Hello everyone,
we have now made great progress with our house planning and are getting closer to a possible contract signing. We will build with a regional timber construction company with which we feel very well taken care of.
Development plan/restrictions
Plot size: 1032m2
Slope; yes, but the house will be built on the flat level of the plot
Floor area ratio: 0.4
Floor space index: 1.0
Number of parking spaces: 2
Number of floors: II
Roof shape: gable roof (25-45 degrees)
Orientation
Maximum heights/limits: maximum height of structures 8m
Other requirements: knee wall 70cm (from top edge of ground floor ceiling to bottom edge of collar beam)
Client requirements
Style, roof shape, building type: classic single-family house, gable roof
Basement, floors: basement, ground floor + attic
Number of people, age: 2 adults + 2 children
Space requirements on ground floor, upper floor
Office: combined work and guest room
Overnight guests per year: about 12 times per year
Open or closed architecture: open
Conservative or modern construction: hmm, something in between
Open kitchen, kitchen island: yes, both
Number of dining seats: 8-10
Fireplace: no, possibly ethanol fireplace
Music/stereo wall: no
Balcony, roof terrace: yes, balcony
Garage, carport: double carport (still being planned, not directly attached to the house)
House design
Who designed it:
- planner from a construction company in collaboration with us
What do you particularly like? Why?
- all our wishes are fulfilled (parents' area, balcony, children's bathroom, spacious work/guest room, spacious bright entrance area)
What do you not like? Why?
- nothing specific. I think that some uncertainty is slowly creeping in the closer the contract signing gets. Therefore we hope for a few tips, suggestions, etc. I am still a bit unsure about the roof slopes in the attic (knee wall 90cm). Do you think the rooms will turn out well despite the slopes?
Price estimate according to architect/planner: ~500,000 (exact offer to follow)
Personal price limit for the house, including equipment: €600,000
Preferred heating technology: geothermal heat pump
Why is the design the way it is now? For example
Individually planned and refined according to our wishes
What is the most important/basic question about the floor plan summarized in 130 characters?
As mentioned above, we just want some more input, suggestions and criticism because I think that when you have been dealing with a floor plan for a long time you sometimes become a bit "blind" to it.
Thank you very much in advance for numerous suggestions, ideas, but of course also justified criticism.
