Hello everyone,
below you will find our design that we feel comfortable with. We took your advice and drew everything on graph paper to the millimeter, without using any “toy furniture” models.
Development Plan / Restrictions
Plot size: 850 sqm (9150 sq ft)
Slope: No
Site coverage ratio: max. 180 sqm (1938 sq ft)
Building envelope, building line and boundary: see sketch
Edge development: see sketch
Number of parking spaces: 2
Number of floors: 2
Roof type: Gable roof
Style: contemporary and timeless
Orientation: west
Maximum heights / limits: Ridge height: 11.50 m (38 ft), Eaves height: 7.50 m (25 ft)
Other requirements: Driveway max. 5 meters (16 feet) wide
Client Requirements
Basement, floors: Yes
Number of occupants, ages: 4 (38, 37, 7, 5)
Office: family use or home office?: Both
Guest overnight stays per year: 6–10 times
Open or closed architecture: “semi-open”
Number of dining seats: 10
Fireplace: No
Music/sound system wall: No
Balcony, roof terrace: No
Garage, carport: Yes
Additional wishes / special features / daily routine, including reasons why something should or should not be:
The dining terrace as well as the kitchen and “outdoor kitchen” are deliberately located on the north side. A forest borders the north, where we can cook and eat outside undisturbed, unobserved, and without direct sunlight. This is important to us and simply feels best; we cook a lot and extensively. Brightness is provided through large sliding windows. The pool shown on the plan already exists on the property. We want to keep it and renovate it later.
House Design
Who designed it: DIY
What do you like most? Why?: All our wishes have been included.
What do you dislike? Why?: Possibly the staircase is too close to the entrance door and the “reception area” feels too cramped?
Personal budget for the house, including fittings: 600,000–650,000
If you had to give up certain details / expansions:
- could you give up: symmetry + southern orientation*
- could not give up: kitchen, dining and living in one line + large kitchen with terrace access + decent cloakroom + spacious living room
*Note: to the south there is a street and a relatively tall neighbouring house. A south-facing garden is not an option for us.
Why is the design as it is now? For example:
We tried many things, did a lot... this orientation and the resulting layout feel right to us according to local conditions. From our point of view, we are using the plot optimally: nice west garden, north side for undisturbed leisure time (privacy from neighbors).
What is the most important / fundamental question about the floor plan in 130 characters?
Do you see any bottlenecks or do the proportions look okay?
P.S.: I forgot to draw the window in the guest WC. The basement access inside the house is located beside the stairs, off the hallway. The assumed stair dimensions are 4.15 m (13 ft 7 in) long and 1.10 m (3 ft 7 in) wide.

I’m not aware of any quarter-turn staircases that end exactly at the orange line; they usually extend about one tread depth further in the exit direction.
Well, I know something like this from my basement:
Whether it’s nice or comfortable, that’s another question.

I can believe that. I just fear you might start doubting your planner if it is really presented the way you illustrated (and a draftsman is unaffected if it looks that “acceptable for the building authority”). What specific suggestions for improvement would you have?

@Würfel* .. by 125 cm (49 inches) width I mean the orange-marked corner stub that you also have

And this corner extension is not taken into account in the floor plan drawing for the basement stairs by @Hausprojekt35, but it would make the area near the slanted wall even tighter. </blockquote> <br />
I meant my basement stairs. They don’t have an extra corner and are really comfortable to use. <br />

@Würfel* : What do you think about the new version with the open staircase, especially since you obviously have one yourself?I’m not a fan of open staircases at all. I’ve seen it in terraced/townhouses or semi-detached houses where the dining area is always next to the stairs. I just find it uncomfortable to have the staircase in view. Not to mention the odors and noise. My photo might be misleading—I basically have a closed stairwell. So, I definitely prefer the option with the closed staircase :-)In your new living room, I feel there aren’t enough windows. It would be too dark for me. You have such a great view of the forest; there should definitely be a large window there! Put the TV on the small west wall. Do you always just sit on the sofa to watch TV? Looking out into the forest is almost meditative. Simply wonderful.
