Development Plan / Restrictions
Plot size: 700 m² (7535 sq ft)
Slope: no
Site coverage ratio: 0.3
Floor area ratio: 2
Building envelope, building line and boundary:
Edge development:
Number of parking spaces: 2
Number of stories: 1.5
Roof type: gable roof
Style: single-family house
Orientation: west-facing
Maximum heights / limits: max. 9 m height (30 ft)
Other requirements
Owners’ Requirements
Style, roof type, building type: single-family house with gable roof
Basement, floors: no basement, ground floor + upper floor
Number of occupants, ages: planned for 2 adults + 2 children
Room requirements on ground/upper floor:
GF --> living room, kitchen, guest room, shower bathroom, utility room.
UF --> bedroom, bathroom, 2 children’s rooms + office, possibly small storage room
Office use: family use or home office? home office
Number of overnight guests per year:
Open or closed layout: rather closed, but generally open to all options
Conservative or modern construction: modern
Open kitchen, kitchen island: rather closed kitchen, no island
Number of dining seats: 4
Fireplace: no
Music / stereo wall: no
Balcony, roof terrace: no
Garage, carport: yes, carport planned
Utility garden, greenhouse
Other wishes / special features / daily routine, including reasons why certain things should or should not be included:
The kitchen should be rather closed off from the living room because of odors, etc. Therefore, the wall to the living room. However, we would like to shift this wall slightly toward the kitchen to create a niche in the living room for a sofa/TV. Positioning the TV and sofa on the ground floor is still a challenge for us. We welcome suggestions.
On the upper floor, we want to shift the wall to the bathroom slightly so that the wardrobe can be placed just behind the bedroom door, preventing someone from walking directly into a wardrobe when entering. But the shift should be limited so the shower still fits behind the bathroom door. We also considered adding a walk-in closet or using the gable room for this, but decided against it because we feel the room is too valuable for that. Since we want the bedroom exactly where it is now and want the children’s rooms to be the same size, there are no other options for the walk-in closet—or at least none we have thought of. If you have any ideas to incorporate a walk-in closet, please share them.
We have thought about the room layout carefully. For example, the kitchen on the ground floor should face east to get some morning sun. The children’s rooms on the upper floor should face south to be bright. That is why the bedroom is positioned in the north. This also determines the bathroom and gable placement.
House Design
Planning by:
- Planner from a construction company
What do you particularly like? Why?
Gable room on the upper floor, the size of the individual rooms, bright living room with three doors.
What do you dislike? Why?
No walk-in closet or only difficult to realize with the current room layout. The living room might be a bit small due to the wall to the kitchen. Finding placement options for sofa and TV is challenging.
Price estimate according to architect/planner:
Personal price limit for the house, including fittings/accessories:
Preferred heating technology: heat pump
If you have to give up something, which details / extensions
- Can you give up: walk-in closet
- Cannot give up: bright, large living room. Bedroom should be designed so that you don’t walk directly into the wardrobe when entering.
Why has the design ended up like this? e.g.
Standard design from the planner? More or less standard design
Which wishes were realized by the architect? Closed kitchen, shower bathroom on ground floor
A mix of many examples from various magazines...
What makes it particularly good or bad in your opinion?
We really like the general room layout.
What is your most important / basic question about the floor plan in 130 characters?
Alternate ground floor layout for sofa/TV arrangement + options for walk-in closet upstairs? --> Optimal layout of approx. 190 m² (2045 sq ft)
We would be very grateful for suggestions and tips on our building project! We have already marked a few adjustments below but are generally open. Thank you very much in advance!
