Hello everyone,

My wife and I want to build a single-family house in a new residential development. We have received the first draft from our designer and would like to gather suggestions and improvement ideas.

Our basic requirements:
- An extra room on the ground floor as an office / guest room
- Shower bathroom on the ground floor
- 3 children’s bedrooms on the upper floor
- Double garage

What we don’t like about the current design:
- Secondary entrance is outside the garage
- Living area is too small
- Entrance area is a bit tight, with a small coat closet
- Layout on the upper floor
-> Master bedroom is very large (we actually don’t need a walk-in closet)
-> 1 children’s room is large, the other 2 are quite small (ideally all around 15sqm (160 sq ft))

Maybe some of you have optimization suggestions. We have thought about converting the attic and creating a kind of studio for ourselves or preparing it for future expansion. We currently have 2 children (2 1/2 years and one on the way). Although 3 children are planned, you never know... So currently, we only need 3 rooms on the upper floor, which could all be made larger, and we might even have space for a storage room or a children’s bathroom. Of course, this would involve significantly higher costs. What do you think?

Thanks for your help and best regards

For brainstorming about the attic conversion... there isn’t enough headroom there... even the stair location would need to be completely redesigned.

Of course, that wouldn’t work with this roof shape anyway. We generally tend to prefer a gable roof. A shed roof is kind of more of a designer’s preference...

For brainstorming about finishing the attic... there isn’t enough headroom at all there...

I would rather give the younger ones exposed roof undersides; it might be enough for treehouse sleeping spots.

Then the planner should build their own house.

@hanghaus2023 ... I definitely read that ... and tried to argue against it. Because the movement of bicycles in the garage is often underestimated, and I don’t understand the undeniable advantage of a side entrance from the garage 😉 😉 😉

Unfortunately, this was an unfortunate start to the thread. Without the completed questionnaire, it will hardly lead to a meaningful discussion, but rather turn into a constant question-and-answer exchange. What does the zoning plan / development plan say? What is the budget? Is it enough for the attic conversion with a gable roof? Is a different staircase acceptable?

Maybe you should start over?

I do, I have such an access that I wouldn’t want to miss.
