Hello everyone,
My wife and I are in the process of building a house for ourselves and our three children.
We have a design from our architect that we would like to discuss.
Please ignore the furniture shown; these are just placeholders. The detailed planning for that is still to come.
Development Plan / Restrictions
Plot size: 6000m2 (60x100), house will be roughly in the center
Main entrance from the west
No slope on the site
Number of floors: 1 plus attic
No special restrictions
Owners’ Requirements
Classic single-family home
Roof type: half-hipped roof
No basement, two fully usable floors
2 adults in early 30s, 2 children (2/5 years old) + 1 planned
Space requirements: see design
Office: occasional need for a study room
Closed kitchen
6 dining seats in the kitchen
12 dining seats in the living/dining room
Conservative construction style
Fireplace in the living room, fireplace in reading corner of attic
Underfloor heating
Garage and heating room already existing in an outbuilding
House Design
Who created the design:
Rough draft by us, inspired by various floor plans, executed by the architect.
Solid construction: Poroton blocks inside, brick outside
What we especially like: the ground floor in general, the large kitchen
What we don’t like: the children’s rooms in the attic are a bit too large.
Our Questions:
What can be improved? What is absolutely unacceptable?
Will the rooms have enough natural daylight?
Thank you very much in advance!

Yvonne explained very well how it is with the bedrooms ... you can clearly see that.
The child’s bedroom on the left and the middle one both have dark rooms, especially in winter ... no sunlight at all. And the middle child’s room, which is almost 27 sqm (290 sq ft), has a window smaller than 2 sqm (22 sq ft).
The north arrow is one thing, the plot is large, but we don’t know what it looks like, what the surroundings are like, or what else is planned for the property. All of this information is essential for designing the floor plan. We still need to reconsider the bedrooms.
At the moment, our bed is under a slope that is about 30 cm (12 inches) lower, and there is no risk of hitting your head there. 😉
For the middle room, we thought of replacing the window with a patio door.
That would increase the window area from 6.5% to 15%. Of course, the main entrance would then need to be redesigned as well.
I have extended the site plan somewhat.

I have expanded the site plan a bit.... and once again it’s not oriented to north – you just can’t work like that!https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

Haha... Walk-in closet... where?
Because you want privacy when you have to use the bathroom at night coming from the bedroom. And a staircase is the main traffic area in a single-family house.
I would simply swap the stairs and the half bathroom...
Then she should either avoid the kitchen or you should just make a kitchenette and rely on food delivery 😉 The privacy point is a good argument, we hadn’t considered it that way, but it hasn’t been a problem in our current apartment so far.
Food delivery only works for extreme cravings. 😉

Do you really think that will work? I know the market in Poland quite well. Prices there have also skyrocketed. For about 500,000 PLN (Polish currency) you can get a small house to renovate. Sure... you would have double that... but for that scale?
Where exactly are you building? You can’t get 6,000 m2 (1.5 acres) just anywhere. Of course, it always depends on where you build.
Here in our area, for 500,000 to 600,000 PLN (Polish currency) you can get a turnkey 180 m² (1,940 sq ft) house including the plot.
As I said, the budget is only for the house. For example, I don’t include the driveway.
The land, water, electricity, and heat pump are already available in the outbuilding.
I just need to add a second heat pump module.
Construction is roughly west of Łódź.

Our bed is already 45/110 cm (18/43 inches) high, and that’s not unusual! Sorry, but I can’t follow your explanations.Similar topics
