Good morning,
we intend to build on the south slope. The plot offers an unrestricted distant view. Here is a design with the architect, which is however too large/too expensive (600 k€) and therefore needs to be reduced. I would generally like to hear from you what you think about it. Note: In the upstairs bedroom there is space to also place a toddler bed/baby cot, which will probably be necessary at first.
Size of the plot: 850 sqm on a slope
Number of floors: basement, ground floor, attic
Roof type: gable roof
Style: modern, simply "Barn House"
Orientation: south (the plans are oriented north)
Number of people, age: 2 x 30 years, two children in toddler age
Space requirements on ground floor, upper floor
Office: home office
Overnight guests per year: on average 1 night per month
Open or closed architecture: very open and modern desired
Number of dining seats: 8 with cooking island, as we like to cook and sit with friends
Fireplace, small loggia upstairs at the bedroom and carport desired
Who designed it: architectural firm
What do you particularly like? Cozy seating area and the openness through the high ceiling on the ground floor, the solution in the bedroom to have a phenomenal view and to separate dressing room/bedroom, the seating window in the living room
What do you not like? We are not so sure about the exterior view, somehow we are still undecided here. It should be plastered, but possibly completely gray or partly worked with wooden cladding.
Price estimate according to architect/planner: 600 k€ with everything (except the plot, which is ours)
Personal price limit for the house, including equipment: 500 k€
Preferred heating technology: geothermal heat pump or simply gas
The house is still to be reduced in size by removing the corridor upstairs in the living room and thus the house will be about 1.5 m narrower. In the basement, the vestibule will be cut off and the terrace will then no longer be on the basement but directly on the ground.
My question to you:
Do you have any further ideas for savings regarding the floor plan?
Ideas in general about the type of floor plan, what would you change?
The picture shows the distant view at the neighbor’s.
