Hello everyone,
Finally, my floor plans are ready. Only our basement living area is missing, but I still need some information from the architect. The plan includes a laundry room, the heating room, a storage room, an office, and a large hobby room with a bathroom and a small kitchenette.
Attached is the site plan. It was provided by our architect and has been approved by the building authority regarding setback distances and parking spaces. I only added privacy fences and a garden shed. The positions are based on local neighborhood regulations. To the north, there is a garden plot (not buildable), to the east another new building is being constructed, to the south is the street (30 km/h (18.6 mph) zone) and across from it a house with a garden. To the west, directly adjacent to our property, there is a driveway and a garage, with another house next to it.
I’m trying to provide as much information as possible:
Development plan / restrictions
Plot size: 412.5 sqm (4,440 sq ft)
Slope: no
Site coverage ratio: 0.25
Floor area ratio: 0.50
Number of parking spaces: 2 free parking spaces
Number of stories: 2 floors (attic counts as 2nd floor due to knee wall) + basement living area
Roof type: gable roof, 25 degrees, knee wall 160 cm (63 inches)
Client requirements
Number of people: 2 adults (eventually + 2 children), ages 28 and 34
Office: home office in the basement living area
Kitchen: closed kitchen with a kitchen island pushed against the wall
Number of dining seats: 4, extendable to 6
Fireplace: no
Additional wishes
- The garden should be completely shielded from views (hence the privacy fence)
- We did not plan any garages, as we never had one and have never missed it. For strollers, garden furniture, etc., I have planned a garden shed, which also serves as a privacy screen
- We want a closed kitchen, no open kitchen. We don’t like that look.
- On the ground floor, we need a small niche for the vacuum cleaner, ironing board, water crates, etc.
- A walk-in closet is a must
- As well as a walk-in, built-in shower
I’m really looking forward to your opinions!

The architect’s floor plans are now finished after several rounds of revisions I am opening a new thread for better clarity. Hope that’s okay

We also built with Bien-Zenker and their architect. My advice: be cautious. The architect visited the construction site only twice and then was just asking for money! I am not satisfied with the overall performance and would never build with Bien-Zenker again. Many other things also went wrong.

You can easily reach us by email at s.Keller@bien-zenker.de.
Best regards from Schlüchtern,

Hello,
Regarding Bien-Zenker: We also built with Bien-Zenker and are very satisfied. Of course, some things may go wrong here and there. But it always depends on how the company handles problems. In your case, apparently not optimally. For us, however, it was very good.
I was only a bit disappointed with the architect. We met them in person exactly once and never again. There were no helpful suggestions regarding the floor plan itself either. The highlight was: "If the TV doesn’t fit in the bedroom, just put it in the wardrobe." Maybe I had the wrong expectations, but looking back, I am still disappointed and would probably build with an independent architect next time.
Good luck, nt86
