Hello everyone,
we are planning a custom-designed house and are very satisfied with this floor plan at first and second glance. Our wish was to have a large garage, and the house has now been adapted accordingly. We have a relatively narrow plot of land, measuring 18m (59 feet).
Planned changes still include:
We would be interested in your opinions.
Thanks in advance

Planned changes still include:
- Utility room as a walkthrough from the garage
- Reducing the size of the technical room and thereby enlarging the living room
- Layout of the master bathroom/dressing room/bedroom is not yet finalized
- The front slant will cause problems when placing a bed
We would be interested in your opinions.
Thanks in advance

Somehow, neither I nor YOU understood where the wall, where the staggered shed roof connects, actually goes (blue). Yes, that's right, and we will probably not build a staggered shed roof after all, as the rooms would likely end up being too tall.
However, the architect will take care of the final roof design.
It might also be a flat roof with skylights or a standard shed roof.

In that case, you should have given the architect free rein.

However, it is not a requirement. You can clearly see that it might not work with the floor plan.

It could work with considerable effort, but it would be quite pointless. The light from W usually only hits one wall. What’s the use of that?

derdietmar4 Apr 2026 13:47Hello,
I had already suspected this when I read the title and the first posts of the thread...
"Architect-designed house"
"Chimney specialist"
"Bathroom planner"
"Drawing from the architect"
"Known kitchen studio"
"Should stand out from the generic surrounding development"
Based on the description and self-presentation, one might think this is the planning of a luxury mansion in the Frankfurt Taunus region. In fact, it is a self-put-together collection of rooms (I wouldn't call it a floor plan) for a building in the Hessian countryside. Correspondingly, the "visualization" has nothing to do with the actual arrangement of rooms and completely lacks any design, structural, or architectural reality.
There is nothing wrong with a simple standard project (and that is exactly what this is), nor with amateurish self-designed plans that develop through feedback.
Best regards

Next week I will receive offers for this. Offer[s] (plural)?
Do you request quotes for every preliminary design release? Doesn’t the number of responses decrease with each submission, leading to the question whether you want to play around or actually build?
Creating useful offers takes a lot of work!

We will see if we need to make compromises. You find that out with the first and only request based on the preliminary design, and the design (singular!) is already budget-adjusted based on that insight.
Plopp, that means stop!

The purple marking is supposed to represent the house I’ve fitted the ground floor plan (release post #42) into the purple marking. This calculation works if the plot is roughly 20.0 to 20.2 meters (65.6 to 66.3 feet) wide:
