House Design
Designed by: architect
- What do you particularly like? Why? Tunnel fireplace and the open kitchen, the dressing room with door to the bathroom
Cost estimate according to architect/planner: 450,000
Personal budget limit for the house, including equipment: 600,000
Preferred heating system: pellets

Why was the design made this way? For example:
Standard design from planner? We expressed our wishes
Which of our wishes were implemented by the architect?

What is the most important/basic question about the floor plan in 130 characters?

Hello everyone. We worked on two versions with our architect and aren’t sure which we prefer. There is a stove bench next to the stove in both.
The windows throughout the house are not final yet; we still need to discuss them.
We plan to build a carport between the house and garage. Do you think the kitchen window makes sense even though it basically faces the carport? We think at least you can see the children playing and who is arriving.
To the east is a single-family house, to the south a large meadow, and to the west the street, which is very quiet since it is a rural area.
This is my first post; I hope I’ve done everything correctly—if not, please forgive me in advance.

Looking forward to your suggestions. Best regards

I didn’t mean identical twins that anyone could confuse with each other. More like in the "spirit" of how I believe the original poster envisions the result; and otherwise (but only reduced to the type) in house design and carport. My gut feeling is that they will be similar in price. Would you like to estimate the budget "after billing" here?

Uh, from my experience it depends on the region. In Lower Saxony near North Rhine-Westphalia, in a rural area, the house could probably be done for 450,000 including the basement but excluding the land. We paid 350,000 without a basement, but some of the work we did ourselves. Maybe that helps.

What is the purpose of the red area?

Exactly what I meant. On the Enterprise, the doors are self-closing, even with the most delicate "whoosh" sound there is in recording studios. I share Yvonne’s assessment that in reality they don’t work so smoothly or intuitively. Tell us about your self-closing mechanism and the costs involved (and whether it’s elegant enough to use on the corridor/sitting area door that runs along the wall—otherwise I can’t imagine that door staying closed for long).

Before, there was nothing there—just an open passage. We once thought having everything open was great. Right next to the door on the right, the stairs ran straight through the living room.

By now, everything is closed off (the open space, the passage, and the stairs are no longer part of the living room).

The best investment was the glass sliding door (DIY), which by the way is never left open.

Feelings can be subjective... by the way, I have a sliding door and a sliding door should be closed gently and consciously. Opening is a bit rougher, but you just can’t do it with your elbow or rear end.

That’s right. If it closes a little too forcefully, the automatic mechanism in my door reliably slows it down.

We want to have a door to the kitchen. I also think that it is unfortunately poorly designed.
