House design

158 m² (1,700 sq ft) of usable living space
Planned by:
planner from a construction company
What do you particularly like?

Kitchen, living, dining and laundry on the ground floor, all very compact
window seat, door from kitchen to laundry room
What do you dislike? Why?

Layout of the bathroom on the upper floor. Unsure if it can be combined with the dressing room.

Estimated price according to architect/planner: 500,000
Personal price limit for the house, including fittings: 500,000
Preferred heating system: water-to-water heat pump

If you have to give up something, which details/extensions
-can you do without: nothing
-can’t you do without: privacy and wind-protected terrace, office (home office), access from garage, laundry on the ground floor, equally sized children’s rooms, two bathrooms, large dining / living area

Why did the design turn out the way it is now?
Because of our own wishes, input from the planner and examples from magazines.

What is the most important/basic question about the floor plan in 130 characters?

Open to all feedback. Any suggestions for improving the bathroom / dressing room combination?

158 sqm (I count 170) with balcony, basement, double garage.
500,000 is ambitious for that.
Why have a laundry room on the ground floor when there is a basement?!

Skip the interior door, exclude the garage from the thermal envelope, and provide the other participants with clear dimensions, preferably including ground elevations.

I also find the walk-in closet integrated into the bathroom very unfortunate; that is something I would not want. I don’t like the entire upper floor layout either, as it seems everything was just somehow arranged around the two equally sized children’s bedrooms. Unfortunately, I am not an expert in floor plans, but I’m sure others will have some ideas.

In my opinion, 500 TE is not enough.

I also find the dressing room/bathroom on the upper floor very strange – and without any windows!? Plus, only 4 sqm (43 sq ft) for the kids’ bathroom.

I would get rid of the straight staircase; then you could probably design something better.

Please refrain from using cheap tricks like creating a new member name in the future. If you want to challenge me in the picture memory game, you'll have to get up earlier: https://www.hausbau-forum.de/threads/grundriss-ein-leben-im-traum-oder-albtraumhaus.42002/
