Site occupancy index
0.4
Floor space index
0.8
Building window, building line and boundary
Front distance 3m (in the floor plan) windows from there 16m - so 19m from the border

Number of floors
2 full floors
Roof shape
no flat roof
Architectural style
City villa
Orientation
Maximum heights / limits
TH 6.5m FH 10.5m - street reference point (middle)
Other specifications
Requirements of the builders
Style, roof shape, building type
City villa is fixed - roof shape hip (no tent)
Basement, floors
No basement, but 2 full floors (usable space under the roof?)
Number of persons, age
36+32+2+planned
Room requirements in ground floor, upper floor
GF: Cooking, eating, living + office/bath + technical utility room
UF: Bedroom, 2 children's rooms, 2 bathrooms, children's bathroom in front of utility room on the upper floor - Are opponents of dryers and laundry goes outside anyway, so washing on the upper floor is pointless and considered.
Office: family use or home office?
Mandatory: Both can work 100% in home office
Guests per year
Plenty - mostly 2 guests approx. 2-3 weekends per month
Open or closed architecture
Open: open kitchen, air space
Conservative or modern construction
Doesn't matter
Open kitchen, cooking island
L-counter rather than island, but open.
Number of dining seats
8
Fireplace
Should be
Music/stereo wall
Unnecessary
Balcony, roof terrace
Not necessary upstairs
Garage, carport
Double garage
Utility garden, greenhouse
Exists, next to garage with lift reachable in few minutes and owned
Further wishes/particularities/daily routine, also reasons why this or that should or shouldn’t be
1. My wife cannot use straight stairs, spiral/landing mandatory
2. Air space and lots of light mandatory
3. Fireplace desired.
4. We can work a lot at home and do so. Currently, an adult is always at home during the day: Priority ground floor living, upper floor sleeping
5. Utility room in the upper floor not to be suggested. We are outdoor dryers
House design
Who did the planning:
- Do-it-Yourself: My wife and I + the software ArchiCAD of an acquaintance
What do you particularly like? Why?
5.4-6m windows are a must. / separability of office + living area.
Use of the 17m width
Children's rooms with about 16sqm each + air space and usable traffic area next to it.
What do you not like? Why?
All 3 bathrooms - we need input here and pantry or use room under stairs?
Price estimate according to architect/planner:
Not available
Personal price limit for the house, incl. equipment:
500K - land is already owned including additional costs
Preferred heating technology:
Gas condensing or air heat pump competing
If you have to do without, which details/extensions
- can you do without:
Shower in guest WC
Pantry - possibly stairs and utility room usable
- cannot do without:
Bathtub, dressing room, window to terrace.
Why has the design become what it is now? For example
A mixture of many examples from various magazines...
and your input here.
What makes it, in your eyes, particularly good or bad?
We love the way down the stairs straight into the kitchen.
Up to 6m windows
Dressing room 3m length / usability with bathroom
Little traffic area
What is the most important/basic question about the floor plan summarized in 130 characters?
- The upper bathroom(s)? Help with arrangement including window
Priority 1!!
- Structural load capacity above the 5-6m sliding window in the ground floor
Priority 2
- Utility room and technical room still one / partition wall to the “dark” technical room possible
- Air space upstairs possibly 17m walls?
- How to use the space under the stairs? Can the hallway disappear into the kitchen? Even push a wall to the stairs?
- Maximum ceiling height light with 6.5m TH?
- Pantry? Yes/no?
What I can do without:
Discussion about air space. Yes odor, noise versus open. Is a conscious decision
Note: We decided to build in June.
Property purchased and during vacation early July began to consider.
Now the first own idea exists, also after reading many tips here, but overall we have only been working on it for about 6 weeks
