Hello everyone,
my wife (28) and I (34) are currently finalizing the planning for our single-family house with a separate apartment.
I have read a lot in this forum in the past to get inspiration for designing the perfect floor plan for us. I hope the information below is sufficient; otherwise, I’m happy to provide more details.
Brief explanations:
Once the first draft from the architect is available, I will of course upload it.
Development Plan / Restrictions
Plot size: 1028 sqm (11062 sq ft)
Slope: No
Floor area ratio: 0.3
Floor space index: 0.6
Building zone, building line, and boundary: 15*~28 m (49*~92 ft)
Perimeter development
Number of parking spaces: 1 per dwelling unit according to the development plan
Number of floors: 2 for the main house, 1 for the separate apartment
Roof type: hip roof or flat roof
Style:
Orientation: south, southwest
Maximum heights/limits:
Other requirements: open construction style, two stories
Homeowners’ Requirements
Style, roof type, building type: townhouse style, hip roof
Basement, number of floors: yes, possibly partial basement
Number of occupants, ages: 2 adults (34, 28), 1 baby, another child planned
Room requirements on ground and upper floors:
Ground floor – living room, kitchen, storage room, office, guest toilet;
Upper floor – child 1, child 2, master bedroom, dressing room + storage, master bathroom, children’s bathroom

Fireplace: no
Music/audio system: 5.1 surround system
Balcony, roof terrace: no
Garage, carport: double garage
Utility garden, greenhouse: possibly later
Additional wishes/particulars/daily routine, also reasons why certain features are preferred or excluded
House Design
Who designed the plan: DIY, architect
-Builder’s planner
-Architect
-Do-it-yourself
What do you like most? Why? Open construction style, orientation, cantilever staircase
What do you dislike? Why? Access to the basement is currently not ideal
Estimated price according to architect/planner: 600,000 (currency not specified)
Personal budget limit for house including fittings:
Preferred heating technology: geothermal energy with ring trench, heat pump, underfloor heating, ventilation system
If you have to give up on something, which details or features
-could you give up on: gallery
-could you not give up on: open construction style
Why did the design turn out the way it is now?
Own preferences and thoughts, research of many floor plans. Separate apartment distinct from the main house.
What is the most important/basic question about the floor plan in 130 characters?
Is the room layout sensible? Any clever ideas? General feedback on potential issues. Open criticism welcome, I appreciate all hints.
Thank you in advance.

my wife (28) and I (34) are currently finalizing the planning for our single-family house with a separate apartment.
I have read a lot in this forum in the past to get inspiration for designing the perfect floor plan for us. I hope the information below is sufficient; otherwise, I’m happy to provide more details.
Brief explanations:
- Plot size 775
- The separate apartment is required because otherwise, we would not be able to acquire the plot. The current owners of the property (an old building that needs to be demolished) will live in the separate apartment and pay us monthly rent.
- We would prefer the basement stairs to be in the storage room, but this might be too tight. Therefore, the basement stairs may be planned above the office. Exact dimensions and feasibility are currently being checked by the architect.
- There is a guest coatroom at the entrance; the family coatroom will be designed as a built-in wardrobe in the hallway to the garage.
- The storage room marked in red is correct, we had to move the stairs slightly to the right 🙂
- Not all doors are currently shown, sorry.
- Laundry chutes planned in the master and children’s bathrooms.
- Orientation was not quite right and was adjusted afterward 🙂

Then you wouldn’t be looking at the stairwell, but at the stair railing. Whether that is better is another question. At least it’s an idea.

hampshire2 Jun 2021 16:54I quite like the design, and congratulations on the concept/decision. I wouldn’t describe the ensemble as a “townhouse,” which I actually see as a positive. I also appreciate that the study helps to separate the living units a bit.
The second staircase to the basement wouldn’t worry me. That part of the house is quite dark anyway, and the “wasted space” there is hardly an issue.
What you should know about this layout:
The second staircase to the basement wouldn’t worry me. That part of the house is quite dark anyway, and the “wasted space” there is hardly an issue.
What you should know about this layout:
- In terms of acoustics, it will be a “lively” house.
- The distances from the bedrooms to the children’s rooms are long.
- The children will need to learn quickly to use stairs and railings safely.
The question about a slope was answered with "no" in the questionnaire. So what would be the reason not to omit the basement access from the start and move the storage room and other spaces upstairs? Do the tenants want to install skylights in the flat roof of their "bungalow"?

Thanks again for the feedback.
Regarding sound, we have given it some thought and actually like it lively. If we unexpectedly run into issues, we could install a wall/glass panel/door between the staircase and the office and place a cover on the gallery.
We have also considered the basement. We could only extend the house toward the south, but then the upper floor would become too large. Enlarging just the ground floor is possible but doesn’t look right. Plus, there wouldn’t be enough space for a fitness room 🙂
Additionally, there is currently a house with a basement on the property, so we will need an excavator anyway.

Do you think the hallway will be too dark, and should we consider adding a skylight?That would be a great feature. 25 27 29 31Similar topics
