Hello everyone,
thank you very much for the first feedback.
Nice draft... I like it. 500k including incidental building costs and architect? That’s too tight. House alone ~ 500k plus 50k architect (HOAI) plus 50k incidental building costs is more realistic. KNX easily adds another 30..35k on top of electrical. Ground probe heat pump, controlled residential ventilation, and water softening system also add up to about 50k. Many architects do not start with such a high price... so be careful. We just went through all this. 225sqm including attic, garage 470k plus architect plus 150k incidental building costs (KNX, controlled residential ventilation and so on).
Regards, Steffen
Hello Steffen, thank you.
You are right, in addition to the 500k there is still quite a bit:
+ 5,000 euros architect (is a friend)
+ incidental building costs
+ 35,000 euros KNX
+ 20,000 euros ground probe heat pump
+ 15,000 euros controlled residential ventilation
+ 2,000 euros water softening system
+ 20,000 euros reserve for bathroom and stairs
Overall it seems a bit convoluted to me. In many places a smaller rectangle was added to a rectangle (cube) in order to achieve certain functions (kitchen-pantry, sleeping-dressing room, office-utility room ...). This sometimes leads to "strange"(?) traffic routes. Often you walk through corridors.
Example:
- The guest to the guest bathroom
- The resident from the couch to the toilet
- The homeowner to his bed
- Back and forth to the office
- Guests to the office (meeting room?)
If I think about it longer, I would redesign. Smaller office (but: only you know how many guests come to meetings at the same time), better access to the office, generally smooth out corners and edges.
Hello Bieber, thank you.
The office is intentionally designed like this, that’s where I earn the money for all this luxury.
Why convoluted? We tried especially hard to keep it clear.
The dressing room immediately caught my eye too. I would extend the right wall of the dressing room and plan it as a walk-through room to the bedroom. That way you don’t have to go through a corridor to the bed so much, but I also agree with bieber0815 that it is a bit too convoluted.
Hello j.bautsch, thank you.
We explicitly did not want to do that for the following reasons:
1. Then we would have to overcome two doors at a distance of about 2 meters (would be like an airlock and especially at night when you want to go to the toilet, a total nuisance).
2. Dust transport... clothing generates a lot of dust and textile lint, especially when putting on or taking off clothes. I don’t want to constantly spread those particles through the apartment when I go through the dressing room. They should stay in the dressing room (door closed).
