House Design
Planned by: Do-it-Yourself
What do you like most? Why?
What do you dislike? Why? The walk-in closet is not perfect.
Price estimate by architect/designer:
Personal price limit for the house, including equipment: €500,000
Preferred heating system: Ground-source heat pump
If you had to give up anything, which details or additions
- You could give up: basement, but then larger footprint
- You cannot give up: 2 workrooms
Why is the design the way it is now?
Standard design from a planner? The basic dimensions are based on the Maxime 610 model by Viebrockhaus, with additional influences
What is the most important / fundamental question about the floor plan, summarized in 130 characters?
We already like the floor plan quite a bit. The walk-in closet upstairs is still not ideal. Possibly the entrance could be through the bedroom, which would create more space in the closet.
Windows in the basement have not yet been included in the plan but are, of course, intended.
We would just like to hear some opinions on this since we are completely new to building.

Here the chimney is built straight up. In my opinion, this would work?! Definitely not: you didn’t actually build the chimney straight up, but the firebox instead. The chimney—which, by the way, is very oddly sized—would completely block the closet door. It seems to me that the other participants understand your house better than you do yourself.

The wall behind it is intended to be used as a wood storage, so the chimney should remain more central in the room.
Also, as far as I know, there are smaller bends that can be integrated into the chimney.
But the whole setup definitely doesn’t depend solely on the chimney; if the general contractor or architect says it’s impossible, then that’s how it is.

Hmm, there are probably solutions, but it doesn’t look good.That’s more likely due to the original poster’s drawing skills, especially if the supposed chimney is just meant to be a wood storage. At least that somewhat explains the unusual cross-section.LukeLuu schrieb:

The wall behind it is supposed to be used as a wood storage, which is why it’s placed further into the room.You seem to imagine the chimney as some kind of smoke extractor hood. Cute. How do you actually imagine the fresh air supply?https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

These are just preliminary plans reflecting our ideas. We simply wanted to share our preferences. The architect/general contractor and the chimney inspector will then determine if and how it can be implemented.

The issue is that the children's bathroom needs to be redesigned, as the dimensions of the dressing room and bathroom no longer fit.Plans are meant to be revised among many possible options.P.S. This also applies to the staircase.
