Dear forum members,
I am reaching out to you because our floor plan is basically finished and we are about to start soon, but some adjustments are still possible.
The questionnaire is quite extensive and no longer useful at this stage of the project since the design is already set. Therefore, I only ask for your opinion on the layout.
A single-family house is to be built for a (potentially) 5-person family.
A few key details nevertheless:
Development plan / restrictions
Plot size: 1033 m² (11,120 sq ft)
Slope: no
Site occupancy index: 0.4
Floor space index: 0.8
Building envelope, building line and boundary: not applicable
Adjacent buildings: no
Number of parking spaces: 2
Roof type: gable roof 25-45°
Client requirements
Style, roof type, building type: gable roof house
Basement, floors: 2 full floors, no basement
Number of occupants, age: 31, 28, 1, ?, ?
Space requirements ground floor, upper floor: according to plan
Office: home office
Guest bedrooms per year: some, accommodated in office/guest room
Open kitchen, kitchen island: yes, according to plan
Number of dining seats: 8
Fireplace: no
House design
Designed by: architect
What do you particularly like? Why?
Large open, airy living/dining area where the family can gather; seating area on the east side of the first floor for reading
What do you not like? Why?
The small hallway by the office/guest room and guest bathroom
Cost estimate by architect/planner:
2,000 €/m² (186 USD/sq ft)
Preferred heating system:
Controlled residential ventilation with ventilation heating system
Other comments:
There is an overhang on the south side of the house that extends far enough to prevent sunlight from entering the living area too much in summer but allows sunlight in during winter. We are still undecided about the stairs—wood or concrete—but in any case, a closed shelving system will be installed underneath. The wall between the living room and dining area is floor-to-ceiling; it serves as a separator and provides space for the TV and other equipment.
On the upper floor, please note that the children's rooms have vaulted ceilings following the roof pitch, and the window on the east side (right on the floor plan) features a seating bay.
I would appreciate it if you could share your impressions with me. Thank you very much!

More than withoutHaving no heating at all is hardly an option. So, the kind people used to have? That would have been radiator heating—but those were usually installed in dado or knee-wall recesses, which nowadays, according to current energy efficiency regulations, is probably not acceptable. So, how exactly would that work?https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

Feel free to take a look.

When Yvonne talks about feedback, she usually doesn’t mean "pull the next set of drawings from the oven," but rather "address any questions."

hampshire29 Oct 2020 20:47It would be interesting to know how important design, art, materials, and textures are to the homeowners.
If you set aside the general efficiency and economic aspects for a moment, the first design gains a clarity and elegance that can be showcased very well. The large upstairs hallway has the quality of a gallery and allows an art enthusiast to rotate exhibits (at least after the children have grown a bit).
Carefully selected furnishings can nicely organize the large living area. Make sure to consider room acoustics and an appropriate ceiling height (3m (10 feet)). Of course, you won’t manage that with €2000 per square meter.
The second design feels somewhat cramped and confusing on the ground floor.
From a practical and economic standpoint, this design is not the first choice, as circulation areas simply cost more than they add in value, and there are plenty of those, especially on the upper floor.
