House Design
Designed by:
- Do-it-Yourself
What do you like most? Why?
For us, the perfect house
What do you not like? Why?
We like everything; that’s why I’m asking here—maybe we have overlooked something.
Price estimate according to architect/planner:
Cannot say. Father-in-law and brother-in-law have their own company. The house will be a timber frame construction done entirely by ourselves. We can install electrical wiring ourselves. We can pave the yard ourselves. Drywall and jointing ourselves, etc. So, a lot of self-labor.
Personal price limit for the house, including equipment:
Preferred heating technology:
If you had to give up, which details / expansions
- could you give up: Ideally none
- could you not give up:
Why did the design turn out the way it is? For example:
Standard design from the planner?
Which wishes were implemented by the architect?
A mix of many examples from various magazines...
What do you think makes it particularly good or bad?

Okay, I don’t think having the children’s room facing east (mostly dark) is ideal. I would place the bedroom and dressing room in the warm south instead. I would switch the orientation accordingly. A site plan would help, for example, to understand how you are positioning the house on the lot.
I find the hallways downstairs and upstairs quite narrow and long.
Why do you have a large bathroom on the ground floor anyway? Because the guest toilet is only for guests. I want my own bathroom. It’s just habit.
So far, I only see a collection of rooms arranged more or less arbitrarily "just so it fits."
Please listen to the long-standing experience and collective knowledge that has developed here over the years and hire an architect who can transform your wishes into a solid floor plan.

Where do you even start. Cool house with a skate ramp.
I assume the street is to the north.
Are you allowed to build like this according to the building permit / planning permission?
Why this shaded terrace?
The best proof that size isn’t everything.
With 350 sqm (3,765 sq ft) you’d expect a wow factor. Here, the cramped skate ramp. Far from the spacious villas in glossy magazines.
Staircase in the wrong place, courtyard lost, 1980s-style slant and bay window, and it could actually work.
Even with a lot of DIY effort, the price won’t be far from a million. Get yourself an architect. 1.5 m (5 ft) hallway width is sufficient.
Yes, we are allowed to build this way.
I prefer to sit in the shade during summer.
Why is the staircase in the wrong place?
A million, certainly not half, at most—we’ve had a project of this scale before.

Did I understand correctly that you are installing the terrace this way because you don’t know what will be built around it? "Surrounded only by undeveloped land" can mean anything – from a new development area (unlikely with a 1200 m² (13,000 sq ft) plot, but then you would generally know the exact building envelopes of the neighbors) to a rural zone (more likely, but usually with less attractive views). Or a lucky break like with @hampshire...

I prefer to sit in the shade during summer and want some privacy from the neighbors. I don’t really care about the sun position right now. I don’t understand the hype about designing the house around it. Light will still come in anyway.
Now please be specific about what’s wrong. On the ground floor, I wanted a double garage with access to the house, a large open-plan dining/living room and kitchen with a breakfast table. One bathroom and a guest WC. The staircase to the upper floor should be separately enclosed from the coat area and entrance. Upstairs, I planned a master area with bathroom and dressing room, an office, two kids’ bedrooms with a bathroom for the children. So what exactly is wrong?
