House Design
Planning by:
- Do-it-yourself
What do you especially like? Why?
Open living and dining area
Bedroom facing south, bathroom facing east
Price estimate from architect/planner: Shell construction so far €330,000 (excluding garage), CLT construction method
Personal price limit for house including equipment: €420,000
Preferred heating system: undecided so far

If you have to omit, which details/extras
- can you omit: smart home, 3 bathrooms, basement, sauna, balconies, dormers, etc.
- cannot omit: view to the south / southeast

Why is the design as it is now?
After countless drafts, we have now really fallen in love with this rough concept.
A mix of many examples from various magazines...
What makes it particularly good or bad in your opinion?
The plot offers a great view to the south.
So far the unknown factor is the neighbors’ development. We want to plan so that it does not really matter how they build without restricting us much.

What is the most important/basic question about the floor plan summarized in 130 characters?
Of course, we would like some basic suggestions about the floor plan.
Too small, too large, senselessly planned...

We have tried to create simple structures. We don't need any special frills.
The main living area will be the primary room.

Do you think the children’s room sizes are sufficient? How is the lighting there? The windows were just roughly drawn in. Should / must skylights still be added there?
Before we add all the furniture, we would like to know in advance if the basic planning could work.
We have already placed the little house (still with rotated ridge) on the plot.

We are already looking forward to an engaging discussion and are open to every suggestion.

Best regards,
Matthias

PS: Just noticed I forgot the window in the dressing room; of course, it will be added later.

Maybe I should wait until the neighbor has built before starting my design.

If you wait, you might be waiting forever.

Maybe something like this?:

Looks very interesting...

Now we’re heading in the right direction!

No one mentioned anything about airspace.

@kaho674 I really like your suggestion! I would personally swap the living room and kitchen, because I’d prefer to have the kitchen facing the garden and would be fine with the living room on the west side, but that’s a matter of personal taste.

How about the entrance? That is part of the building envelope, right?
Does the garage roof also need to be insulated then?
Ah, roof cavities are such a nice feature.

Yes, there are still options. If you’re real motorcycle enthusiasts, you could install a wide window in the hallway to view the bikes. That would be fun:

Definitely above the entrance. We have the same situation; one side is insulated, the other is not.
