ᐅ Our current planning phase

Hello dear forum,

In another thread, I already asked about the “right” insulation.

Here is our current plan.

Requirements for the floor plan

3 full-sized children's bedrooms

Attic fully usable and accessible by a proper staircase

Not smaller than our current house (+ of course the 3 children's bedrooms)

Dormer gable (because of the 3rd bedroom) and also because we like it.


Attached is our current floor plan option.

Exterior dimensions depending on the provider: 11.5 - 12 m x 9.50 m (38 - 39.5 ft x 31 ft) plus 1 m (3 ft) dormer gable, one third of the house width.

The house is planned to have underfloor heating and a mechanical ventilation system with heat recovery in both the ground floor and attic, if that matters.

At the moment, I’m not very happy with the ground floor layout; I find the kitchen somewhat cramped.

If I swap the kitchen with the office/guest room, the seating area becomes tight because it would then logically have to be placed in the dormer gable.

We would appreciate any suggestions, improvements, or critical feedback on what is good or bad, as well as any ideas on things we might have overlooked.

The house orientation with the dormer gable is roughly southwest in options 1 and 2.

Ok, I can understand the issue with the shower.
Also, straighten the wall of the guest toilet where the door is—then you’ll see how big the room really is and that you can already fit two showers in there 😉 (or that you can make the room smaller :mad 🙂.
There’s definitely still room for improvement. But if you prefer the hallway with the 45° corner, I would keep it that way.
