Hello everyone,
Since we will probably be purchasing our plot soon, we are currently in the planning phase and have created the attached floor plan together with our designer.
All our wishes have been taken into account.
The elevations are the first draft; we are working on them diligently and hope to get some input here through suggestions and criticism.
Development Plan/Restrictions
Plot size: 656 sqm (7,060 sq ft)
Slope: minimal gradient from south to east
Site coverage ratio: 0.3
Floor area ratio: -
Building window, building line and boundary: 16 m by 20 m (52 ft by 66 ft)
Edge development: corner plot (at least currently, and we hope it stays that way)
Number of parking spaces: double garage including 2 spaces in front
Number of floors: 2 full stories
Roof type: gable roof
Architectural style
Orientation: northeast / southwest
Maximum heights/limits: building height 8.50 m (28 ft)
Other specifications
The south side is on the "lower" corner. To the north, there is currently a turning circle.
Owners’ Requirements
Style, roof type, building type: 2 full stories with a gable roof, clean lines
Basement, floors: basement, 2 full stories
Number of people, ages: 2 adults (38 and 36), 2 children (6 and 3)
Space requirements on ground floor and upper floor: as shown
Office: family use or home office? Yes, on the ground floor (currently still shown with a double bed)
Guest sleepers per year: max. 5
Open or closed architecture
Conservative or modern design
Open kitchen, kitchen island: closed kitchen
Number of dining seats: at least 6
Fireplace: yes, water-heated
Music/sound system wall: still undecided
Balcony, roof terrace: no
Garage, carport: double garage
Vegetable garden, greenhouse: possibly behind the garage
Other wishes/special features/daily routine
House Design
Who created the plan: designer/structural engineer, direct contract
What do you particularly like? Living and dining area; we will still adjust the chimney into the wall structure to create a corner niche of 1.00 m by 1.20 m (3 ft 3 in by 3 ft 11 in) for the corner fireplace
What do you dislike? The corner between the office and kitchen, as well as the guest bathroom, which will probably be too small for a shower
Price estimate from architect/designer: unknown
Personal price limit for the house including fittings: unknown
Preferred heating technology: air-to-water heat pump
If you have to give up anything, which details/extensions
- can you do without: the pergola or covered terrace, this could be realized later
- cannot do without: office on the ground floor
A few notes:
The staircase is deliberately placed as shown to completely avoid the dirt area.
As mentioned at the beginning, we are still working on the elevations and are open to all criticism and suggestions, especially regarding window sizes. For example, we do not want floor-to-ceiling windows on the upper floor.

First of all, thank you for creating the images.
And congratulations as well, since I know it wasn’t entirely easy for you. 🙂
Without the garage, I count only 7 corners; ours has 6... Sure, a simple box shape with four corners, straight walls, and a roof is the cheapest but also the most boring design. I don’t like bay windows, but meaningful projections... Well,
I also notice some smaller details with the window placement?
Where will the wardrobe go (did I miss something)?
P.S. In the laundry room (what a word...) I would prefer natural daylight and a real window.
Creating the images wasn’t that difficult after all...
I quickly furnished the upper floor for you. We have already revised the window positions and will discuss them with the planner.

Hmm, the floor-to-ceiling windows in the bedroom on the upper floor don’t really fit with the furniture layout, not even in their current positions.
Also, it would be great if you could crop the images to show only the important parts before saving them with the white border 😉We plan to install a clerestory window above the bed. We’re still unsure how to design the other window. We are really pondering over this...

Really a strip window? Difficult to clean and not really significant for the amount of light. I would probably leave out the window. From the outside, it always looks a bit like an arrow slit. You still have a window on the other wall. The strip window should be operable.
And the window on the other wall faces the neighbor.
I would swap the rooms, slightly shift the central wall, and add a window with a standard sill height at the top of the plan.
The four vertical window bands on the left side of the plan should be aligned vertically, and the bathroom mirrored accordingly.
I would omit the light strips above the virtual beds.
