Where does the floor plan shape actually come from (so why this one in particular) – an inspiration?
No, "those who have visions should go to the doctor" (Helmut Schmidt). ;) . If it were inspiration, I would probably have become an architect... :p
The long answer gladly by PM, the short one in pictures: after decades in the automotive industry, I have always found it disappointing that house design has not undergone a similar evolution in the last 40 years as car design has... harsh, right angles, no open angles over 90++, no dynamics, only statics... “RitterSportDesign” – some call it "instead-of-villa" :)... would anyone still buy the first picture? As a car? Hardly? So why as a house...
The slanted window front in the dining room eliminates two right angles and replaces them with open angles that enable the flowing transition between dining room and living room...
The recessed parallel terrace on the first floor avoids the horrible feeling of sitting on the garden terrace cornered between two 6.5–9.5m high brick walls at right angles and reduces the perceived height to one story = 3.3m.
If I keep writing, that would be the long PM answer :D ...
The origin goes back 15 years... long story.
