Building plan 160m² living area and gable roof - suggestions for improvement?

- What should the white partition walls look like?
- what exactly do you mean?
- How big is the passage from kitchen to storage?
- the passage will be quite narrow, but that depends on the plan to do it as in the attachment

Are these room-height drywall walls or furniture?
The door remains a door. If you want to walk through there, you should plan at least 80cm door width – no matter if they are real walls or "furniture walls".

- Is the technical room outside the thermal envelope or how is that planned?
- yes, is that a problem?

In my opinion, yes.

- Hallway below dark as at night -
- a very high window is planned at the stairs

Ok. But the study should additionally get a door with a large glass panel. What matters is the light in front of the wardrobe. Guests and you take off jackets there and always have to turn the light on. That’s annoying.

- The kink for the bathroom door on the upper floor takes light from the hallway and brings hardly any benefit to the bathroom – get rid of it.
- behind the door should be a small cabinet or towel dryer. Otherwise, we lack space.

Nonsense. The door can swing in front of the cabinet. On the contrary, if there is such a lack of space, you simply let it swing in front of the shower and can then still place a cabinet in the hallway.

- I have to think about it, actually find it practical not to let all the cold in with the gate.

Welcome to the Energy Saving Ordinance 2019. I promise you, there is zero reason to be afraid of cold at the front door. On the contrary – you’ll be glad to let air in occasionally. It would be nice if it isn’t the exhaust fumes from the garage though.

- I wanted to, but I’m not allowed because the garage can be max 9m long if it stands on the neighbor’s boundary.

Understood. The utility room (HAR) at the back is, in my opinion, completely misplanned.
1. It probably has to be inside the thermal envelope
2. It should have direct lines to the street
3. It should be integrated into the house to also use it maximally as a storage room.
I don’t think it can be built outside the house in addition to the 160m².

Otherwise, thank you very much! It’s quite matter-of-fact here, in another forum you almost get insulted

Maybe you should read your floor plan discussion once unannounced and as a third person. You are resistant to criticism. And since you don’t accept the criticism, you get a wrong impression. Statements like “do it better” don’t help you and are pure defiance. That a forum then is no longer helpful is a no-brainer.

Well then: read through your own answers here in blue:

big? - the passage will be quite narrow, but that’s because of the plan to do it like in the attachment

- Is the technical room outside the thermal envelope or how is that planned? - yes, is that a problem?

Hallway downstairs dark like at night - - a very tall window is planned at the staircase

the passage will be quite narrow, but that’s because of the plan to do it like in the attachment

yes, is that a problem?

a very tall window is planned at the staircase

behind the door there should be a small cabinet, or towel dryer. Otherwise, we lack space.

I wanted to, but I’m not allowed, since the garage may be max. 9m long if it borders the neighbor’s property line.

(I think I have some things repeated now, unfortunately not manageable otherwise on mobile) These are all statements that show the design is in serious need of improvement. A corner niche for a towel holder OR cabinet, a hallway that gains little or no brightness from the window, a garage that no longer complies with the state building regulations, etc. A technical room that is somehow an add-on. And yes: it is a problem if it has to be part of the thermal envelope. But all can be built with coal, money, i.e. additional costs.

In summary, I can only advise to simply start over. Nothing will work if you shrink a large design. Every house and every plot should be considered individually, even if a standard house can be built there.

Where is south now?

As you can see, and are much more experienced with budgeting than I am – which is probably also reflected in our construction project – therefore, I definitely recommend considering these comments. Of course, you can still disregard them.

A technical room outside the thermal envelope usually costs energy efficiency, and the distance to the street makes the house connection more expensive.

Omitting the internal connection to the garage saves energy costs. Apart from the fact that I am not a garage-attached-to-house enthusiast, I know such a solution from my grandparents’ former house and didn’t find it bad, since apples, drinks, and potatoes stored cool in the garage were accessible without leaving the house.

The more walls of the upper floor rest on walls of the lower floor, the more affordable it is to create a proper statics. A roof over the house that has no interior walls for support costs significantly more (I could tell you about that).

With coal, money, i.e. extra costs, everything can be built.

It’s just unfortunate when you’re in the mood for champagne and your wallet is only loaded for a also quite tasty beer.

Where is south now?

Left on the plan, I think.

... that I am not a garage-attached-to-the-house fetishist, I know such a solution from my grandparents’ former house and didn’t find it silly, since apples, drinks, and potatoes, which were stored cool in the garage, were accessible without leaving the house.

My grandma also has such a laundry room. However, it is not connected to car exhaust. Who wants apples and potatoes tasting like gasoline? Or is this fully planned for electric cars here? Otherwise, there is a pantry without heating for that purpose.
