Everything here is still fresh... but we already like it very much, especially because of the location, even though the building regulations now force us to rethink everything. Basically, at the moment, everything is really a bit chaotic (and the development plan for the area is actually not available online, but I will provide it later ).
Well, great that it worked out. But still: no hands, no chocolate!
No site plan, no suggestions. At least no drafts.
Compared to the architect’s result, every Viebrockhaus floor plan looks more acceptable and will probably fit you as long as you make a few changes.
My neighbor had a Maxime 300 and a piano... just take a look at that. Or the Maxime 305... just as a size comparison.
You speak my mind: Why must the bathtub be placed in the middle of the bathroom? Is it really like that? I will completely leave out the dressing room, as suggested by haydee. Unfortunately, I don't like the kitchen either...
The dressing room would work better if it were accessible from the hallway. Then there would also be more space for cabinets.
We have such a square under the roof. However, with a knee wall of 130...
But who said that a conventional layout in the attic is best? I also think: you would have enough options.
And if you stay without a child, you can turn the hallway into a living hallway anyway.
I haven't thought about dormers yet. I would need to see what additional costs that means. But of course, it would be an option.
Dormers are comparatively expensive.
I would rather invest the money in living space on the ground floor and make the roof pitch flatter upstairs, so you have less living space in the attic but an additional room on the ground floor. A sort of split-level bungalow.
I have now adjusted this a little for the ground floor variant:
- Staircase to 3.10
- Sofa to current dimensions 3.00 x 2.00
- Kitchen unit left as is
- Kitchen bar at 75cm depth
- Doors in utility room and guest WC kept 80cm wide
- Entrance and living area door over 1m
... etc.
No... your drafts don’t work. You give up necessary load-bearing walls and build in an additional 50,000€ of structural engineering costs.
What matters to me here: I would like a kitchen really integrated into the living area. I definitely don’t want to run through the hallway all the time when I want to go upstairs to the bathroom or something. I don’t want a narrow corridor floor plan in the living area and want to keep the space as good/open as possible.
Then take my house.
I’m not an architect - I’m just using a fiddly smartphone app here with which I try out possible floor plans/layouts.
Graph paper is enough. Then you immediately see the proportions.
I still need to see that I correctly determine window sizes and doors for myself, etc.)
No, the architect can do that.
Where/what I do with the bookshelves, I unfortunately don’t know yet. I still need to sleep on that...
Well, even a bookworm sometimes does well to declutter.
There is a rule: for 5 new books, 10 must go.
You won’t read all the new ones anyway. It’s liberating and for 500 books there is the small gallery hallway above next to the stairs, which can possibly be made a bit larger.
And now please the site plan on graph paper!
Edit... overlapped ;
