Hello, we would appreciate some suggestions and tips. This is the first draft, so there is certainly room for improvement. Thank you.

Attached are the details:

Development plan / restrictions
Plot size approx. 600 sqm (6,458 sq ft)
Slope - 10% incline
Site coverage ratio 0.35
Floor area ratio 0.5
Building envelope, setback, and boundary 15 x 15 m (49 x 49 ft)
Number of parking spaces 2
Number of stories 2
Roof type FD
Maximum height 6.30 m (20.7 ft)

Client requirements
Style, roof type, building type
Basement, number of floors: rather no
Number of occupants, age: 2, approx. 35 years
Space requirements on ground floor and upper floor
Office: family use or home office? Home office
Overnight guests per year: no idea
Open or closed architecture: open
Conservative or modern construction: modern
Open kitchen, kitchen island: rather yes
Number of dining seats: 6
Fireplace: no
Music/stereo wall: possibly
Balcony, roof terrace: no
Garage, carport: both

House design
Planner: DIY
Estimated cost according to architect/planner: 450,000 euros (house including ancillary costs)
Preferred heating system: air-to-water heat pump with underfloor heating

Why is the design the way it is now? Previously lived in an old building with 3.5 m (11.5 ft) ceiling height and very large rooms; tried to replicate the room sizes at least partially; bedroom is deliberately located on the south side for a better view

I don’t understand the discussion now.

If you improve this design, you can definitely save at least 20 sqm (215 sq ft).
If you leave out this cost-intensive conservatory and construct the walls as load-bearing, you will end up with a completely different total... even if you possibly have a different layout with a basement.
The basis for this is clearly flawed.

In my opinion, you don’t need to. There is too little serious substance in the design to even consider thinking about improvements or similar. 190m² (2,045 sq ft) on a slope for half a million, but only a self-made amateur draft?

@ TE: It doesn’t exactly look like you studied architecture or quickly learned the basics in a crash course. So, ask again once you have a design from an architect. With this budget, few people here are interested in discussing preliminary sketches.

To be honest, it was about suggestions for improvement and things to watch out for – like the wall thickness, for example. But it seems that people here are mostly out of place in that regard. The location is Villingen Schwenningen. However, I don’t understand why everyone focuses so much on the budget – honestly, that is secondary when it comes to planning or generating ideas.

No, of course you’re absolutely right here. However, in my opinion, the design is still too preliminary for a detailed discussion. If you have a sloped site, you first need to include the terrain in your considerations. If readers can’t see anything about that, it’s fair to wonder what exactly to discuss, especially if the facts might soon change everything.

The situation would definitely look different if you uploaded a site plan with elevation details. Ideally, include views that show how you plan to integrate the house into the slope.

And if you’re just concerned about wall thickness: for an initial design, it’s best to plan exterior walls at 40cm (16 inches) and interior walls at 20cm (8 inches). That’s easy to remember and rarely goes wrong.

VS at least reassures me that 450k will be enough solely for the house. Everything else see @kaho674

I have nothing against passionate DIY builders; you don’t have to be poor to qualify for that. What can be discouraging, however, is resistance to advice:

How can anyone help you if you only want to hear answers related to wall thickness and the like? Secondly, your design remains flawed even if someone tells you exactly where to place the heat pump; and first, no one can improve it if you doubt the relevance of follow-up questions.

Hardly anything is more essential to the feasibility of plans than that. The budget is a relative figure, and the region is one of the most challenging factors.
