House Design
Planner: planner from a construction company
What do you like most? We really like the upper floor
What do you dislike? Why? The depth of the dining area (without gable) might be too shallow. Shower upstairs partly under sloped ceiling. Hallway downstairs offers little space for a wardrobe/shoe cabinet
Price estimate according to architect/planner: 280,000
Personal price limit for the house, including fittings: 300,000
Preferred heating system: central district heating in the development area

If you have to give up something
-details/expansions you could forego: basically nothing
-details/expansions you cannot forego: walk-in closet

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?

Site plan with plot 27 and 565 m² area at the path


Garage longitudinal section B-B, scale 1:50; foundation, floor, walls, ring beam.


Section A-A of a house with roof frame, stairs, walls and dimension lines


Upper floor plan with hallway, bathroom, bedroom, children's rooms, walk-in closet and staircase.


Ground floor plan: living room, dining/living, kitchen, study, hall, bathroom, utility room, garage.

Thanks, I’ll get back to you regarding the door to the dressing room.

To be honest, I don’t see the problem there. The stairwell exit is far enough away from the dressing room. Or does the staircase continue up to the attic with the first step right next to the dressing room?

Could you share some details about the extras and features included? Is the garage also part of the package?

The layout of the rooms plays a big role as well—especially on the ground floor—since the garage with the side entrance is on the right side.

Again, personal preference: I would care much less about having a direct entrance from the garage into the house than giving up a south-facing kitchen for it.

I would move the garage door slightly so that it aligns with the utility room door. It is more practical if the wall has its full width of 75cm (30 inches).
