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.

FloDerMeister29 Apr 2020 20:55Thank you for the floor plan. We will review all the variations again.
I would find the “built-in” sofa bothersome; I think an open design would look nicer. On the upper floor, I would definitely plan the access to the bedroom through the walk-in closet and also include a window in the closet. This way, you won’t have the door right next to the bed, which can be quite disturbing.
Best regards,
Sabine

Swap the walk-in closet and bedroom, so one person can keep sleeping while the other gets up earlier.Curly schrieb:

I’m not really a fan of having to go through the closet first.

In the bathroom [...] – it’s a winding maze. I think it can be improved.That was my first thought too. I find option 4 a good approach. I would choose a corner bathtub or position it diagonally in the corner. This creates a more natural flow into the toilet area.
I also wouldn’t want to give up a double sink, especially since your bathroom dimensions basically allow it. Maybe it could really fit along the shower wall?

Alessandro13 May 2020 09:11I would also prefer that. Then, where the sink is currently drawn, you could place a towel holder. This way, you can grab the towel immediately when leaving the shower.
