Hello everyone...
After our first floor plan attempt failed completely, we worked with the architect to develop two more ground floor versions and one for the upper floor. I would like to know which ones you find good or bad, and what you generally like or dislike about the floor plans?! Also, the pantry door is drawn a bit oddly; it won’t actually look like that...

Ev-Marie8630 May 2017 21:04I think it’s “cozy.” I would have also liked to have a 10x10 meter (33x33 feet) layout… I believe the square shape is easier to plan. We only have 9 meters (30 feet) in width, and that extra meter in width would have been helpful. But now I’ll make the best of it… Unfortunately, a basement was no longer an option.

So here are a few pictures and the floor plans from us. Some of this can serve as inspiration here, while other parts may not:
The difference lies in the house width, which allows for a walk-in closet in the cross-gable here; and in the second bay window on the entrance side. And most importantly: the basement.
The basic shape, roof pitch, and knee wall height are similar (although not concealed here). And it is also a solid masonry construction.
It looks to me as if a semi-detached house served as the basic model for this design, with additional facade windows placed on the gained free side only in the attic.
For Ev-Marie86, it was the other way around — a detached model lost a wall of windows (and was lengthened and compressed in width). Did you also make so many changes?

Marvinius31 May 2017 07:04Well observed[emoji2] We currently live in a semi-detached house from 1904, and the ground floor layout of the new house indeed reflects the layout of our current living area. On the new house’s ground floor, windows on the east side are not really worthwhile since we are situated lower than the neighbor there, and a garage is planned to be built at some point anyway.
The background is quite complex, though. The planner from our construction company initially designed a house without a basement, with the gable end facing perpendicular to the street. Shortly before construction began, we decided to a) rotate the house on the plot, b) add a basement, and c) more or less design the floor plan ourselves.
We started with a floor plan from our construction company. The ground floor was adjusted to fit our current living situation, and good lighting in the upper floor was important to me; hence the gallery with a roof window. The layout for the bathroom on the upper floor appeared in my email one day as an offer from another company. The idea for the dropped roof on the street side comes from a catalog of a very high-end provider.
So, from the original house design, only the kitchen planning has basically remained.

Marvinius31 May 2017 07:15The length and width of our house were determined during the planning process. The plot is 17m (56 feet) wide, and I definitely wanted to keep the house width under 11m (36 feet). However, with only 10m (33 feet) house width, the hallway was too narrow and/or there were tight spots in the bedroom. Additionally, the garden side needed to be symmetrical.

Ev-Marie8631 May 2017 19:20You have a 12m² (130 sq ft) bathroom... is that okay..? In our case, it might be around 14m² (150 sq ft). I just hope the bathroom won’t end up being too long... What do you think?
