Hello dear forum,

We would like to present our planned house now and would appreciate some honest feedback. We are generally very happy with it and have already submitted the building permit / planning permission application. But maybe there is still something we don’t see.

The ground floor (or basement level) will be completely open at the front, so we want to enter the house at ground level or drive in through the garage. The other sides will partly be embedded in the slope.

The two smaller children’s bedrooms on the upper floor are planned for the first years of the children. When they get older, they will move to the ground floor where the two larger rooms are.

Please don’t take the furniture layout too seriously. This does not matter at this stage.

Best regards and many thanks!!!

I would find it very disappointing if I could only access a balcony from my living room....

There are many doors in the entrance area, but somehow there is no space for a coat rack.

In the upper floor bathroom, you have to squeeze between the shower partition and the washbasin every time, which looks very tight.

And for 36 people plus 2 children, I would find it too cramped 😉

Hmm, I’m also very cautious when I read that the plan is supposed to be final.
Basically, I would have arranged the living/dining area with the kitchen on the basement level and placed the bedrooms upstairs.
Or planned a split-level design.
For me, there is nothing better than having direct access to the garden on the ground floor. Everything else always feels like an apartment to me.

So... for 214 sqm (2303 sq ft) plus attic space, you only have 10% more actual living area compared to our 125 sqm (1345 sq ft).

I see a huge amount of room for improvement and optimization. Writing everything down now would be too much and wouldn’t make much sense anyway, so the short version is: Tear it all down and start over.

I can’t believe this is supposed to come from a motivated architect.

2 rooms of 16m² (172 sq ft) for work and guests, but the children get a more complicated 12m² (129 sq ft)? Somehow disproportionate 😉
