Detached house ~ 150 sqm for 5 people

From my own experience, because we moved two weeks ago into 140 sqm (pure living area without office and large hallways) + 70 sqm basement, you have too little usable space in the house for 5 people. We also have 4 bedrooms on the upper floor in case a 3rd child comes. The living area is also borderline. For 5 people, when you subtract the utility room and office, you are left with 130 sqm. At the moment I find the 140 sqm with 2 children on the ground and upper floor really spacious, but with a 3rd child it shouldn't be less. If a 3rd child really should come, I would recommend building a little bigger.

But he is building with a fixed staircase into the attic. I think that will be enough.

Oh, overlooked! Where do I see that?

Here are the views. I thought the dormers would be visible in the drawings, but looking at them again, you really can overlook them very quickly. Sorry for that

That’s how it was intended.

From my own experience, because we moved into 140 sqm (pure living area without office and large hallways) + 70 sqm basement two weeks ago, you have too little usable space in the house for 5 people. We also have 4 bedrooms upstairs in case a 3rd child comes. The living area is also borderline. For 5 people, if you subtract the utility room and office, you’re left with 130 sqm. Right now, I find the 140 sqm with 2 children on the ground floor and upstairs really comfortable, but with a 3rd child it shouldn’t be any less. If a 3rd child really should come, I would recommend building a bit bigger.

bigger probably won’t be possible with the budget

that’s right.

Oh, missed that! Where do I see that?

You can see it in the plans and I had already mentioned it. Does that change anything about your statement then?

I want to thank everyone again (especially !) for the input and the great effort. I really appreciate all the ideas. Whether we will implement all of them, we don’t know yet. I hope no one takes it the wrong way then
oops:

Aso, missed that! Where do I see it?

Mentioned several times in the opening thread and several times in the discussion. Present once in the drawing

Here are the views. I thought the dormers could be seen in the drawings, but looking at them again, you actually miss them very quickly.

Then forget about the knee wall. There are also beautiful houses with small knee walls, where the steep roof pitch and the dormers do the job, like here.

And as a house with 3. gables?

Wow! The south dormers are monstrous. How much does that cost?

Whether we will implement all of this, we do not know yet. I hope nobody will hold it against me then ops:

Yes, of course! You better get ready.
