If the basement is not intended as living space, there is probably no escape route planned either. How small are the children? I think I would prefer to have the bedrooms on the ground floor if there is no other option. If the budget is tight, I’m not sure I would allow for any additional storeys.

As far as I know, yes.If I understand the VGH Baden-Württemberg ruling from 08/23/2012 - 3 S 1274/12 correctly, a light well can be built very close to the neighboring property with the correct distance between the house wall and the neighboring plot (required open space depth, in my case less than 3 m (10 feet)). What are your sources?ypg schrieb:
Your current drawing has the living room on the west side. With the swap, it would be on the south side.So, something like the version of our house in the attachment, just without the guest room and the living/TV room shortened accordingly?

If the budget is tight, I’m not sure I would plan for additional structural modifications.At work, you might notice smoke gases more quickly than while sleeping. For the builder’s standard house, I would recommend modifying the existing structure rather than adding new levels, as extra costs could become obstacles on the way to homeownership (or to enjoying life in the home).https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

I actually find the ground floor from the first post really nice, with the L-shaped living room and the beautiful sliding door in the seating area... What might bother me a bit is that the couch has its back to the dining table, which I always find a little unfortunate, but of course, that’s a matter of personal taste.
I also think the floor plan works quite well for your needs. However, I don’t like that you walk directly into the kitchen, and overall the space feels quite tight for a family of five. You are losing usable area in front of the guest WC and with the small storage room. Since you have a basement, I would integrate these areas as a walk-in closet into the master suite and reduce the size of the bedroom. Then the kitchen could be moved further down as planned. This would also provide more privacy for the bathroom, and guests wouldn’t mind passing through a (tidy 😉 ) walk-in closet.
I would put the office in basement 1, add a fairly large window (or two), and then open up that area itself. It would bring a lot of natural light from the south. You could remove other basement windows for this. The storage room doesn’t need a window thanks to the ventilation system. I wouldn’t use the basement for sleeping, as it’s too far from the kids and the bathroom.
