Hello everyone,
After reading quietly here for some time, our house project has now reached the point where we basically have a final floor plan. It will be interesting to hear whether you see any possibilities for improvement. Please share both your concerns and what you think works well.
The house will be built as a solid structure and meets KfW70 standards. In total, we have about 130m² (1,400 sq ft) of living space. The house is intended for us as a small family with two adults and two children. There will be no more children.
We are building with a basement and prefer an air-to-water heat pump installed indoors as the heating system. There seems to be a new model from Eco with a Coefficient of Performance (CoP) of 4.0. Along with that, a 300-liter (79-gallon) water storage tank and that should be sufficient. Photovoltaics or solar panels are prepared but will not be installed during the initial construction.
No mechanical ventilation or heat recovery system is planned – any opinions on this?
The kitchen should be separable from the living/dining area by a glass sliding door. This way, unwanted odors can be kept out when needed, while the space still appears bright and open.
The large basement room is intended to be a party room, with space for a pool table and a small bar. Also, the upper left room in the basement should be usable as a sauna later on. Therefore, it has been planned with a three-phase power connection.
The garage is planned as a large single garage.
It would be helpful to know how you assess the walkways in the area of the stairwell as well as near the children's bedroom doors. Is there enough space and wall placement to move bulky items in and out comfortably?
If you have questions, feel free to ask!
Thanks already in advance!

interesting, we have exactly the same floor plan ideas, and YPG’s sketch is the version we are currently aiming for as well. I personally only manage 3D home design programs to a limited extent and, as mentioned before, leave the professional to implement it cleanly. I only have the issue with the double garage on the side where the ABSTK (as a buffer zone) is located – guest toilet window facing the garage… hmm…
We can take a look at how we or you have solved your ideas; I’m very interested in that! The fact is, our first plan was nice but not affordable (11.75 x 9.75 meters (38.6 x 32 feet)), so I don’t want to present it in detail here.
We have also taken many details into account: traffic flow, usability, windows, doors, etc., and it’s difficult in this form, so we need to work on it as well.
