Hello everyone
After some time of reading, gathering information, and searching for a suitable plot, we were able to start further planning our house project and would appreciate great suggestions for improvements and feedback on our current floor plan.
Development Plan / Restrictions
Plot size: 440m2 (approximately 4,735 sq ft)
Slope: none
Building window, building line, and boundary: setback distance: 3m (10 feet) from the street, 4m (13 feet) from the neighboring property
Edge development: no
Number of parking spaces: 2
Number of floors: 2 full stories
Roof type: hip roof
Architectural style: townhouse villa
Client Requirements
Architectural style, roof type, building type: townhouse villa with a hip roof, 30° pitch
Basement: yes, 2 levels
Number of occupants: 5 (2 adults, 3 children between 1 and 6 years old)
Space requirements on the ground floor: closed kitchen, living room with bay window, office, guest WC with shower
Space requirements on the upper floor: 4 bedrooms and bathroom
Office: intended to be used as a playroom and guest room
Closed kitchen with dining table
Fireplace
Garage
House Design
Planning by: together with the planner from the construction company
Challenges:
- The plot is not very large and has an irregular shape, which limits options for the house layout. Could it be designed differently?
Access is only possible from the west/southwest side. The minimum setback to the street must be 3m (10 feet), and 4m (13 feet) to the neighboring property. We would prefer the garage not to be directly attached to the house, but are uncertain how to realize this.
- The staircase has no natural light and might be somewhat dark.
- Is the living room too narrow?
Thank you very much in advance for your opinions and suggestions.
