House Design
Designed by:
- Do-it-yourself
What do you like particularly? Why?
What do you dislike? Why?
Especially long driveway to the garage
Price estimate according to architect/designer:
not available
Personal price limit for the house, including fixtures:
€400,000 (approximately $440,000) excluding land
Preferred heating technology:
air-to-water heat pump with ventilation system
If you have to give up something, which details/expansions
-can you do without:
overall floor plan could possibly be a bit smaller with clever design
-can you not do without:
garage
Why is the design the way it is? For example:
Standard design from the planner?
For about a year, I have repeatedly made changes to the design, looked at various floor plans, visited model home exhibitions, and researched on the internet
What do you think makes it particularly good or bad?
I hope that by already furnishing the rooms, I have considered many aspects, especially distances, walking paths, etc.
What is the most important / fundamental question about the floor plan in 130 characters?
In your opinion, can the floor plan still be optimized to avoid wasting space unnecessarily? Are the rooms large enough (technical room)?
If I have forgotten to provide any information, I will try to submit it as soon as possible.

The plot is quite challenging for a successful design.
The utility room is sufficiently large.
The hallway has too many recesses and projections for my taste, and the pantry is not very practical. I would rather install tall cabinets and eliminate the pantry.
Why are the two doors to the living and dining areas placed right next to each other?

FloDerMeister5 May 2019 17:53@ haydee What budget do you think I should plan for the floor plan?
@ wrobel I have removed the left door, you're right, it is unnecessary
