Good morning everyone,
I spent last weekend working on our first floor plan.
Development plan / restrictions
Plot size: 502 m² (5400 sq ft)
Terrace orientation: South / West, main entrance facing North / East
Building envelope, building line and boundary: 3 m (10 ft) setback, details in the attachment. The garage is allowed as a boundary construction; it still needs to be clarified whether building directly on the northern boundary is permitted.
Homeowner requirements
Pitched roof
2 full stories
Number of occupants: 2 adults + 1 child (another child planned)
Office: just a desk in the guest room for personal organizational tasks
Annual overnight guests: 6
Living area: 175 m² (1880 sq ft)
Open, cubic design
Modern style, bright rooms
No fireplace
Masonry double garage with adjacent utility room
No basement
House design
Planner:
- myself
Points we are not yet satisfied with:
- Entrance area possibly too small, hardly any space for shoes or wardrobe
--> maybe omit the shower in the guest bathroom to make room for the wardrobe? Although that would be a pity
- Utility room possibly too small? It should accommodate a washing machine, dryer, vacuum cleaner, ironing board, etc.
I would appreciate your opinions or ideas.
Thank you very much in advance.
Best regards
Alex
