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?

Just a word about the entrance on the ground floor, [...] you also have to clear and grit such a stupid outside staircase. An entrance on the "ground floor" makes sense on a sloped site where the road runs along the uphill side. But here, you have to walk all around the house – like the Exodus on foot, or the journey to Canossa. Maybe nice for castle actors, but rather inconvenient in everyday life. The delivery driver would probably prefer to leave packages with the neighbor.

Here are the new plans. Where exactly is the entrance located in the two (identical?) "ground floors" now, or has it been moved downstairs?
The staircase is now more or less perpendicular to the slope – whatever you prefer...

Doesn’t the terrace now block the last bit of light in the basement?
The foyer on the ground floor is too large. The area around the staircase and the WC looks like a leftover space.
I don’t like the upper floor at all.
The children’s rooms are different sizes. I find the smaller child’s room too small considering the total living area.
The master bedroom with dressing room takes up almost 24 sqm (260 sq ft) just for sleeping and clothes storage.
The children have 14 sqm (150 sq ft) and 17 sqm (183 sq ft) respectively for sleeping, clothes, playing, meeting friends, homework, and studying.
I don’t like the layout of the upper floor, especially the hallway.
Don’t take this the wrong way, but to me the floor plan just looks like a series of wish-list items connected by an awkward hallway/foyer. This results in some houses with much less square meters having similarly sized living spaces that are more ergonomic to live in.
Also keep in mind that earthworks cost money. Every shovel of soil that’s dug out has to be transported away. Every cubic meter (cubic yard) of fill material has to be delivered on site.
Every outdoor stair step has to be kept clear of snow and ice.
My in-laws have a long outside staircase. Every winter they hang a chain across it to prevent falls. The postman rings the doorbell at the bottom of the stairs; children, in-laws, and in winter everyone who needs to enter the house uses the route through the basement.
My parents covered their outside staircase with a huge glass canopy to protect it from the weather. Effective but visually unusual and costly.
