Where does the current appearance come from, does the house have a model?
Yes, the model is a show house from the company Rötzer Ziegel Element Haus, located in the Fellbach show house park, see attached picture.
I'm not thinking about symmetry, only harmony. I would adjust the small window in the parapet height to the others, also the stairwell window, and make these two the same width (76 cm).
As I said, I agree with you and so far we are anything but happy here. The parapet height must of course be adjusted, I cannot say why it was not planned this way before, in my opinion there is no reason for that. Adjusting the width is certainly an option, yes. The only question is what we should do with the light strip for the staircase...
If crowds of people are not supposed to gather at this spot (big greeting and farewell of the whole group of guests), but rather individual persons pass by, you can quietly make a 90° corner there. If you want to keep this widening place, fill the slanted wall up to the ceiling with a mirror: then it looks intentional, instead of looking like something beamed in from the 80s.
Here too, analogous to the partition between storage/pantry, we will probably accept the suggestion and change to a 90° angle.
My comments:
I would reconsider the "bar" at the kitchen. Do people really sit there, or is it more of a trend? I would rather leave it out and move the dining table closer.
The utility room seems a bit large to me. Why is that? Does it serve as an additional storage room?
No mirror can hang above the washbasin in the guest WC like that.
I would remove the small wall next to the fireplace so that the fireplace can be placed centrally in front of the chimney. Otherwise, you might have to install a strangely curved pipe to connect it. Also, this way you can see the fireplace better from the couch -> cozier.
The living room area is indeed solved a bit oddly; maybe you have to move the couch a bit downward and then place the TV on the lower wall? The room is just too square in that part.
3 bathrooms for 4 people seems personally too many to me. You can also spend a lot of money here (and later spend a lot of time cleaning).
A patio roof is sensible; otherwise you constantly have to move things back and forth.
Many thanks to you as well for your feedback!! The "bar" was only added as a suggestion by the drafter. As mentioned, the peninsula will be 1 meter deep, the chairs and "bar" will be omitted!
Yes, laundry should be hung in the utility room during the cold season. Also, we are happy about every storage space...
A patio roof is absolutely necessary and also planned. However, this will probably have to wait until some money is saved up again.
And what does she want to put in there? That's a bit too much of a good thing
Criticism as mentioned accepted, the partition wall will be removed
The bigger a house is, the more rooms, kitchen and... stairs grow. I think a staircase should play a central furnishing role. Here it somehow "hugs" the side "space-saving" like in a terraced house.
Since I don't see a wardrobe (I assume shoes are not supposed to be stored in the carport), the underside of the stairs will have to serve this purpose (and get cluttered).
I would make the house about one meter longer, but about half a meter narrower on the bottom side of the plan because of the unnecessary splitting of the storage room, missing staircase and square badly furnished living room, as well as only about 3.60 meters of closet space in the dressing room. The exterior appearance benefits from this. The living room is better furnished. I would eliminate the pantry and the storage room and install a big built-in closet wall in the hallway, from front to back: for clothes, brooms, and the like, as well as pantry replacement. This way, you can do without the inserted rooms (pantry, storage). In the kitchen, you can then plan a proper kitchen with enough tall cabinets. If you don't want to give up the storage room, it should move to the pantry space.
Enlarging the house would indeed be beneficial for the layout in the living area, that's true. However, this will fail due to budget, I will inquire about the difference.
What else strikes me about the staircase:
it won't be enough. I count 15 steps. We use that for 30 cm less room height. If you make it longer, you hit the ceiling with your head upstairs, and the start would be right in front of the house entrance. You would almost be thrown upwards.
Personally, I would always want to avoid a staircase start right at the entrance if you have the options. And you do with the house size.
That's harsh. Are you sure? That should never happen; that would be an incredible mistake, I will address that ASAP, thanks for the note!
As for the staircase position itself... do you have a concrete idea? We simply do not want the "classic" of arriving centrally upstairs and having a door in each of the four directions, but rather intentionally a different solution.
With many designs here I wonder where people park their bikes. Maybe you don't have any ...
Correctly guessed, we are not cyclists.
There should be enough space in the carport, it's generously planned.
Also correct, if children come and we get some bikes, there is space on the back wall.
