Hello everyone,
I have been a quiet but interested reader of this forum for a long time and am impressed by the helpfulness here.
We are planning to build a Frisian-style house (9.7m x 11.7m (32ft x 38ft)). We have finally found a plot that might work. However, we are unsure if the house might be too large for the plot.
Development Plan / Restrictions
Plot size – 530 m2 (5700 sq ft)
Slope – none
Floor area ratio – 0.3
Floor space index
Building window, building line and boundary – 5 m (16 ft) setback from the boundary
Number of parking spaces – 1 carport and 1 separate parking space
Number of storeys – 2 storeys
Roof style – gable roof
Architectural style – Nordic Frisian style
Orientation – South/West
Maximum heights/limits – max ridge height 10 m (33 ft)
Additional requirements – energy source only district heating, rainwater must infiltrate on the plot
House Design
Who designed the plan:
- We designed the floor plan ourselves, but it has been "approved" by the builder and Barbar.
What do you particularly like? Why? We absolutely want to build a gallery and create a cozy reading nook there.
What don't you like? Why? We are not fond of a townhouse style. We prefer having a pitched roof.
Price estimate according to architect/planner: 250,000€
Personal price limit for the house, including fittings: 270,000€
Preferred heating technology: only district heating available in this development, otherwise we would have chosen gas.
What do you think of the floor plan? Do you have any suggestions for improvement?
Does the placement of the house on the plot work as is, or is there potential for improvement?
The small box next to the house is meant to be the carport. Unfortunately, the original double carport is not allowed here...
Thanks very much for your help

However, we are not sure if the house might be too large for the plot. Not necessarily too large. I would try playing around with templates and moving the carports. @danixf made a good suggestion about this. Is it allowed to build a carport within the 5-meter (16 feet) front setback?

Number of floors – two-story But is it also allowed to build single-story?

1. There is already a concrete offer for the house. We can get it “turnkey” for 254,000€ What does “turnkey” mean in this case? How much flooring and painting work is included?
Builders like TM build quite affordably. Or Scanhaus Marlow? Town & Country? Heinz von Heiden? That works. But then you usually have additional costs that are already included with more expensive builders.

With less than 20,000€ for additional construction costs, all on-site costs, flooring, and painting, plus landscaping, it will be tight. The base price only includes basic, minimal fittings. I don’t see it quite like that.
Additional construction costs would be around 25,000 to 30,000€.
However, I find the mentioned 20,000€ quite tight since electrical work takes quite a bit, as do flooring, bathroom and kitchen furnishings, etc. I assume all of this is included in that 20,000€ budget? Are outdoor areas like the terrace and driveway calculated separately?
Is the Frisian-style house going to be plastered or brick-faced?
I wouldn’t rotate the house; I think the gable should face the front.
I don’t quite understand the upper floor plan. Overall, it’s not really to my taste. I would probably mirror it. Or maybe not... hmm
Edit: My reply overlapped with Mecky’s.
So, we have now planned the furniture in the rooms. Unfortunately, the tool does not carry over the room names into the drawing. However, I hope it is clear which room is which.
Basement floor:
Upper floor:
The additional construction costs do not include extras for the house itself, only items such as construction drying, construction water/electricity, and utility connections.
All other extras are included in the house price of €300,000, such as electricity, flooring, different doors and windows, etc.
The Frisian house will be brick-clad.
The middle room on the upper floor is intended to be a walk-in closet. It is so large to allow for extra storage space for items that cannot be accommodated elsewhere on the upper floor. To the right is the bedroom.

The 2m (6 ft 7 in) roof line is missing, so the bathroom cannot be properly assessed. The shower might still be in the sloped ceiling area.
What is the purpose of a 302 cm (10 ft) wide bedroom? And what about that gap in the walk-in closet?
Kitchen... peninsula - wall, passageway too narrow.
All doors have a maximum construction width of 80 cm (31.5 inches), resulting in a passage width of approximately 76 cm (30 inches).
