House Design
Who Designed the Plan:
I adapted it myself, based on an existing design
What Do You Especially Like? Why?
Orientation with living rooms facing south and entrance in the north
What Do You Dislike? Why?
The house could be positioned closer to the street, but that would reduce the size of the garage, which we definitely do not want to lose
Price Estimate According to Architect / Planner:
350k without incidental costs, without land
Personal Price Limit for the House, Including Equipment:
550k
Preferred Heating Technology:
Air-to-water heat pump
If You Have to Give Up, which details / extensions
- Can you give up:
If possible, the bay window on the utility room for cost reasons. However, we are concerned that the room might become too small without it.
- Cannot give up:
Shower on the ground floor
Why Is the Design Like It Is Now?
A mix of the standard floor plan and our wishes and ideas from magazines and the internet
Hello everyone, I hope I completed everything correctly. Attached is our design as it stands so far. The plot will be purchased soon, and our appointment with the architect is in May. I hope we are well prepared and would like to hear your opinions, ideas, and especially any criticism.
What still makes me a bit uncertain is the placement on the plot, as we placed the house quite centrally. Most houses tend to be positioned close to the street. According to the development plan, shrubs and trees must be planted in the rear area on a 5m (16 ft) wide strip, and we must also keep a 5m (16 ft) distance on the sides, as the building area ends there.

FloDerMeister28 Apr 2020 22:10On the left are fields, and the development area ends with our property. That is why there is also a 5m (16 feet) wide strip that must be planted according to the zoning plan.
Do you have any ideas for redesigning the bathroom?
As mentioned before, we have a large garden about a few meters away, measuring approximately 1000sqm (10,764 sqft). Since we are building without a basement and would like to have a large garage, I see hardly any alternatives here except reducing the depth of the garage. However, this would only gain about one meter at most. The property is 20.85m (68 feet) wide on the street side.

FloDerMeister29 Apr 2020 09:03Yes, that's correct. According to the development plan, we need to plant 5 meters (16 feet) on the left and at the bottom. No construction is allowed in these areas.
Is the ridge direction predetermined? If not, you could rotate the house (the floor plan would need to be redone).
Having a large garden nearby is nice, but if it is not adjacent, it should be considered a separate property. Someone might want to sell it at some point. For the current planning, it does not play a role. Therefore, I would make sure not to build on the garden area next to the house.

FloDerMeister29 Apr 2020 09:53The ridge direction is not fixed, so rotating the building would be possible. The photovoltaic system should still work properly.
@kaho674 could you please explain again what changes you would make to the bathroom layout, since you had pointed out some issues?
