Hello everyone
Development plan / Restrictions
Plot size: 2429 m² (26,134 sq ft)
Slope: slight downward slope to the left (when looking at the plot from the street)
Building envelope, building line and boundary: only 5 m (16 ft) setback at front and back
Floor area ratio: 0.4
Number of floors: 1 full floor
(There are actually no further restrictions such as roof pitch or similar.)
Client requirements
Style, roof shape, building type: originally 2 full floors desired → townhouse
Basement, floors: no basement, 2 floors
Number of occupants, age: 2 (planned 4), 23 & 26
Space requirements on ground and upper floors
Office: family use
Guest overnight stays per year: difficult to estimate, rather few
Open or closed architecture
Conservative or modern construction
No open kitchen, preferably with cooking island
Number of dining seats: 6 (+ expandable up to 12 for birthdays/Christmas)
Fireplace: yes
Music / stereo wall: 5.1 surround system
Balcony, roof terrace: no
Double garage
Small utility garden
Other features: it should be a smart home
House design
Who designed it: Do-it-Yourself, 3D view by developer
What do you dislike? Why? More covered terrace would be desirable
Cost estimate according to architect/planner: €265k for the house + €58k for garage
Personal price limit for house, including equipment: €300k - €320k (DIY electrical work possible)
Preferred heating system: geothermal heat pump
If you have to give up something, which details / additions
- can you give up: size of children’s rooms and bedroom
Why is the design the way it is now? months of self-planning
What is the most important / fundamental question about the floor plan in 130 characters?
Basically, we like the layout. Of course, considering the cost, it would be good to save a few square meters without noticeably losing living space. That’s the crucial point. Is the floor plan practical? Or could small adjustments yield more (space/comfort/cost)?
The file Grundriss 2 shows our planned layout on the plot with approximate sun path. On the left side in the top view there is already a bungalow. The land slopes down increasingly to the right, and nothing has been built there yet. Two full floors are possible there. No trees are present. The plot consists only of meadow.
I hope I have covered the essentials and look forward to your feedback.
Best regards, denz

At the moment, the estimate is around 1800€-2000€ per square meter of living space, right? But not in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
The entrance area is not really to my liking. You stand right in front of the staircase and almost trip over the first steps. But with a proper handrail, you can get past it safely.
If you want to save square meters, I would suggest simply reducing the width. The living room can be smaller, the bedroom upstairs as well, a utility room of 14 m² (150 sq ft) is oversized, and you can comfortably wash in a bathroom of 10 m² (108 sq ft) if you remove the awkward T-shaped layout. You can definitely save 1 meter (3 feet) or even more there.
