Good evening,
We were fortunate to purchase a plot of land in a new development area and are currently preparing the plans for the building permit / planning permission application. We would like to optimize the current design together with you and look forward to an active exchange.
Development Plan / Restrictions
Plot size: 509 m² (5477 sq ft)
Site coverage ratio: 0.40
Floor area ratio: 0.80
Building envelope, building line and boundary
Number of parking spaces: 1.5 per residential unit
Number of floors: max. two full stories + setback floor
Roof shape: free
Architectural style: free
Orientation
Maximum height: max. 9.8 m (32 ft) building height with flat roof
Entrance on the north side, kitchen: SE, living room = SW, bedroom = SE,
Study room: basement = SE.
Client Requirements
Building type: modern, flat roof
Basement, floors: ground floor + upper floor + basement + setback floor
Number of occupants, age: two adults mid-30s and two children, possibly parents-in-law for the setback floor.
Space requirements on ground floor, upper floor, setback floor (expandable)
Office: home office required in the basement (semi-basement)
Open or closed architecture: ground floor open plan, open kitchen with island, modern building style, high ceilings (2.80 m) (9 ft 2 in)
Number of dining seats: 10
Fireplace: yes
Roof terrace: yes
Single garage + carport
Garden: yes
Open space volume: yes
House Design
Architect (preliminary design)
Heating system: air-to-water heat pump. There is also a gas line nearby (possible hybrid systems)
Ventilation: undecided, open to suggestions
Have the client’s wishes been implemented by the architect?
- As open a layout as possible on the ground floor with dining and living areas visually separated by a fireplace
- In the living area, if possible, a spiral staircase leading directly to the upper floor (short access to the bedrooms and for aesthetic reasons), provided it doesn’t look overloaded
- The house should later be convertible into a family home without major alterations. Appropriate provisions should be made and submitted in a way that can be approved.
What is the most important/basic question about the floor plan in 130 characters?
What improvements can be made to optimize the floor plan according to the above requirements? Living and dining area, additional room on the ground floor with the option to create a second later.
Are the room sizes adequate for their intended use?
What, in your opinion, is not well planned or has not yet been considered according to the wishes?
Thank you very much

Furthermore, we are considering setting back only the top floor due to setback requirements, in order to maximize the full width for the ground floor plus attic and to visually break up the structure (otherwise, the area size looks industrial). I don’t understand this sentence at all. What else, if not a setback top floor, should be set back and from what? Structure industrial train station Bohemian villages how where what why huh???

The architect says the garage will be narrow with only 3m (10 feet) width... What do you think? I can’t see which measurement you mean in your plan. Otherwise, I not only think that, but in real life, I manage perfectly well with an interior clear width of 2.90m (9.5 feet).

Sorry for the somewhat unclear text!
We have a plot width of 16.50m (54 feet) with a required minimum distance to the neighbor of 3 meters (10 feet) (Hessen). However, the architect based this on 3.60m (12 feet) each due to the height of 9.80m (32 feet) without needing to set back the setback storey. We would prefer to set the setback storey back to fully utilize the full width/area of the ground floor and first floor with a length/depth of about 17–18m (56–59 feet). Also, from the north and south sides, it looks too bulky and massive (see picture). Therefore, we want to set back the setback storey and accept the loss of area at the top accordingly. Also, to somehow open/break up the mentioned area by setting it back. What do the rest of the experienced members think? Ideas on how to design this optimally?
I can’t see which dimension you mean in your plan. Otherwise, not only do I think, but in practice, I get along just fine with 2.90m (9.5 feet) clear internal width in everyday use.Garage parking space on the north side. This is about the remaining total width (garage exterior dimension) of 3 meters (10 feet) if the setback storey is set back?
@ 11ant: How wide is your garage (exterior dimension)?

Garage parking space on the north side. Is this about the remaining total width (outer dimension of the garage) of 3 meters (10 feet) when the set-back floor is recessed? I’m still confused – why would the garage be affected by how far the set-back floor is recessed?
A 3-meter (10-foot) outer width is doable; a precast concrete garage typically has wall thickness of about 8 centimeters (3 inches); if the walls are thicker, it just gets tighter. A metal garage attached to the house doesn’t look good.
