A friendly hello to everyone 🙂

After a long wait, we have finally been able to purchase a building plot in a new development area and now want to fulfill the dream of owning our own home. We have been working on the optimal floor plan for us for several months now. So far, we are quite satisfied with the result.

What can you say about the floor plan in general? What do you like, or where do you see room for improvement? We have been reading and quietly following the forum for some time, but we think you might spot areas where adjustments could be made. Where do you see weaknesses? We look forward to constructive criticism and your feedback!

Thank you very much in advance!

House Design
Who designed it: Do-it-yourself
What do you especially like? Why?
Large, open living area, staircase in the living area, access to the garage from the house

What do you dislike? Why?
Because of the narrow plot width, the garage is too narrow; we would have preferred to build a double garage.

Personal price limit for the house including fittings: 480 K
Preferred heating technology: geothermal heat, underfloor heating, photovoltaic system on the roof

If you have to give up something, which details / additions
-can you do without:
Sauna

-can you not do without:
large kitchen, open room layout, office on the ground floor, guest room, large walk-in closet, access to the garage from the house

Why is the design the way it is now? For example
The design developed the way it did based on our wishes and ideas – we tried to implement them as well as possible for the narrow plot. We also visited various show homes and of course sifted through countless floor plans on the internet.

Thank you very much for reading and best regards

At our place, the front door is unnecessary. Everyone uses the side entrance. Only the delivery service rings the bell now. Even the mail carrier leaves packages and mail in front of the side entrance door.

When you’re at home, you’re basically part of the family and don’t need to use the entrance reserved for the mayor or bailiffs, that’s fair enough. But an entrance from the garden to the utility room feels different to me than a passageway from the garage, where, if I’m huddled at my tax paperwork desk, women carrying multiple bags brush past me. My home is my castle, yes—but that doesn’t automatically mean it has to be a drive-in house, with wild specimens of the local Homo neighborensis species lurking right outside the garage door (and in fact, not all of them smell bad or shout nonsense, which is why I’m happy to meet them even without the protection of my Faraday cage-like castor container).
