Hello dear forum members,
we would also like to share our design with you as a reference.
The plot is number 84 according to the plan. (It will still be expanded to 504m² (5415 ft²))
Location is Baden-Württemberg.
But first, the essential key data:
Development Plan / Restrictions
Plot size: 504m² (5415 ft²) - 17.7m x 28.5m (58 ft x 94 ft)
Slope: No
Site occupancy index: 0.4
Floor area ratio:
Building window, building line and boundary: see plan
Edge development: according to Baden-Württemberg regulations (2m (6.5 ft)?)
Number of parking spaces: 2
Number of floors: Max. 2
Roof shape: Almost anything possible
Architectural style: Modern / Classic
Orientation: East / West
Maximum heights / Limits: Ridge height: 6.2m (20 ft); Eaves height: 8.6m (28 ft)
Other requirements
Client Requirements
Style, roof shape, building type: Classic Modern
Basement, floors: Basement not desired; floors 1.5 (knee wall 1.80m (5 ft 11 in))
Number of occupants, age: Currently 2 (36/27), planned 4
Space requirements EG (ground floor), OG (upper floor):
Office: family use
Overnight guests per year: Max 1-2
Open architecture
Modern construction
Open kitchen with island
Number of dining seats: 6-8
Fireplace: Welcome
Music / stereo wall
Balcony; roof terrace: Not necessary
Garage, carport: Garage size for 4 motorcycles and workshop
Utility garden, greenhouse: Not necessary
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.

Alessandro14 May 2020 15:21That is certainly possible. The disadvantage is that you end up messing up the nice entrance area with clothes.
I would rather move the utility room door further down and make the toilet accessible from the side, so that you can use the entire lower side of the toilet as a wardrobe.
Whether this works, however, you will only see once you have drawn in the furniture (especially bathroom furniture).

...I find the approach interesting. However, I admit I’m having trouble understanding the plans.
Maybe I’ll take a closer look at them this evening. But from a quick glance, I just can’t visualize the perspective view.
Perhaps it’s because I can’t quite get the orientation from the plans.
I would prefer a 2D plan, either oriented to true north or with a north arrow, well dimensioned and with realistic furniture.

The house and development plan look familiar to me – but from the green forum and from a few months ago. Correct guess, 11ant.
In coordination with our general contractor, we have scrapped the old preliminary floor plan once again.
Since everything is on hold due to COVID-19 anyway, I’m happy to use this time productively. And I actually enjoy designing!

Perhaps it’s because I’m struggling to align the orientation with the plans.
I would prefer a 2D plan, oriented to true north or at least with a north arrow, with clearer dimensions and realistic furniture. Face, I always try to set it with north orientation. So the entrance door at the top is north.
In the entrance thread, you can see the building permit plan oriented to north.
@Alessandro
Unfortunately, I can hardly move the utility room door downward because that’s where the staircase will be…
We also tried positioning the WC door along the longer side, but somehow the WC felt too narrow that way.

Where is the entrance door located in the view?

And am I the only one who only sees small sections? I need to see the whole layout... I really can’t imagine it this way.
