Cost estimation Bauhaus style

Even if it’s off-topic, but a serious question: into which style does a house with a gable roof, two full stories, exterior walls in an approximate 2:3 ratio fall? Certainly not a townhouse or Bauhaus. With wooden elements, corresponding decorations, and without anthracite-colored components, 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 in that a builder who desires alpine style doesn’t need to be suggested a Frisian gable. But it’s fatal if the builder actually has no idea what the visual consequences of his style designation are as a whole, but just picked out a single element and therefore calls it that.

Your house is simply a house (with 2 floors and a gable roof). You can also leave that point in the questionnaire blank – that would probably often be the better option.

Hello,

leave out the water-bearing fireplace, instead put photovoltaic panels on the flat roof (east-west) and an air-water heat pump. Today's houses are so airtight, if you turn on the fireplace for water heating, it will get too hot in the living room. For example, I currently don't need to heat at all on days when the sun shines a little... And don't let anyone talk you into a solar thermal system. In summer, you hardly need hot water and hot water cannot be fed into the grid and sold. Electricity is the much nobler energy and can be used for everything. With a heat pump also at least in the ratio of 1:3.
I have done green roofing, first for ecological reasons (soil sealing, bees...), secondly as additional protection against environmental influences (bird crashes, hail etc.). And it is additional insulation or in summer sun protection.

best regards

I would reconsider the green roof as well. We also executed the roof as a wooden beam ceiling - for the flat roof, which nowadays aren't really that flat anymore. Primarily for the interior appearance, and the roof construction was about 5,000 EUR cheaper than concrete (however, you then have a bit more work inside if you want plaster around the beams for the interior plaster - but that's another matter).
I would, however, precisely calculate the geothermal energy on your side. In NRW there is a 4,500 EUR subsidy from BAFA (at least that was still available this year). With the savings from the gas connection and everything else, we were in total about 2,000 EUR more expensive with geothermal than gas. And it was worth it to us!
Definitely leave out the chimney. In modern houses, it’s only for the cozy feeling; otherwise, heat quickly becomes unbearable.

My roof proposal therefore ranges from 22 to about 25° DN – you can even take 30 if you want, but what does the development plan actually say? – because some roof tiles are not recommended for less than 21/22° DN and more than 25° DN would bring little benefit for an "economy cover" with just storage space. I am already thinking in terms of constructive cost-effectiveness to have this gable roof start only above the top floor ceiling. So, without a slope in the classic upper floor of the substitute villa.

I think that modern Bauhaus-style architecture is also interesting for laypeople, precisely without an integrated garage with a slight offset, for example in the entrance area, with a slightly sloping roof and optical color contrast and, of course, large windows!

"Integrated" garage and color contrast would not be Bauhaus in the sense of the school of Mr. Gropius, but rather in the sense of the store where you buy the Allibert – that’s why I call it Hornbach style.

I think we understand what you want/need/mean, and we don’t necessarily have to give this "08/15 Millennium Edition" a name.

Without clinker bricks is definitely a good approach for painless saving. Correct your slight overestimation of floor-to-ceiling windows, then it fits. Personally, I find separate children’s bathrooms dispensable, and chimneys in houses built to today’s insulation standards nonsense.

Do you drive such a luxury car that it "needs" a garage? – a shed behind the carport would be enough for me. For bicycles, lawnmower, garbage cans, you know.

: have we already seen your house here? – what built is apparently called Jura style.

I personally find separate children's bathrooms dispensable

I wouldn't want to miss our children's bathroom anymore, for various reasons. Definitely think about it!

Best regards

I can report that we are one step further.

The planning is largely complete. The house will have a flat roof, which of course is not completely flat.
The second ceiling will be a concrete ceiling!

We have planned two single garages, one extended with a storage room, in the middle without a wall! There is a connection via a fire door directly into the house.

The children's bathroom remains. On the upper floor there is an open space with a gallery overlooking the ground floor.

The living, dining, and kitchen area will be 63 sqm.

The entire house will be 200 sqm.

Economically considered, the windows will have blinds (Anthracite). Almost exclusively the same but many window elements will be installed here. Lift-and-slide doors have been omitted. There are also fixed glass elements!

Visually, the house is plastered white, with anthracite color between the window sections!

The plaster on the outside is somewhat thinner in the lower area than in the upper area (optical effect).

It will not be a KfW house; the idea of economic efficiency was ultimately paramount. Building according to the Energy Saving Ordinance is mandatory anyway. To the experts: What subsidies can I still hope for (NRW) KfW, BAFA, NRW loan, if I build like this?

Not yet clarified is whether we will use an air-to-water heat pump or geothermal ground collectors (soil permit for water protection area required), but it will probably be an air-to-water heat pump. Is it noisy, located directly under the bedroom?

The ceiling height will be two bricks higher than normal.

Otherwise, I am very happy with the drawings! They look great.

Cost estimate will follow, but is likely around 2000€ and with own work, sanitary, electrical, railings, painting, tiling, we could come down to 1700-1800, says the architect. This already includes all architectural services for 1-9, incidental house costs such as development, building permits, paths, etc. Included! Garden except for paving, garages, and kitchen are not included.
