Hello everyone,
First of all, respect to this forum – it’s great to see so many valuable contributions here and how openly but constructively the discussions take place. This is the reason why we want to share our building project for discussion and look forward to feedback for optimization.
Development Plan / Restrictions
Plot size approx. 800 sqm (8600 sq ft)
Slope slight slope (2.5 m / 8 ft drop from north to south over 40 m)
Site occupancy index 0.4
Floor area ratio 0.4?
Building setback, building line and boundary 3 m (10 ft)
Edge development garage
Number of parking spaces 2 parking spaces
Number of floors 2 full stories (if we get approval for a deviation from the development plan)
Roof type gable roof
Architectural style modern gable roof house
Orientation southwest-facing garden
Maximum heights / limits none
Other requirements
Owners’ Requirements
Style, roof type, building type: gable roof, modern
Basement, floors: 2 full stories + basement
Number of people, ages: 4 people (2 adults, 2 children)
Space requirements ground floor, upper floor approx. 190-210 sqm (2045-2260 sq ft)
Office: family use or home office? family use + home office in basement
Guest overnight stays per year 3-4 times
Open or closed architecture mixed (open and bright living-dining area)
Conservative or modern construction style modern
Open kitchen, kitchen island separated by large sliding door
Number of dining seats 8
Fireplace yes, with seating bench
Music/stereo wall stereo wall planned
Balcony, roof terrace no
Garage, carport double garage
Utility garden, greenhouse yes
Other wishes/special features/daily routine, including reasons why or why not for certain choices: fixed attached terrace roof, practical entrance area, efficient use of space, house access via double garage
House Design
Who created the plan:
-builder’s company planner
-architect
-do-it-yourself
Architect – result of preliminary planning
What do you like most? Why? layout of rooms on the ground floor. Spacious living/dining area. Access between garage and house
What do you not like? Why? due to the maximum plot width, it is difficult to realize the house entrance with coat area as well as WC/bathroom nearby
Cost estimate according to architect/planner: rough estimate according to DIN 450,000
Personal budget limit for house including equipment: 500,000
Preferred heating system: gas condensing boiler (but no final decision yet)
What is the most important/basic question about the floor plan in 130 characters?
After several iterations, especially for the ground floor, we believe we have a good concept. However, we would like to share all floors here for feedback, as we have seen on other topics that very good and valuable input appears, highlighting aspects we hadn’t thought of. Improvement suggestions are therefore very welcome.

Saying it’s a result might be too strong.
The house doesn’t look like a new build. It doesn’t look like a coherent design.
It looks as if a 1960s family house was fitted with dormers. Dormers are nowadays a popular way to add standing room under the roof in small suburban houses.
Then there’s the oversized garage extension... The dormers are always somewhat of a compromise. According to the development plan, one full floor plus an attic is allowed. The knee wall is limited to 80cm (31.5 inches). So there aren’t many options for the attic space. Suggestions are welcome.
The garage houses different things. One of the cars is relatively large and should have enough space, as well as room for a second car.
In addition, space is needed for garden tools, bicycles, children’s items, a roof box, etc. We currently live in a house with a garage of similar size. Unfortunately, it is very full. That’s why we love having a large garage.

I believe that less, but carefully selected, combined with a forward-thinking architect could be a good approach.

spatial distance. It can’t get any more than this: hallways and floors create more separation than you’d typically find in a detached single-family home.

When the parents come back inside after gardening or the kids return from playing, we will love accessing the house through the garage and the utility room. Are you sure? I personally dislike airlocks—I just go straight into the kitchen to grab something. Funny... when looking at the hallway on the ground floor, I actually got the feeling of a “formal living room” that is off-limits.

So there aren’t many options for the attic. Suggestions are welcome. Maybe consider redesigning as a single-story to better suit your current needs. You should ask yourself whether you really need—or want to pay for—around 250 square meters (2,690 square feet) for your family right now. Especially since the detached single-family home character is being lost entirely.
