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.

Here is the situation: Our development plan allows for two full stories. This means we could design the roof so that it could later be converted into living space if desired. But what does this specifically entail? Does anyone have experience or reference points regarding the financial and technical aspects of creating a future expansion option? Wouldn’t it have been more practical to discuss this here (long) ago instead of starting a separate new thread?

I meant my basement stairs. They don’t have any extra corner and are really comfortable to use.
[ATTACH alt="grundriss-efh-ca-190qm-mit-keller-auf-millimeterpapier-572713-1.jpg"]71494[/ATTACH] Our stairs look something like this. View from the upper floor. The top step is flush with the floor in our case.
Standard, comfortable… nothing unusual!

Joking aside, has a building plan been submitted yet?

Hausprojekt354 Dec 2022 09:52I still have enough graph paper; the problem is my wife doesn’t like working with it 🙂 Now, on a serious note: in February, my wife’s revised design is supposed to be submitted. Although it was already dismissed as really ugly without any discussion of the actual floor plan.
