House Design
Who Designed it: Architect from a construction company
What Do You Like Most? Why? Side driveway to garage, direct access from garage to house, separate apartment concept, open ground floor design, upper floor is perfect in our opinion, gallery
What Do You Like Least? Why? Living/dining area is somewhat too large (wife worries it may be hard to arrange cozily), bedroom window position in the separate apartment is tricky, (north entrance → long access route for guests)
Preferred Heating System: Air-to-water heat pump + photovoltaic system + battery storage
If You Have to Cut Back, On Which Details / Extensions
- Can be cut: Office on upper floor, a few square meters in living/dining area
- Cannot be cut: Remaining room program
Why Has the Design Turned Out As It Is Now?
The room program was provided by us. Furthermore, many requirements and the plot itself influenced the design.
Why Was the Drawing Created in Sweet Home 3D?
The architect’s design is drawn to scale but not dimensioned, so I transferred it to SH3D.
What Is the Most Important / Fundamental Question About the Floor Plan, Summarized in 130 Characters?
What do you think of the floor plan? Any ideas on how to make the large living/dining area feel cozier?

I don’t understand the laundry chute. We had planned it from the bathroom on the upper floor and ground floor to the storage room in the basementFirst of all, nothing is drawn in.
Secondly, why would the dirty laundry be in the storage room? Who knows what that room will be used for in the future...
The laundry should end up where it is washed; otherwise, you’ll have to carry it back downstairs through two doors anyway [emoji848][emoji44]
Great design overall. However, some of the windows seem a bit modest in size. I agree with Yvonne about the living room; I would add a window on the west side as well. The bathroom also looks quite dark to me.
What worries me are the costs for the exterior landscaping. It looks impressive, but probably expensive.

Very beautiful design. Only the windows seem a bit sparse in places. I agree with Yvonne about the living room. I would also add a window on the west side there. I also find the bathroom quite dark. What worries me are the costs for the landscaping. It looks incredible. Thanks, yes, we are possibly planning to add a seating window next to the fireplace in the living room and reduce the floor-to-ceiling windows on the north side to a sill height of 50 cm (20 inches) or 90 cm (35 inches).
We also have a window seat, and looking back, that was the best decision. A floor-to-ceiling window wouldn’t have offered any advantage in that spot, and this way it’s just really cozy!
I would also consider adding a green roof on the parts where the ground floor extends out. We’ll be checking that out soon from the window seat as well!
Great design – I really like it!
However, I share the same concerns as Katja: what will the landscaping costs be? But it does look great.
