Hello everyone,
After speaking with several home builders over the past few weeks, we are gradually getting a clearer idea of who we could see ourselves working with on this project (and especially who we definitely would not). Attached is a floor plan that we received from the designer in a similar form and already liked very much. We have now adjusted it a bit more to fit our needs.
What do you think? Where could it still be improved?
We definitely want to build with a basement (we are currently waiting for the results of the soil survey), as we need space for a large music/dance room (my husband is an amateur musician, I am a dancer) and also a guest room (our parents both live far away and often stay for longer periods). The basement would also include a utility room, technical equipment, seasonal clothing storage, etc.
By the way, there is a roof terrace planned above the carport, which is why there is a door in the bedroom.
Unfortunately, I didn’t manage to display the room dimensions (does anyone know if this can be done in RoomSketcher?). The external dimensions of the house currently are approximately 10.47 x 8.22 meters (34.3 x 27 feet).
The plot is about 26 x 27 meters (85 x 89 feet), although part of the northeast corner is taken up by a turning area. We are currently planning the entrance from the other street to avoid a long driveway on the property. This has already been approved (and implemented) by the neighbor.
There is also a slight slope towards the southwest side of roughly 1.5 meters (5 feet) over the length of 27 meters (89 feet).
The furniture shown (except for the kitchen and children’s room) already corresponds to what we own.
Oh, and “we” currently means my husband, our 21-month-old daughter, and me. Another child is in the works ;-)
Thanks in advance for your feedback!
Sunny greetings,
Sandra

I don’t want to be picky, but where exactly is the kitchen in the southeast? The kitchen is actually in the south.Yes, you are right. However, considering the benefits of enjoying living space in the evening and capturing morning and midday sun in the kitchen, it is well positioned 🙂
Thank you for your opinions!
Would you place a full bathroom with a toilet in the basement? One of the home builders suggested installing only a shower and a sink downstairs, which would probably eliminate the need for a sewage pump. We didn’t pursue this further because we found the idea of having no toilet there strange. It somehow feels like a wet room 🤨
@lastdrop: I really can’t answer that 😳 Since the planner positioned the bathroom there, I assume they have considered it?! But thanks for the hint, I will ask for clarification in the next meeting!
