The absolutists regarding Bauhaus will always stick to "their" original style. The basic style is simply interpreted differently today. And especially as a homebuilder, I find that not only permissible and legitimate, but also reasonable. Everything evolves.
Personally, I then have much more difficulty with the so-called city villas. They often orient themselves to the imperatively dictated square form and almost never allow the rooms to be designed really optimally.

As for me, I started from scratch. Simply reviewed the restrictions of the development plan and the building site. Then started with the space requirements. Which rooms do we want, which on the upper floor, which on the ground floor (still completely without restrictions). When you start like that, there are usually not the same space requirements on the ground floor and upper floor. It becomes tricky when those on the upper floor are larger (but there are solutions for that as well).
Whoever lets go of the principle that ground floor area = upper floor area will come up with interesting and exciting options. However, these are usually not really "cheap" to realize. But as a start of what is usually a really months-long floor plan evaluation, that is the only correct approach. We definitely did it that way. Not everything fits yet, but the basics are there and they are (for us and in relation to the building site and the surroundings) suitable. It simply is not a cube...

Good luck and patience in further developing it.

I believe that it is not supposed to be a "real" Bauhaus at all.

Which Bauhaus client starts off with a hipped roof? Could it not rather be that the word Bauhaus was just picked up and is simply meant to describe the cubic building form without a roof but with two full floors?

Sure. I think everyone here already knows that. That’s normal and legitimate nowadays. People often ask about the architectural style – what do you call it? Cubic cube? I find it sensible to call it the Bauhaus style – then you roughly know what is meant.

In my opinion, it would make more sense to simply do without any style designation altogether! While I was typing, a comment came in saying that the main thing is rooms without sloping ceilings on the upper floor. In the end, that won’t be a city villa or Bauhaus, but "just" a house! That way, a lot of arguing about what belongs to Bauhaus and how much it will cost could have been avoided, because everyone here was fixated on the word Bauhaus.

By the way, I couldn’t say what other name I would give my own house. It’s simply a house. With an elongated floor plan, gable roof, and still no sloping ceilings on the upper floor. Of course that’s possible! You just have to consider whether to leave the rooms open to above, thus getting a lot of ceiling height (and somewhere from about 2.4 m upwards a slope) or whether to have another ceiling with an attic above.

Yes, a house is a house is a house.... (I did not invent the questionnaire). I agree with you that some terms are often picked on, which do not help the OP any further. I am also more of a sober observer, who does not want to pigeonhole a house. Primarily, they are simply houses. However, the frequently presented "Stadtvillen" usually lead to the builders having their design freedom interfered with (about the square floor plan) – but I am repeating myself. The creator of the questionnaire must have had something in mind. As "rough style" I find the question permissible. Annoying are then really only the comments that refer to the style and not the much more helpful reference to the actual house and the floor plan itself. And that is what this is actually about in the end.

Even though this is off-topic, a serious question: into which style does a house with a gabled roof, two full stories, exterior walls in an approximate 2:3 ratio fall. Certainly not a town villa or Bauhaus. With wooden elements, corresponding decorations, and without anthracite-colored elements, one might perhaps discuss alpine style, but our house certainly isn’t that either. We definitely don’t need to discuss Frisian houses or similar. *g*

But then what?

Edit: of course the questionnaire makes sense insofar as one wouldn’t suggest a Frisian gable to a builder who wants alpine style. But it’s fatal when the builder really has no idea what the overall visual consequences of their style specification are, and has only picked out a single element and therefore calls the whole thing that.
