I would like to share the results of our work with the architect and get some feedback.
Five of us will be living in the house. Since we have a large circle of friends and are moving from the city to the countryside, hoping our friends will visit regularly, we have planned a guest room with an en-suite bathroom (shower, toilet). This room could later be used as a care room if one of our parents ends up living with us alone.
The heating system will be a ground-source heat pump and a water-based fireplace (on the ground floor). As the house is completely unshaded with one half of the roof fully facing south, we plan to cover that half extensively with photovoltaic panels. The house will be tall enough that the roof will hardly be visible.
The basement will be partly used for commercial purposes, including:
Hence the separate entrance. Alternatively, the basement could be converted into a holiday apartment if the use changes later.
We have also planned the washing machine and dryer in the basement, with a laundry chute from the upper floor through the ground floor down to the basement.
I am now looking forward to your ideas for optimization.

- a small office
- a naturopathic practice including a patient toilet

Hmm, there’s a lot of subjective taste involved here, and personally, I just can’t warm up to some of it. For example, I really don’t like these children’s sleeping nooks under the roof with no standing height at all. Making the beds becomes a real hassle. Whoever came up with this idea should, in my opinion, be punished. At first glance, it might seem “cool” and “cozy,” but in everyday life, all the climbing is just annoying, and once the kids get older, the perpetual child’s bed almost becomes embarrassing.
For a five-and-a-half-room house, the upper floor is simply too small. You can clearly see that the bedroom is a joke. There’s neither a wardrobe to store all the clothes (let alone bedding and so on) nor access to the bed from both sides. The sleeper on the wall bed has to jump in from the bottom. And in a new build at that price? The tiny bathroom is also pretty cramped; I wouldn’t want to have to dry myself there.
While the basement space is, in my opinion, generously wasted, the upper floors are all too tight. Why are there two large entrance halls downstairs? Just remove one and use that gained space for the guest room. The current guest room will become the bedroom, and the children can all have proper rooms upstairs. It’s also possible to extend the guest room into the living area (an exemption) and remove just the children’s bathroom on the upper floor. Make the hallway a bit narrower and have a normal four-bedroom layout with one bathroom. I find having to walk upstairs to shower less problematic than having to climb into bed or not having a wardrobe.
