SandoDevelopment Plan / Restrictions
Development plan Nauen NAU 28/95 Verlängerte Ziegelstrasse
Plot size: 664 sqm (7150 sq ft)
Slope: no
Site coverage ratio: 0.4, floor area ratio: 0.8
Building envelope, building line and boundary: detached construction
Setback from boundaries: standard 3 m (10 ft)
Number of floors: 2 full stories
Roof style: any
Architectural style: classic / modern
Maximum heights / limits: none relevant as far as I could find
Other requirements: 1 tree and 15 shrubs must be planted
The site is flat (former farmland), no trees, no unevenness.
Soil report: clayey, high groundwater level but non-toxic.
Homeowners’ requirements
Architectural style: clean lines but not Bauhaus, gable roof, solid build, no basement, 1.5 stories plus attic
Number of people: 4, ages 2x 40+ & 2 small children
Space requirements:
Ground floor: kitchen / living room / utility room and a guest room / office (later bedroom)
Upper floor: 2 children’s bedrooms, 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom
Architecture
Ground floor mostly open, at least kitchen / living room
Upper floor: large rooms, small hallway, closed
Open U-shaped kitchen, no kitchen island, dining spaces for 4–6 people
Garage, carport, well, garden shed, parking spaces and terrace will be added later.
They are planned but only for the building application.
Outdoor facilities: preparations such as electricity, empty conduits, soakaway(s) will be planned immediately.
Starting point: We assume our children will live here for at least the next 15 years (or even 25 years…) and that we will live in the house in old age.
Basis for house design:
Based on the house Milan by Helma.
Adaptations (which rooms go where, open/closed living room/kitchen, door / window placement, etc.)
have been made by us and coordinated with the architect only regarding feasibility so far.
The only exception is the upper floor bathroom, which we haven’t changed yet and comes from the architect.
A washing machine is to be included there as well.
What do we particularly like? Why?
Ground floor:
Large entrance hall, short walking distances and plenty of light.
Large kitchen with adjoining “family room” (living room)
Terrace access from living room and office
Age-appropriate, close to barrier-free design
Upper floor: large rooms, small hallway
A neighbor to the west whose house has not yet been built.
No neighbors to the east and south.
What don’t we like? Why?
Bathroom arrangement on the upper floor. Shower at the entrance and toilet behind? Hmm. Where to put the washing machine?
(Unfortunately we still lack the 2-meter (6.5 ft) rule line on the current plan..)
The rest is fine, though there are always aspects that can be limiting because we don’t know better or haven’t considered them.
Price estimate according to architect/planner: 265K
Personal price limit for the house including fixtures: 300K
Preferred heating technology: GAS (also because the connection is already installed) + controlled ventilation with heat recovery and solar.
Photovoltaics will be prepared.
Why is the design as it is now?
After many attempts to buy an existing property, many viewings and research into what we want (what we would like and afford are always different things…), we have now reached a stage where most of our important points are included in the floor plan.
What is the most important / fundamental question about the floor plan in 130 characters?
Do you see any deal breakers? Excesses, errors in thinking, incorrect distances, is something missing or too much?
Nothing is set in stone yet, and before it gets that far we’d like to read your opinions. We welcome criticism, suggestions, confirmation, and fruitful discussions.
Thank you and best regards

P.S. Living room / guest room faces south towards the terrace, entrance is on the north side.
3D pictures: The exterior is completely designed by the architect and does not reflect our planning.
But for better visualization of windows / doors I find them acceptable.

chand19868 May 2018 16:42I cannot open the plans as a .pdf on my phone. A .jpg would be more practical.
sven.conzi8 May 2018 16:42Please upload everything as jpg files.
@sven.conzi, I can do that gladly, but unfortunately only when I’m back home this evening. Did I miss something regarding the rules?
@sabine, thanks! And yes, we like it because then nothing can be left standing around there. And yes, we already put in some furniture, although not much will be placed there. Dining table with bench + 2 chairs and a 3-seat sofa, plus 2-3 sideboards and a TV.

I am waiting for the floor plan image files, but I already find the elevations to be more clever than the original model, despite their simplicity.
