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.

I also like the layout.

However, as much as floor-to-ceiling windows let in natural light, they also allow people to look inside. Therefore, I would reconsider having floor-to-ceiling windows in the dressing room and children’s bedrooms.

For the dressing room, simply because people might be walking around naked.

And for the children’s rooms, the planned furniture arrangement shows desks placed in front of the windows, which could look somewhat messy from the outside. Also, children grow into teenagers who might want to relax on the bed or a chair without being observed. With floor-to-ceiling windows, the only option is to block the view. Windows with a sill height of about 80 cm (32 inches) provide more privacy in these cases.

Nice cabin, beautiful plot. What income do you need to afford something like this?
