attached is our new floor plan. There are some minor changes. Overall, we are quite satisfied. We will probably keep the kitchen mostly as is, but plan it as a “carrier deck” layout. In the plan below, a side-by-side refrigerator will be placed against the wall. We like the new bathroom on the upper floor because it won’t have any sloping ceilings. We are still deciding where to put our bedroom — either as planned or in the attic space of child’s room 2. That way, all the children would have the largest rooms. What do you think about that? Another highlight is the view of the entrance area. The ugly bathroom window is finally gone. The west elevation isn’t great, but it’s difficult to manage with the windows. What’s your opinion? I’m not an expert in floor plans, but I found Würfel*’s solution much smarter, especially regarding the stairs, hallway, cloakroom, and study. The study in the new plan feels quite narrow, and there doesn’t seem to be a good or intuitive spot for a cloakroom for five people.
A definite improvement in the new design is the swap between the bathroom and the utility room on the upper floor. I also like the four similarly sized rooms up there; this gives you a lot of flexibility in how you assign the rooms, which is good. Personally, I would prefer to keep the bedroom somewhat on the edge and avoid placing it between two children’s rooms, but that really depends on the family. The good thing is that you can swap the rooms if the layout doesn’t work out well or if another setup suits you better.

Dillinger125 Sep 2024 00:26The discussion is a bit older, but nonetheless, and perhaps for that very reason, I am now interested in the final floor plan.
We are facing a similar situation: 1.5 stories with a roof pitch of 45°, 3 children's rooms + bedroom + bathroom + kids' bathroom on the upper floor.
I assume your house is finished and occupied?
Would you do anything differently from today’s perspective, and if so, what?

Out of curiosity:
What exactly is a Mettwurstklinker? It is a type of facing brick whose uneven reddish coloration resembles the texture of a coarse Mettwurst sausage. This is exactly the bestseller brick among people for whom Northern Germany is a vague concept—those who consider the coastal region to start as far south as the Münsterland area and who wouldn’t cover their so-called captain’s house with thatch.
