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
Space requirements on ground floor, upper floor: about 75 m² (800 sq ft) each
Office: home office
Guests per year: 2–4
Open or closed architecture: rather open
Conventional or modern construction: modern
Open kitchen, kitchen island: open kitchen with island
Number of dining seats: 6
Fireplace: no
Music/stereo wall: no
Balcony, roof terrace: no balcony, possibly a covered terrace later
Garage, carport: garage
Utility garden, relaxation garden, snack garden
Other special features
Photovoltaic system
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,
Lisa & Udo

The ceiling height on the ground floor should be as follows:
2.655m (8 ft 8½ in) floor-to-floor height - 0.17m (6¾ in) ceiling thickness (assuming the ground floor and attic floor are at the same level) = 2.485m (8 ft 2 in) room height
Based on stair measurements:
(14 × 0.19m (7½ in)) - 0.17m (6¾ in) = 2.49m (8 ft 2 in)
@ypg So they already have just under 2.5m (8 ft 2 in).You have a floor-to-floor height of 2.825m (9 ft 3 in) - 0.17m (6¾ in) floor buildup - 0.25m (10 in) concrete ceiling, resulting in 2.405m (7 ft 11 in). If the concrete ceiling is changed to 0.20m (8 in), then it will be 2.455m (8 ft 1 in). Does the 0.17m (6¾ in) on the ground floor already include the floor covering? If not, you may need to subtract another 2–3cm (1 inch).

You have a floor-to-floor height of 2.825 m (9 ft 3 in) - 17 cm (6.7 in) floor construction - 25 cm (9.8 in) concrete slab equals 2.405 m (7 ft 11 in). If the concrete slab is now 20 cm (7.9 in), then it’s 2.455 m (8 ft 1 in).I’m currently trying to find a counting rhyme to decide which of your calculations I (don’t) follow.https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

If the concrete slab is now 20cm (8 in), then it’s 2.455m (8 ft 1 in). Does the 17cm (7 in) on the ground floor already include the floor covering? If not, you should subtract another 2-3cm (1 in). The +0.00 measurement should be the finished floor level of the ground floor; +2.825m (9 ft 3 in) is the finished floor level of the attic (see plan drawing top view of the entrance area). Subtracting the ground floor ceiling or attic floor thickness of about 25cm (10 in) gives: 2.825m - 0.25m = +2.575m (8 ft 5 in). Then subtract approximately 7cm (3 in) for the attic floor (that seems quite low—no underfloor heating?) which gives: 2.575m - 0.07m = +2.505m (8 ft 3 in) clear height. Adding plaster on the ceiling, etc., gives approximately 2.48–2.49m (8 ft 2 in–8 ft 2 in), in my estimate.
I might be slightly off with the calculations, but the original poster can clarify.

In post #9, the designer marked the heights in the elevations.I see a 17cm (6.7 inches) floor build-up, but no structural ceiling thickness (?)https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/
