Floor plan: classic single-family house approx. 180m² on 1800m² plot

KFW 55 standard, Poroton T8, triple-glazed windows, corresponding underlays and insulation between rafters Bathroom is intentionally not in the toilet room (upstairs). Basically, the "spaciousness" in the entrance area is important to us – but we probably imagine it smaller than it actually will be Have we basically done anything "nonsensical"?

Insulation between rafters: Why not insulation over rafters? Is that supposed to be cheaper? The effort to “cover the roof first” is eliminated then. Bathroom upstairs without toilet: Why is that? I could understand if it’s the only toilet in the house, but if someone is in the tub, you can still use the toilet downstairs. Entrance area: Whether spacious or not naturally depends heavily on where and how you place the wardrobe. Nonsense: Try furnishing your dressing room. The two doors are unfavorably positioned.

Where exactly should the wardrobe be in the entrance? And why are the windows on the upper floor partially intentionally not to be opened? How are they supposed to be cleaned?

... Nonsense .. yes - and some of it. Just furnish the rooms with scale-appropriate furniture; some of your rooms are hardly furnishable without cabinets standing in front of the window or blocking the door, etc.

A toilet in the bathroom is necessary for children - and not only for them. At the latest, when the children have undressed and the water is splashing into the tub, the urge to urinate becomes apparent. I speak from experience with three children. It was really always like that!

What exactly is included in the mentioned price? That seems relatively low to me.

Thank you very much for your responses!

Insulation between rafters: Why not insulation above the rafters? Is that supposed to be cheaper? The effort of "covering the roof first" would be eliminated anyway.

Bathroom upstairs without toilet: Why is that? I could understand it if it’s the only toilet in the house, but if someone is sitting in the tub, you can still use the toilet downstairs.

Entrance area: Whether spacious or not naturally depends a lot on where and how you place the wardrobe.

Nonsense: Try furnishing your dressing room. The 2 doors are positioned unfavorably.

Whether insulation between or above the rafters: I formulated that more specifically than I wanted. I just wanted to say that the building envelope should be constructed according to the KfW55 standard but without controlled residential ventilation and with a gas condensing boiler.

In fact, we currently have bathroom and toilet separate and find that quite good in terms of odors and drainage. We still have an additional guest toilet. The advantage is, for example, the separation of odors and also the example you mentioned. Even if you bathe together, the other person can still use the toilet beforehand undisturbed.

Regarding the wardrobe: Indeed, it is planned behind the fixed part of the door and under the concrete staircase.

Regarding the dressing room: Thanks! The door to the bedroom is of course completely messed up. It should of course be as far as possible into the corner.

Where is the wardrobe supposed to be in the entrance? And why are some windows upstairs deliberately not openable? How should they be cleaned?

The thought behind it was: windows below the parapet height as fixed elements mean no risk of falling. Cleaning is then naturally only possible from the outside – we would accept that. Such a divided window like on the gables is also difficult to clean.

A toilet in the bathroom is necessary for children – and not only for them. At the latest when the children have undressed and the water is running into the tub, the urge to urinate shows itself. I speak from experience with three children. That was always the case!

Thank you very much for this suggestion! I hadn’t really considered that before, but it makes more than sense. I will discuss it!

Regarding the price:
House "turnkey" with floor coverings in all rooms except children’s rooms and guest rooms. All rooms and hallway on the ground floor tiled, living room up to the kitchen with parquet flooring. Bedroom and hallway upstairs with laminate. Concrete staircase with treads in finger-jointed beech. The stainless steel chimney is also included in the price as well as the sanitary fixtures as drawn. Painting work inside is not included.

All windows except the 6 wide windows in the knee walls with electric shutters. Roof windows also with electric drive.

We have already done a test layout for kitchen, ground floor, and bedroom. But of course – you are right – we have not yet furnished the children’s rooms, among others. We will catch up on that to see how awkward it will be with the windows.
