Hello everyone,

How do you evaluate the floor plan? Suggestions for improvement, ideas... I look forward to constructive feedback.

Many thanks in advance.

Read through the links. Either all the builders here have fallen for rip-off companies, or your quotes are incomplete. With your budget, you have 100 sqm (1,076 sq ft) too much.

Read the thread title and thought 250sqm (2690 sq ft), this has to be something cool. Saw the floor plan, pure disappointment. Saw the budget and thought: "Daydreamer."

The floor plan is simply poor. The ground floor is very standard, just a bit oversized. Nothing fits on the upper floor. The staircase design might work in a small house, but definitely not at this size. Your budget is enough for a maximum of 200sqm (2150 sq ft)...

What do you mean by "nothing fits in the upper floor"?

The offers already have special conditions. Many acquaintances, etc.

I would say not standard but more classic?

Which staircase design would you choose?

Feel free to send me a first-floor design that you like, based on the standard ground floor. That would be great.

Oops...
Not only are the numbers wrong (250 sqm x minimum €2000 including sauna and stove), but also the disappointment of seeing an inflated standard floor plan on the ground floor.
I did a rough calculation: from the sink to the utility room, you walk at least about 30 meters (100 feet) back and forth... I would charge the planner mileage for that, it’s such an ill-thought-out layout. Another contributor here put it well: it’s designed on a grand scale but lived in like a two-room apartment, without any sensitivity to how large rooms actually function.
I find the upper floor a disaster: nothing fits at all, completely unplanned. I just can’t understand it—considering categories like senior-friendly practical design, barrier-free comfort, child-friendly simplicity, or elite elegance.
I wouldn’t want to buy this house if I were looking for a new home.

For me, this design is only a starting idea that requires a lot of work (including educating the homeowners).

Unfortunately, I can only agree.

Kitchen... huge walking distances and a ballroom in a place where a ballroom isn’t needed.

Upper floor... really small “mouse rooms” with tiny windows for the child/children, at least for the planned children’s bedroom.

250 m² (2700 sq ft) and a double spiral staircase for a household planned for 3, max. 4 people, doesn’t fit together. There should be at least a proper staircase with landings.

Utility room including laundry, but only about 8 m² (85 sq ft)... well.

And I also doubt the price.

I’m also missing a proper site plan.
