Hello everyone,
we would like to present our floor plan to you. It is based on our ideas and preferences and is an initial self-created draft. We are planning on a nearly level plot without a basement under the house.
What is important to us is easy access to the covered terrace, a parent zone that we can use even in old age, and the possibility to separate the upper floor from the ground floor quite easily.
We look forward to your opinions!
Development Plan / Restrictions
Size of the plot: approx. 1000 m² (12000 sq ft) planned, layout still to be decided
Slope: slight inclination to the south
Site coverage ratio: 0.2 – 0.3
Floor area ratio
Building envelope, building line and boundary
Edge development
Number of parking spaces
Number of stories
Roof type: no restrictions
Style: modern
Orientation: see attachment, south is at the bottom
Maximum heights / limits:
Further requirements
Client Requirements
Style, roof type, building type: modern, flat roof, shed roof or hip roof

Additional wishes / special features / daily routine, also reasons why certain things should or should not be included: we want the option to separate the ground floor and upper floor. On the upper floor, it should be possible to install a small kitchenette and a washing machine in the bathroom. The ground floor should also be well suited for use in old age. Covered/wind-protected terrace, easy access from the kitchen to the terrace.
House Design
Planning by:

Personal price limit for the house, including equipment: 450000
Preferred heating technology: ground or air heat
If you had to give up certain details or extensions
- Can you give up:
- Cannot give up:
Why did the design turn out as it is now?
For example, a mixture of many examples from various magazines...
What is the main question about the floor plan summarized in 130 characters?
How do you like the floor plan? What do you consider absolute no-gos? I look forward to suggestions and critiques. Thanks in advance!!

So somehow Yvonne picked up a new language over the weekend. I’m completely lost. What do you mean by 1.2 WC? What is a space-saving RH? And what does "Schiddern" mean?1.20 meters (4 feet) wide
Space-saving terraced house / row house
Schiddern = to defecate

j.bautsch14 Aug 2018 07:37Our guest toilet is 1.30 m (4 feet 3 inches) wide and feels quite spacious for a guest-only bathroom.
I really enjoy going to the sauna and appreciate it, but honestly: how often do you actually get the chance? Once a week? Maybe twice a week in winter, less often in summer. With three kids, even less frequently...
So you give the sauna the best location, and the living room is placed in the second row? And the bedroom is completely disadvantaged. How much time do you actually spend in the bedroom each day? How often do you use the sauna, and for how many hours per day? How much time do you spend in the living room compared to the sauna?
I understand wanting to create a nice wellness area, but always keep in mind how often you realistically use it. This should definitely be considered during the planning process.
I would really start over or consult a good architect.

I would never do it like this again. I find it very difficult to judge how big or small these measurements are beforehand. On the plan it still looked roomy, but now in the shell construction with all the piping, which will still be covered, it feels too cramped. Let’s see how it looks when the sanitary fixtures are installed; maybe then my opinion will change and I’ll find it spacious... though I seriously doubt it.

j.bautsch14 Aug 2018 08:29I just checked my notes again—the toilet room is actually 1.39 meters (4 feet 7 inches) wide and 2 meters (6 feet 7 inches) long. Originally, the washing machine was supposed to go in there, but the door is too narrow, and I never wanted a top-loading machine again.
Of course, I can't fit a cabinet in there (except under the sink, which didn’t get a cavity wall installation because of the poorly positioned door—rental apartment :/ ). Since there’s no window, it’s also a bit dark, but I definitely don’t find it cramped. Actually, those extra 20 centimeters (8 inches) would make a big difference. So yes, it’s on the narrow side, but honestly, I don’t think you really need much more space. In our guest bathroom, there’s wasted space—I would have preferred those extra 10-20 centimeters (4-8 inches) to be in the adjacent kitchen. As it is, I can’t use it at all because there’s no room left for a cabinet.
