The house is intended to be used as a weekend/holiday home, so that both we (a young family) and our parents can stay there, or up to 8 people (including children) at times. Therefore, there are 3 bedrooms with two sleeping places each, plus a sofa bed in the living room. However, this sofa bed is expected to be used only occasionally.
It must be noted that the house needs to be partly built into a slope. For this reason, the southeast corner features correspondingly tall windows. We think this south-facing wall is well suited for the living area, for example for TV placement.

House Design
Who designed it: own design
What do you like most? Why? The sanitary areas are compactly stacked and located next to the utility room, also situated in the northeast corner. Spacious combination of kitchen, dining, and living area. Good use of space under the stairs. Bedrooms upstairs are nicely sized. A compact sauna fits in well.
What do you dislike? Why? Perhaps the hallway on the ground floor is a bit narrow? Utility room a little small?
Estimated price according to architect/planner: -
Personal budget including fittings: -
Preferred heating technology: air-to-water heat pump
If you had to give up something, which details or design features
-could you live without:
-could you not do without:
Why did the design turn out this way? For example:
Standard design from the planner? We tried to consider everything so that it pleases us
Which wishes were implemented by the architect?
A mixture of many examples from different magazines...
In your opinion, what makes it particularly good or bad?
The circles in the upper floor plan represent Velux skylights.
The house will be built with an exposed roof truss.
The front door is located on the north side, the balcony on the south side.

We also have a holiday home. The priorities are a bit different there, in my opinion. Usually, you go with the whole family or even friends. It’s good if everyone has their own small bathroom with a shower, ideally directly connected to the bedroom like in a hotel. An additional “guest” toilet, on the other hand, seems unnecessary to me—who is going to clean it? I would design the sauna without a toilet or sink, but with showers and a relaxation room, preferably with seating and a bar. Thank you very much for the detailed comments! We had planned the “guest toilet” on the ground floor so that you have a toilet there first of all (and don’t always have to go upstairs, for example in the evenings or at night when children are sleeping) and secondly to have an additional shower option... but of course, if we add another bathroom upstairs, we could drop the showers.
Yes, the sauna... I would set it up exactly like that right away, but space is limited and the other rooms somehow seem more important to us in terms of size… but we’ll consider it!

A common room and a large kitchen on the ground floor are nice. In the kitchen, we have two cooktops and ovens. That has proven to work very well. The dining room should have space for a long table. That is possible here, but the furniture is not drawn in, so it’s not entirely clear what you plan to do with the bay window, for example.Exactly, that’s how we planned it too. The long table should start in the bay window and, when fully extended, reach into the room. There is plenty of space there, which was important to us. The bay window will have a folding sliding door so that in summer you have a wide “passage” between outdoors and indoors. Or do you think a sliding door would be better?

I agree with Katja… I would prefer to have 4 rooms with at least 2 bathrooms on the upper floor, and then also a guest toilet on the ground floor as well as a sauna with a shower on the ground floor, so you can, for example, go outside easily.
And I would avoid having a sleeping area in the living room. Thanks as well.
We actually want to keep Bedroom 1 quite large so that the entire south side "belongs" to us, and we can also enjoy the large roof windows on the west side. Four rooms will of course be difficult then, as they shouldn’t be too small… but I’m still considering it.
I’m not so keen on the sauna being on the ground floor. If we want to connect it with going outside, we might rather consider an outdoor sauna. But we like the idea of having the sauna more in the sleeping area; we’ve experienced that before and it suits us. Thanks!

I would also plan for an en-suite, a wellness area, and possibly divide the living area into TV and reading/chatting zones.Thanks as well! The problem is that both an en-suite and a separate wellness area take up a lot of space, which makes the rooms quite cramped, especially considering the knee wall height as well.
Do you mean subdividing the living room further? So far, we have the kitchen/dining area and the living room separated, and I think that’s enough for us.

And you’d rather leave out the shower for that? What do you do in your room on vacation? Exactly! Nothing but sleep! The rest of the time, you’re out and about, outside, or in the common area.A holiday room needs a bed, a wardrobe, and space for suitcases. Maybe a chair with a small table—that’s already a luxury. You can easily fit the shower in there.
Bedrooms are only for sleeping.
Beds, wardrobe finished.
One bathroom for 8 people is far too few. It is a holiday home. In 10 years, partners and children will also be included.
After the sauna, a relaxation area is needed. Preferably outside.
Possibly a pool or hot tub as well.
I am thinking of 8 people.
Someone cooks or plays at the dining table, two people chat over coffee, the men watch football.
