Maximum heights/limits
Additional requirements
Client Requirements
Architectural style, roof type, building type: preferred gable roof for photovoltaic system

Traditional or modern construction: modern
Open kitchen, kitchen island: essential
Number of dining seats: 6 standard — more possible 😀
Fireplace: optional
Music/sound system wall: optional
Balcony, roof terrace: none

Utility garden, greenhouse: planning still open
Additional wishes/special features/daily routine, also reasons for choices or omissions
House Design
Planning by:
- Do-it-yourself
What do you particularly like? Why? Open kitchen and dining area, spacious ground floor, somewhat separated living room, large technical room (as basement replacement), roomy study, southwest-facing terrace, efficient use of the plot
What do you dislike? Why? No direct access to the garden, few windows facing the garden, possibly too little parking space???
Cost estimate by architect/planner: not yet available
Personal price limit for the house, including fittings: 550,000 €
Preferred heating system: horizontal ground heat exchanger (trench collector), alternatively heat pump
If you have to compromise, on which details/features
- What you can give up: We have tried to limit ourselves to the essentials (no basement, alternative carport, space-optimized upper floor use, ...)
- What you cannot give up: number of rooms, spaciousness on the ground floor
Why did the design turn out the way it is? For example:
A mix of many examples from the forum, online floor plans, own ideas
What do you think makes it particularly good or bad? Efficient use of space on the upper floor and the plot
We look forward to your comments

Here is my suggestion:I already proposed this in #9, but the original poster @Bau_BAY did not respond to it.S
Schorsch_baut22 Apr 2024 11:25And a little tip from me – plan for a good, solid fence around the playground. Not because of noise or curious onlookers, but because of trash. Next to our house, there is a small playground that we initially loved with our two young children. We are constantly picking up trash – and occasionally a stray ball – from our garden. Sometimes even a full diaper. We were able to get the local parks department to remove the bushes facing our property because they were often used as a toilet. And yes, there is a trash bin there, but people can be strange. I would even consider placing the garage on the playground side if the lot can be accessed from the rear.

I already suggested this in #9, but the original poster @Bau_BAY did not respond to it. It's good if I note down the ideas. That makes three people proposing the suggestion. In my opinion, the house should even work with 12.5 * 8 m (41 * 26 feet).H
hanghaus202322 Apr 2024 11:32@Schorsch_baut A plot of land next to a playground is a deal-breaker for me. Although the one near us is rarely used.

Schorsch_baut22 Apr 2024 11:38The children don’t bother me; mine are probably louder anyway, and I’ll likely be deaf in 10 years. We mainly use the garden side facing the playground for storing firewood and the compost heap, but the amount of trash is really annoying. Especially fruit bar wrappers and similar items, which children are given, end up on our property. Sometimes this is also due to crows rummaging through the garbage bin.

Schorsch_baut22 Apr 2024 11:43I would choose the 22-meter (72 feet) plot. Although there is more traffic and possibly more snow removal service in winter, it also offers a better view. Additionally, the site access could be arranged differently. However, I couldn't get excited about either of the plots.
