ᐅ Uncertainties regarding size, planning is otherwise mostly complete.

Good morning!

We are about to finalize the planning for our single-family house; we want to build 1.5 stories with a knee wall of 150 cm (59 inches), keeping it as compact as possible. So far, we have been very satisfied with the design from the planner of the construction company, but now that I’m working on the interior layout, the combined living-dining-kitchen area feels a bit cramped. We definitely want a seating corner in the dining area, but I’m afraid that might be difficult to fit (kitchen + seating area). Now I’m considering whether we should generally enlarge the house so everything fits comfortably (from 10.13 x 9 m (33.3 x 29.5 ft) to 11 x 9.5 m (36 x 31 ft)). Maybe someone here has some helpful tips?

The house has a basement, the clear room height in the living areas is 260 cm (102 inches), and a pitched roof with dormer and a 35° slope is planned. The plot is about 900 m² (9700 sq ft), with a 3-meter (10 ft) setback required from the neighbors. Two parking spaces (carport) at the front by the street are included in the plan. Thank you very much and best regards

About 280€ per m2 (approximately $300 per sq ft) seems quite high to me.

Additionally, there are regulations regarding the design of the facade.

And this is for a former barracks property.

There are also slightly cheaper options – what is considered a lot depends on the location; for "here," it is not much.

It can always get more expensive, since we are located near the Porsche and Mercedes area. In established residential neighborhoods, current prices are between 340-400€ (about $365-$430).

Crazy world.

I can’t see your location on the phone. So where exactly is "here?"

As someone from northern Germany, I have no interest in those houses...

Personally, I don't like the houses at all. They look modern, okay. But what is modern changes quickly, and the buildings seem inflexible. The plots of land are not expensive at all.

I completely agree. Not everything designed to look modern has to be appealing or stylish. To me, they mostly look like modular building blocks, more or less like a Lego set.

Anyone living this close to the highway will definitely lock up everything that can be locked. The closer you are to the highway, the higher the burglary rate. In Bavaria, things still seem to be alright in this regard...
