Hello dear building community!
We are currently in the planning phase of our single-family house and would like to subject our floor plan to your critical feedback. Thank you already for your time!
Everything that is not yet filled in is not fixed to date. Here is the information about the plot and the plan:
Development plan/restrictions
Plot size approx. 730 m²
Slope No
Floor area ratio 0.49
Edge development No
Number of parking spaces 4
Roof shape Gable roof
Terrace orientation facing south
Requirements of the builders - <Description (priority)>
Garage:
Laundry room:
Kitchen, living, dining:
Entrance ground floor:
Parents’ bathroom:
Bedroom
Children’s rooms
General
House design
Planning comes from a planner of a construction company
What we especially like is the room layout on the upper floor. All bedrooms have a wide view over the meadow.
In the plan, the 3-story neighboring house is drawn in gray on the east side. The terrace is supposed to provide privacy from that, which is quite given by the 2.5 m deep balcony. However, we are not sure whether the kitchen and living room will be too dark, as not much sunlight will reach these rooms. Possibly the problem with privacy/wind protection/light could also be solved with an L-shape (see pencil sketch as example).
Could do without the relatively large parents’ bedroom, the children’s bathroom is also somewhat large.
Could not do without: privacy- and wind-protected terrace, office (home office), passage from garage, laundry on the ground floor, equally sized children’s rooms, two bathrooms, large dining/living area
Why did the design turn out as it is now?
Due to own wishes, input from the planner, and examples from magazines.
What makes it particularly good or bad in your eyes?
The rooms are located on the floors and in the directions as desired. To the west of the kitchen there is a row of cupboards, of which we are not really sure yet how to use this corner (any tips very welcome). It is probably a bit too far from the kitchen to install oven, etc. there.
What is the most important/basic question about the floor plan summarized in 130 characters?
We would like feedback on the entire floor plan. We are especially interested in:
