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

I am in favor of #22. Have all the lots been sold already? There is even a lot of 533 m² (5740 sq ft) listed on Immoscout.
Only some of the lots are allocated by the municipality through a local resident model. For us, only #21 and #22 are options, as the rest are too large or too expensive. Not to mention the other lots that are privately sold.

I don’t have much experience with floor plans and have a poor sense of space. Just to clarify. But I wouldn’t want my dining area next to the utility room. What speaks against swapping the living room and utility room?

From what we have read, the utility room should face the street side for access purposes.
