House Design
Designed by:
- Architect

What do you dislike? Why?: On the upper floor there is currently a knee wall of 1.80 m (5 ft 11 in), but the windows cannot be opened (I find fall protection unattractive) and I would also like shutters there. However, then the window would only be 60 cm (24 in) high… I can’t really imagine how that would look.
Price estimate according to architect/planner: 380,000€
Personal budget limit for the house: 252,000€ financed, rest as own contribution.
Preferred heating system: geothermal heat pump

If you have to give up something, which details/extensions
- can you do without:
- cannot do without: separate utility room with washing machine including access to the yard.

Why was the design created as it is now? I specified the rooms based on my ideas and the architect implemented them.

What is the most important/basic question about the floor plan in 130 characters? Window planning, I can’t imagine how it will look.

With a knee wall height of 1.80 m (5 ft 11 in), that floor plan clearly belongs to a two-story building.

Thanks to the large ground floor, probably not.

I will be at the architect’s office for half the day again tomorrow. Then I will ask for a dimensioned printout.

Having the architect add measurements won’t improve the situation. This is a custom design in the sense of “not market-ready,” which is why I don’t see the banker approving any numbers here ;-(

Although I check in daily, the first thirty posts haven’t come together without me. That also means: I don’t see anything here worth salvaging.
