Hello everyone,
I would like to share our current house planning and hear/read your ideas.
Development Plan / Restrictions
Plot size: 436 m² (4700 sq ft)
Slope: no, flat
Site occupancy index: 0.4
Floor area ratio: n/a
Building envelope, building line, and boundary: free on the plot, only 3m (10 ft) distance required
Edge development
Number of parking spaces: 2 parking spaces
Number of floors: 2 full stories
Roof shape: anything allowed from 20°
Architectural style: free
Orientation:
Maximum height / limits: 11m (36 ft)
Other requirements
Client Requirements
Style, roof type, building type: classic, gable roof (45°)
Basement, floors: basement, ground floor, upper floor
Number of people, ages: 36, 35, 2.5 (number 2 is planned and desired)
Room requirements on ground and upper floors: see floor plan
Office: family use or home office? Home office (work from home)
Overnight guests per year: approx. 15-20
Open or closed architecture: relatively open
Conservative or modern construction: modern?
Open kitchen, kitchen island: open kitchen, no island
Number of dining seats: 6-8
Fireplace: later
Music / stereo wall:
Balcony, roof terrace: no
Garage, carport: yes, but type unclear. Possibly a single carport to be expanded into a garage
Utility garden, greenhouse: classic tomato and strawberry bed
Other wishes / special features / daily routine: due to home working, spatial separation is essential. My wife sometimes works night shifts, so being able to sleep during the day is necessary.
House Design
Who designed the plan: “off the shelf,” own ideas
What do you like most? The 4 rooms on the upper floor, the open living/dining/kitchen area
What do you dislike? the current upstairs floor plan
Price estimate according to architect/planner:
Personal price limit for the house, including fittings:
Preferred heating system: currently air-to-water heat pump, but not fixed
If you had to give up details / extensions:
- can give up: garage/carport
- cannot give up: basement, home office, pantry
In our own planning, we have designed the doors to the office and bathroom on the ground floor to be 1m (39 inches) wide to ensure accessibility.
We are still unsure about the large window front in the living room.
For the upper floor, we will shortly receive another floor plan (from a show home) that we like much better.
I am very curious about your feedback on our ground floor planning and whether you have any suggestions for the upper floor.
If you have questions about the notes, just ask.
Best regards,
Robin

The windows shouldn’t cost more, that’s standard.I’ll ask again, but I’ll take your word for it for now. Of course, it also depends on what the other part of the construction project (the one that cleans the windows) has to say about it.

For the bathroom: please post the bathroom discussion separately in the forum.Do you mean starting a new thread here or do you mean a different forum?

The staircase looks very short... it should really be around 220 cm (87 inches).I’m not sure if I’ve posted these before, but attached are some pictures of the staircase.
It will be the same design, with stainless steel rods and oak.
So, a quick update:
We still like the floor plan. Now questions are arising about the plot of land (different thread, possibly a different foundation necessary). The provider is not responding in a way that suits us. Therefore, we are starting to disagree a bit.
Let’s see what the next 1-2 weeks will bring.

The staircase in the photos is too small. How do you get a wardrobe or a bed box up there?
According to the tiles, the staircase opening is just 1.80 meters (5 ft 11 in) and the tread width is under 85 cm (33 inches).
14 steps is also too few for comfortable and safe walking.
