Cinema or not...
That’s when the fun really starts at 40sqm.
...before it’s even realistic, I play the spoilsport :(
Good point. We hadn’t agreed on that yet. We would also swap the shower with the WC, then guests can get to the toilet quicker. Now we have one more reason.
That’s also counterproductive, since a toilet should ideally get some natural daylight through a window. Looking at a wall/door isn’t nice either.
and maybe two cars should go there after all, then you’d have to move closer to the boundary on the left side of the plan.
Or you just simply move away from the shed roof and choose a rectangular block for the house. Then some light will reach every corner.
50 cm would be enough for us.
172sqm and then be stingy, that doesn’t fit. The villa becomes almost unsellable if someone notices that ;)
We don’t sit there often. Mobile working hardly happens.
I don’t even have mobile working, but privately tons of folders, not only due to the house construction. Personally, I always recommend planning 3 running meters of wardrobe space (60cm deep) in every bedroom if possible. Exceptions are the rule. But that mostly concerns the width. 50cm can work, we have that too. But we don’t have 172sqm... if I had 10sqm more available, the walk-in closet would have been bigger as well.
The living rooms planned on most pages of the BU’s model houses almost completely neglect TV and HiFi. The sofa is always against the wall. Audiophile people despair about that.
Why do you think? Because someone has to pay for the house, too. You have to set priorities, e.g., a decent TV area... with 2 kids the house is built family-friendly, that’s what the model houses are designed for.
The window, which is not very big, is only there so it can be ventilated.
Oh dear, without controlled residential ventilation?! :eek:
Of course, it’s a matter of taste.
We don’t want to discuss taste here, but costs and implementation. And functionality. Some aesthetics can’t hurt either.
Sorry, that should have been explained more. That is a suspended fireplace. The body below looks like a UFO.
What should the fireplace be like? With or without glass? Wood or gas?
So, I’m always glad when someone puts something together with an idiot-proof program and has concrete ideas. But at some point you have to keep things realistic.
You know exactly what you want, list here trifles, frills, and nice-to-haves, but can’t pay for it. With your desired equipment, you get 133sqm for €400,000! Maybe just under 140sqm. Somewhere around there it will settle. Without own work, without exterior facilities, without terrace and paving/carport. And without incidental construction costs.
If you want your 170sqm, then calculate about €500,000. Or €550,000. But then also: without own work, without exterior facilities, without terrace and paving/carport. And without incidental construction costs.
It may be that, because you don’t require renewable energies or are building in Brandenburg, you can afford 150sqm or only have to pay €460,000 for 170sqm. Anyway: some reality never hurt before designing.
About the house itself:
I see 7! window widths: front 70cm and 120cm, SW 90cm, in the open space 270cm, in the NE 230 and 140. I call that aesthetics ;) How about you pick one window size for the "small" ones? The look will thank you. Then even a bungalow needs a supporting wall. With almost 15 meters, two supporting walls would reduce the statics somewhat cheaper.
Basically though: the house is mega dark. Where the daylight is, there are small windows, where nothing is, there are big ones. But: the big ones do not illuminate the middle. The kitchen is the darkest spot in the whole house. The brightest spot is the computer workspace in the office (there you don’t need light).
Do yourselves a favor and build with this orientation: the cinema in the NE, the kitchen in the light with at least 2 sqm window area. If you have to give up 20sqm for cost reasons, move the cinema to the attic. With a pitched roof, much is possible.

Homebyme only indicates the sun at noon, but that is a sign whether light actually
shines through a window.
