Hello everyone,
I would appreciate your feedback on our floor plan.
As a young couple, we are currently in the planning phase. We are grateful for any advice. We would also welcome a rough estimate of the costs, if anyone has a sense for that.
Overall, the house should be built solidly and be fairly flexible in use, but also stay within a reasonable budget.
We are particularly interested in your opinions on:
- Living/dining/kitchen layout
- Hallway on the ground floor (the corners seem quite large to us, but we managed to fit a nice wardrobe there)
- Doors in 45-degree intermediate walls — attractive, practical?
- General space allocation — too tight / too much?
Additional details:
No local development plan in the outdoor area
Exterior dimensions planned so far: 11.30m x 10.55m (37.1 ft x 34.6 ft)
Usable living space approximately 180m² (1937 ft²) plus basement
Basement, ground floor, upper floor with 1.75m (5 ft 9 in) knee wall
Gable roof, 28 degrees, ridge oriented east-west
One large dormer facing south, room below with full ceiling height (2.50m / 8 ft 2 in), no bay window
No exposed roof trusses on the upper floor, sloping roof edges, otherwise wooden beam ceiling
No sloping site, no buildings to the south, driveway to garage on the north side
Double garage
Intermediate building for heating system
If feasible: staircase from garage to basement
Number of occupants: 2 adults, 2-3 children
Living room and dining room connected by a large sliding door
Dining room and kitchen in one space, separated by a room divider, large dining table desired
Office on the ground floor — should also be usable as a bedroom later
Bathroom on ground floor with large shower, otherwise small area sufficient
Guest toilet on ground floor
Bedroom on upper floor — later convertible to office
Walk-in closet on upper floor — also connected to hallway, intended to be flexible as a possible child’s room
Fireplace for a small wood-burning stove in the living room
No balcony
Double garage
Intermediate building for wood log heating
Additional requests/special features/daily routine
Floor plan drawn by myself (non-professional)
Preferred heating technology: wood log heating
Thank you very much for taking a look and for any constructive comments!

Happy New Year!

That would be something for @Bauexperte
Happy New Year!
Discussing this floor plan is unfortunately pointless 🙁
Write down your room requirements, budget, and prioritized wishes on a piece of paper and take them to an architect.
As Yvonne already said: Leave your floor plan at home. If you end up with a similar floor plan from the architect, change the architect 😡

Living area approximately 180 m² (approximately 1,940 sq ft) Very roughly, and please also search this forum for costs:
180 m² (1,940 sq ft) x 1800 Euro/m² = 324,000 Euro (very cheap from 1400 Euro/m², no upper limit, those building large usually don't want cheap).
Basement 40,000 Euro (likely more)
Double garage 30,000 Euro (including roof and adjoining rooms, often more)
Additional construction costs 30,000 Euro (often more)
Construction supervision, expenses, miscellaneous... 10,000 Euro (???)
All in all: 434,000 Euro plus unforeseen costs, plus special requests, plus exterior work (paved areas, fence, garden).
The biggest potential for savings is in the living area, the second point in my opinion is the garage complex (compare precast concrete garage on strip foundation).
Everything that needs to be said about the floor plan has already been addressed...
