Hello everyone,

Although we already have our building permit (planning permission), I am still interested in how you would have done it and what you might have changed.

Development plan/restrictions
Plot size
: 1000m² (12,000 sq ft)
Peripheral development: only garage without windows allowed
Number of floors: two full stories
Roof type: gable roof
Architectural style: modern
Orientation: northeast, so the garden is in the southwest

Client requirements
We wanted space but no wasted rooms, like some houses with, for example, a gallery. A large living-dining area, since that is where we spend most of our time. The office must be on the ground floor, and we also wanted two bathrooms downstairs because when we are older, we want to live only on the ground floor. A basement is within the budget and needed to accommodate the pellet heating system and pellet storage. We are a family planning for two children. The family planning is complete with the second child.

Style, roof type, building type: modern, gable roof
Basement, floors: basement, two full stories
Number of people, ages: 2 adults, later 2 children: 27, 31 years old

House design
Who designed it
:
- Planner from a construction company

What do you especially like? Why?
We really like the floor plan.

What don’t you like? Why?
Maybe some space is wasted? Living-dining room could be too small?

Price estimate according to architect/planner: 450,000€

Personal price limit for the house, including equipment: 530,000€

Heating technology: pellet heating and underfloor heating, electric heater so the photovoltaic system can also heat water with electricity

If you have to give up something, which details/extensions
can you not live without
:
Ground floor bathroom, office

Why is the design how it is now?
Individual planning

What is the most important/basic question about the floor plan in 130 characters?
Requesting opinions on room layout and floor plan design

Best regards,

How large would the ground floor bathroom be then? What size would the wet room be? 2 sqm (22 sq ft)? Hmm... I’m a bit lost.
We need to see how it works out...

Just a very rough sketch to clarify what we mean:

The kitchen would likely be placed in the recess. I just wanted to show how much space would be created in the open living area.

The kitchen would be placed more in the recess. I just wanted to show how much space would be created in the open-plan area.

Oh, thanks a lot for the effort, but we would prefer to keep the front door where it is.
We did move everything around quite a bit at the beginning as well.
Best regards

A sewage pipe pushed through the opening in the concrete ceiling, then enclosed with aerated concrete blocks and the space between filled with mineral wool insulation... a cover was then placed on top inside the room...

Yes, that’s great, definitely worth considering.

Dear all,

You had great ideas, and we are grateful for them.

We will now close the thread; we have already tried quite a few things, and there is no other way, so we think this works well.

Best regards,
Lisa & Udo

We are now sealing the thermal envelope; we have already tried several approaches and no other method works, so we think this solution fits well.
Yes, that’s better before you get any more frustrated.
