First of all, thanks for your comments in my last thread. It was planned as a three-family house, but now we are starting over and just want to build a single-family house for ourselves.
A few details about the plot (there is still an old building on it, which will be demolished, see property 24):
- 1170 m² (0.29 acres)
- no slope, flat
- site coverage ratio & floor area ratio (I’m on the road and need to check these later)
- next to it is a carpentry workshop and the carpentry’s storage hall; a 5 m (16 ft) building setback must be observed.
Number of occupants:
- Parents with 3 children (10, 8, and 3 years old)
Our wishes:
- Guest toilet with shower and a large bathroom
- One kitchen (possibly open plan) with lots of natural light; my wife runs a cooking channel on YouTube
- Two stories (preferably) or as few roof slopes as possible
- Roof style = gable roof? (we definitely want it to be a usable attic, possibly for us or the children)
- No basement
- Brick cladding on the exterior
- Carport or garage; we’re still flexible on this…
- Possibly a guest room/office on the ground floor
- Possibly a granny flat / secondary unit? In case we’re alone at some point and the house becomes too big for us…
My architect is currently on vacation; he will take care of it when he returns… and when the design is ready, I will post it here.
Questions:
- Do you have any additional ideas on what I should consider or specify?
- We like this sample plan (see attachment). What do you think of it? (The attic is not included, the room layout fits well.)
I appreciate any useful comments .... (probably also a matter of taste)
PS: The plot scale is 1:500

One can always optimize something everywhere. One is just a placeholder for anyone who wants to see themselves individually in it.Sure... but I thought maybe something important was overlooked. Well, important can be relative too.
Hi Katja, thanks again!
I’m not sure if something like this is really recommended, but we didn’t want an additional laundry room; everything should happen in the utility room (we also use a dryer). But feel free to convince me/us otherwise!
First impression: I somehow liked the old plan better.

First impression: I somehow liked the old plan better.No problem. The focus here was an additional laundry room – utility room – ironing – storage – whatever you want to call it. The previous layout could have been quite tight for six people.
I would divide the room as in the last draft.
The humidity from washing and drying clothes, as well as the large amount of dust, is not beneficial for the equipment.
Your machine probably runs daily.
Take Kahoo’s floor plan, add your furniture, go through your daily routine, and you will see how well the layout fits.

These are all just sketches and ideas—you need to revise them mentally!
We could copy or draw something from the internet or our heads every five minutes here. By now, it’s not clear where the actual problem lies.
What was your initial question again?
