Hello everyone,
we are currently working on the electrical planning for our single-family house. The focus is currently on the lighting planning; network and socket planning are also done but will follow separately.
As with most people here, this is the first time we are doing such lighting planning. We have looked at many things "live," read and informed ourselves, and after numerous adjustments and several months, the plan below has been created.
I would like to get your feedback on it – I am sure, despite intensive planning, to get some valuable suggestions here. I am not yet 100% satisfied especially in the entrance area and the kitchen.
Before we get to the nitty-gritty, a small request from my side: Please no general comments on the floor plan, the layout of the living space, etc. – that is fixed, cannot be changed, and should remain as it is.
About the house:
- Single-family house with 2 floors without basement
- approx. 183 sqm total living area
- timber frame construction
Ceiling height ground floor:
In the entrance area 2.4m (hallway, bathroom, technical room – rises after the passage to kitchen / living room)
Rest of ground floor 2.5 m
Ceiling height upper floor:
2.5 in the hallway (lowered due to attic)
Rest of upper floor: at the outer walls knee wall approx. 1.85 m
Roof slope from there to the hallway interior wall up to approx. 3.8 m height
Miscellaneous
- On the ground floor under the stairs there is a storage room; of course, a light source is planned there, but I have left it out here for clarity.
- The LED stair lights are basically "strips" on every 2nd or 3rd step; for clarity, I have not implemented this exactly here.
- The T-wall in the upper floor bathroom will only be about 2.30 m high; the rest remains open to the top so that light will also reach the shower and WC.
- Our (visual) requirement is to never have more than 3 switches (up to 6 split) at one place. In addition to the lighting planning, there are sometimes switch assignments for outdoor power and electric shutters, which is why, for example, at the patio door and directly to the right around the corner, there is each a switch with "only" 2 assignments.
I hope I have thought of everything.
Many thanks in advance for your feedback
Best regards
Michael
