Additional wishes / special features / daily routine, including reasons for choices or exclusions:
- Large open living/dining area with southern exposure.
- Large terrace at the front of the house, accessible from kitchen/dining area.
- Garage not in front of the house to preserve sunny space 🙂 — driveway located north beside the house instead.
- Minimum roof pitch on the upper floor.
- Possibility to reduce living room size later to create a bedroom (planned door in front of guest WC).
- TV area rather small, as we’re not typical couch potatoes :-D
- Office with dormer window.
House Design
Designer:
- Do-it-Yourself: based on a prefabricated house provider’s plan template
What do you particularly like? Why?
- House set back 10 m (33 ft) from the street, large living area due to frequent visits from a large family.
What do you dislike? Why?
- Possibly the kitchen is too small.
- Possibly insufficient storage space.
Price estimate from architect/planner: appointment pending
Personal budget limit for house including fittings: 350,000 (planned DIY for electrical, flooring, heating, plumbing)
Preferred heating technology: geothermal heat, possibly solar thermal support
If You Have to Give Up Something, which details/features
- can be foregone:
- direct access from living room to outside
- cannot be foregone:
- terrace access
Why has the design turned out as it is? e.g.
- Everything was placed on the ground floor with the option to create an additional room later by adding a wall in today’s living room (door in front of guest WC in living room).
- Large terrace at the front of the house is important and there is enough space.
What is the most important/basic question about the floor plan summarized in 130 characters?
Are there issues with the size of the utility room if washing machine, dryer, technical equipment, and storage space are included?
Is the guest WC with shower sufficiently large?
Do the room sizes appear reasonable?

We have 1.30 meters (4 feet 3 inches)... not much. There will definitely be sloped ceilings. You mentioned you want to avoid them as much as possible. Why don’t you plan for a knee wall height of 180 or 200 centimeters (6 feet or 6 feet 6 inches)? In my opinion, even the Weberhaus design works with a hip roof. Two full stories are allowed, right?
Two floors are about 6 meters (20 feet) plus 2.5 meters (8 feet 2 inches) at a 25-degree roof pitch. There’s still room to work with.

Yep. Because that’s taken into account during planning.
The house, the design, hasn’t improved overall by your input, nor does it fit the lot better. I have already made a suggestion.

You want to sit by the street? Okay...
Admit it: you basically want to reinvent the wheel! Garage in the back, terrace in the front. Are you sure this is your property? 😎:p We have an additional terrace on the east side. It’s used quite often in the summer.

Yours?I already mentioned the 8 by 13 in post #15. :pFeel free to revise the design with floor plans. That’s not my area of expertise.

Feel free to revise the design with floor plans. That’s not my area of expertise. Oh, that’s what you meant. I was looking for a floor plan 😎
I don’t feel like I would be designing in line with the OP’s intentions. So I’d better leave it at that 😉

Here is the plot
[ATTACH alt="Grundstück 19.JPG"]58873[/ATTACH]
Here it is with the driveway from the west
[ATTACH alt="Grundstück 20.JPG"]58874[/ATTACH] What are the garage dimensions? I assume 6 x 6 meters (20 x 20 feet)?
Is that an additional extension to the garage?
Is there still access possible between the garage and the house?
Where would the main entrance to the house be? The gable side facing west?

Where would the main entrance be? On the gable end facing west? The garage is 6 x 6 meters (20 x 20 feet) but can be any other size since there is enough space to the east.
The extension, assuming that in Bavaria (BY) 9 meters (30 feet) can be built up to the property line, is 3 x 2 meters (10 x 7 feet) for bicycles/E-bikes and/or trash bins.
As shown, a passage (preferably covered) is planned.
The main entrance can be anywhere since a passage is available. However, I would suggest placing it on the west side.

Of course, it might be that Weberhaus’s timber frame construction doesn’t have to pay that much attention to this. So how are you planning to build?

Two floors are about 6 m (20 feet) plus 2.5 m (8 feet) with a 25-degree roof pitch. That still leaves some room. Yes, that’s possible. That’s why I never even thought about looking at the townhouse designs: Weberhaus offers nice, slim houses with a high knee wall and a gable roof.
