Before we give the "go" for the floor plan, we would really appreciate it if you could review it with your experience and knowledge or share any advice and tips for us.
Many thanks

Why is the design as it is now?
Standard design from planner? No, we specified the room assignments
Which wishes were implemented by the architect? The plan mainly resulted from the room concept.
What do you consider particularly good or bad? We find the layout quite good, especially regarding orientation
What is the most important/fundamental question about the floor plan in 130 characters?
What advantages or disadvantages do you see in the floor plan and design?

stefan_baut11 Jul 2020 13:21I find the floor plan very well designed and am following along with great interest, as the house and roof type, as well as the room requirements, almost exactly match my own (future) ones.
In particular, I’m very curious whether the estimated costs are actually achievable—I’m almost a bit skeptical about that.
A few thoughts based on my personal preferences: I would swap the kitchen and living room to bring more light (south-facing) into the kitchen. I would also move the kitchen further towards the bottom of the plan, since I don’t like a direct line of sight between the living room and kitchen.
To do this, the guest bathroom and study would likely need to be switched. At the same time, I would swap bedroom and bathroom on the upper floor to have bathrooms stacked above each other. This would also solve the issue with the south-facing bedroom.

URGENT!!! First, just relax
But the annoying thread title wouldn’t have been a reason to delete and repost the thread while I was already replying :-(
The dressing room door still needs to be set back from the edge of the first step; other than that, I don’t see anything that needs changing. Is the BMW to scale? (If it’s a 3 Series, probably yes, then everything fits).Thank you, I’ll take another look at the door to the dressing room.Nida35a schrieb:
The floor plan is very good,
what bothers me is the north arrow. If it pointed downward, everything would be fine, but as it is,
one children’s room faces south, one north,
the bedroom faces south without morning sun, the kitchen is far from the terrace, etc.
The floor plan works great if south is at the top. Thank you for your comments. For the children’s rooms, it was important for us that they face the garden, each with about half the gable side. The terrace will probably extend at least from the middle to the right, since the corner near the garage also offers some privacy from neighbors … and from the rear garage door, groceries can be carried directly into the kitchen.

Budget does not fit. Without personal labor, depending on the region, at least €100,000 (about $110,000) more should be plannedHello, the offer including many extras and fittings is already available and has been signedSimilar topics
