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?

The surcharge for aluminum is 25k. Where is the added value? Worse insulation values? The surcharge seems excessively high to me; I have previously worked for an aluminum window manufacturer. Aluminum should cost roughly 20% more, so 25k doesn’t add up. The insulation values of the frame profiles don’t make a difference, as aluminum windows today are designed differently than in 1970.
For large-area windows, sliding doors, and front doors, I would only choose aluminum. Plastic looks good for the first three to maybe five years— even experts admittedly need glasses to see the difference. But after about fifteen years, plastic frame profiles start to look slightly worn, while aluminum still looks brand new after forty years.
Windows should match the architectural quality of the house. Using plastic here feels like putting plastic hubcaps on a Mercedes. It drives perfectly fine, no question. But it does have a bit of the vibe of chipped nail polish on a designer dress.

Looks good, although I also liked your post #68 and @kaho674’s post #73.
Since the site is also sloped, I would reconsider one thing: Is the light well of the office in the basement located at the highest point of the terrain? Would it be possible to swap the office with the technical/laundry room and somehow provide lighting to that room via a wider driveway?

The additional cost for aluminum windows seems far too high to me as well!
For large window areas and the sliding door, we chose wood-aluminum because I couldn’t accept such bulky plastic components.
In my opinion, that also clashes with the kind of building you are planning.
The wooden door in particular looks very elegant and, I believe, had a price increase of less than 1000 EUR compared to plastic-aluminum (at 5 m x 2.4 m (16.4 ft x 7.9 ft)).
In any case, I would choose aluminum for the exterior surfaces. In my apartment, there are 18-year-old white plastic windows. Seeing the exterior surfaces... I wouldn’t want to accept that on a new house anymore.

In my apartment, they are probably about the same age, and what “bothers” me more is the interior, where the surface feels noticeably rougher than when new. I used to work with aluminum windows that were twice as old and still had an unweathered surface on both sides.
