Floor Plan Check Semi-Detached House - General Optimization + Storage Space

Ok, you can imagine it a bit better now. But let me burst the bubble about the non-realistic furnishing. Kitchen: on 3 meters width you can fit 5 tall cabinets, not 7 as drawn, however, at the door to the pantry and the corner there remain just 2 1/2 real tall cabinet widths. 5.30 minus the 1.80 leaves 3.50. Tall cabinets are subtracted from the 1.80. That leaves 5 1/2 kitchen cabinets for workspace and storage, including stove and sink. How many tall cabinets are actually usable? Top left none, door to the pantry none either. The island can be at most 1.50. You have a basement. Either you use it accordingly or not. I see no living space there at the moment. It remains a basement-basement. I see absolutely no advantage in taking away space and usage from a kitchen as well as turning the bathroom into a utility bathroom. I think the upper floor is absolutely blocked. Why don’t you extend the upper right corner outwards and make the terrace a covered terrace? There are no more load-bearing walls from this floor up either, right? [ATTACH alt="IMG_1387.jpeg"]89225[/ATTACH] My tip: explicitly draw in your furniture to scale. Then you can see the shortcomings. Do without the pantry and laundry room in the basement and upper floor. Plan reasonable rooms that are optimally rectangular. Give the kids the upper floor and take the attic as parents.

What makes it particularly good or bad in your eyes? Good: wishes were taken into account. But: is there optimization regarding storage?

What are your wishes? There’s somehow nothing in there. Storage? You have the basement, that’s enough storage.

Are the bathrooms big enough?

The planner (you can’t really call them an architect, I basically only see DIY) should draw in the requested sanitary products. And the waste and vent pipes as well. It can’t be that the client has to think for themselves how everything can be causally planned with drainage.

What is being roofed up there on the top right at about 7 meters height? Bathroom measuring 3 x 3 meters with 2 passages/doors, a window.. and probably the desire for a walk-in shower etc. There are two guest rooms. Probably placeholder rooms. Ultimately, one must ask again: what are your wishes, what is your room program, what is your budget, and what has only been drawn in because of Pinterest?

You should build with a basement next to the half-neighbor (and otherwise: coordinate the house profile at the adhesive edge), see the Goalkeeper thread and the keyword underpinning. If I haven't miscalculated, the boundary distance is 15 cm too small.

I felt a bit strange right after sending it: I had forgotten to mention the botched pockets!

Somehow there are doors missing and I also can't find the building line.

I am missing the information about the slope?

You should fire the architect.

I miss the information about the slope?

And if there isn’t one? Why should you write something that doesn’t exist. The biotope also remains unmentioned, because it doesn’t exist. You can’t complain about that, can you?! When reading the initial thread again because of a “mentioned slope,” this caught my attention:

What don’t you like? Why?: great that the room layout was made exactly according to our wishes. But the plan was simply copied 1:1

And even if the OP no longer responds here, a few short words: It is definitely not great when a) a layperson tells the expert what he has to do, b) thinks they can do what others have studied for years and c) thereby basically burns the expert. Apparently for this very reason the doors and sanitary facilities are missing: He basically just left out the missing things you yourselves didn’t think of. You shouldn’t be surprised if he stubbornly switched off his brain and drew exactly your mistakes or left out something important. You get exactly the house you, as laypeople, have drawn. No more and no less. Maybe he is still willing to do his work for you if you apologize to him. Or you pay him your tuition, write down your room program in detention and give it to the next. Now it all makes sense: You have no room program, didn’t think enough in advance, and are now drawing pointless rooms there.

whether what we drew is even sensible.

No.

Edge development: the first builders who submit a building application are allowed to decide the house dimensions

It probably means that, in the case of semi-detached houses, the first applicant dictates how the other half has to fit in.
1. urgently get to know this neighbor and then plan together!
2. please quote the exact wording from the development plan.

Who is the planner:
- Planner from a construction company: no
- Architect: yes
- Do-it-Yourself: yes
What do you particularly like? Why?
What do you not like? Why?: great that the room layout was done exactly according to our wishes. But the plan was adopted 1:1 and we would also like opinions on whether what we have drawn is even sensible.

"I believe neither 'Architect yes / draftsman no', rather the opposite."

It is definitely not great when a) a layperson tells the expert what to do, b) thinks they can do what others have studied for several years, and c) thereby practically ruins an expert.

This is more a flat person than an expert. Less because of the errors in the drawings, but mainly because as an architect, without quotation marks, you also have a duty of care to advise the client accordingly.
