Hello fellow home builders,

I wanted to share my design plans with you and would appreciate your feedback. Do you have any suggestions for improvements? Do you like the design? What would you do differently?

Best regards
Thomas

Thank you for your opinion.
But do you also have a suggestion for improvement?

@Thomas88 Where is the utility room with all the equipment, washing machine, etc.? In the basement?

Hello,

yes, it is in the basement 🙂

You need to fill out everything completely. Before people put their brainpower into it, they want to know if you can afford it. It’s pointless to give you the best advice if you are applying for a $600,000 loan with a €4,000 household income.

Yes, one or two different sill heights, remove the corner window (expensive and outdated), and move the windows above the large (living room?) window further outward. Also, personally, I would add color to the house. The white won’t stay as nice as in the computer render.

Still, I want to say again that planning the windows "in isolation" is a mistake. Why don’t you show us the floor plan? Maybe you can get useful ideas on how to better plan especially the inside of the house walls. In the end, the windows themselves are not that important. You live inside and want to look outside and have natural light. But please have them in the right places and serve the right functions. I hope it will work well if you plan so insulated. It would be better to look at the overall structure.

Of course, I’m not planning this in isolation.
I have a 3D planner here and review every change to the windows from the inside as well.
By the way, I shared the floor plan a few posts ago. Maybe you could take a look at it.

Thanks!

Hello,

please only evaluate the exterior view and the window arrangement.

Best regards,

The house appears quite massive, and due to the somewhat unflattering proportions, I would like to assume it has a high level of functionality. In a new urban villa development area, this might be acceptable. An asymmetrical window layout is fine if it shows a clear internal-to-external structure. I do not see that here. Of course, taste is subjective. However, it is clear that no design-savvy planner was involved in this project.

If the house precisely matches your ideas and the message you want to convey with the design, I have no suggestions for improvement. Otherwise, I recommend the designer study proportions, aesthetics, mathematics, and human visual perception. There are reasons why the “golden ratio” and other proportions are generally regarded as particularly pleasing.
