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.

"The fireplace draws combustion air through a duct in the floor." I was not referring to the combustion air, but to the draft (airflow) that removes the exhaust gases against the spring stiffness of the air column in the chimney.

Here the chimney is built straight up. In my opinion, this would work?!
That’s not right at all. On the ground floor, the chimney is kind of a room divider between the dining and living areas, or am I mistaken? Then it would never exit at that position upstairs but rather right by the bed, in the middle of the bedroom...

Smoke and exhaust gases, based on the laws of physics, do not respond to excuses about inexperience and must comply with certain regulations.https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/
