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

In post #9, the planner marked the heights on the elevations. That's exactly where it is.

No. Every house is unique. In this case, I don't see any need for it—except for the small pink part... Thanks, and no, it will not be pink after all.

That could get tight if the double bed is placed against the stair wall. It’s best to try furnishing the room first. Usually, you need at least about 3.40m (11 feet) of width for the furniture. The door then often gets in the way. You can’t just move it, either, because then there wouldn’t be enough space for the wardrobe.
The windows at the top of the plan (northeast side) could still be optimized. With a gable roof, though, it’s not that important. The bathroom window on the ground floor disrupts the perfection—but maybe that’s not such a big deal. If you’re daring, you could paint the frame bright pink. Now I’m not sure if I already replied to you, so here’s my answer:
The double bed fits perfectly in both the upper and ground floors with space on both sides; we have already measured everything. The wardrobe is supposed to go behind the door. It’s and will remain a sliding-door wardrobe, which works well—we already had something similar in an apartment, and it was completely fine.
The windows work for us as they are, as changing them would mean a lack of wall space inside for the bathroom, etc.
Best regards

I see a 17cm (7 inch) floor construction, but no ceiling slab thickness (?) We have other height measurements, so everything fits as it is.
Yes, that is more than enough for us, why would we need it any higher? What benefit does the extra height bring? Except that warm air rises and it might feel cooler. Also, we have a maximum ridge height (or whatever it's called), and with the current dimensions, we are just within that limit. We don’t want to go any lower either, since the street is already higher, and we need a sump pump system for the basement. Otherwise, we would need an additional one for the ground floor and a sewage lift system as well.

I would miss having a pantry...
And another suggestion: I noticed the washing machine is on the ground floor and the bathroom is right above it on the upper floor. How about adding a laundry chute?
Overall, it seems like you don’t want to change anything in your planning at all, so why are we even discussing it?
