Floor plan design 140-160 sqm single-family house - draft okay?

Please upload jpgs. PDFs cannot be read by many on tablets/phones.

Space requirements EG/OG: large living/dining area; children's room at least 15 sqm; overall approx. 140 sqm

What is not liked: layout on the upper floor - requirement for a separate dressing room not fulfilled; layout in the basement: kitchen should be separable by a large sliding door;

Passage between garage and front door to the garden; W

Additionally, space for the fireplace, balcony access...

I do not see your requirements in 140 sqm.

For an evaluation whether the design is liked or not, the designs alone are sufficient. The architect can provide dimensions later. What do you expect? That he makes an execution plan for "I don't like it, topic missed"?

It is enough that you are not satisfied with the design (missing dressing room, kitchen). More work for a design would be pearls before swine.

I would just come with my pencil sketches: there is a lot of brainwork in that too.

Architect’s draft (3rd attempt)

What is not liked: layout on the upper floor – requirement for separate dressing room not fulfilled; layout in the basement: kitchen should be separable by a large sliding door; balcony access apparently only through the children’s room (this was not intended!)

[...] How do you see the quality and accuracy of the floor plan – is this normal at this stage?

It is actually said that practice makes perfect – but here one wonders, if this is already the third attempt, how badly must the “architect” have listened before the first two attempts?

It is normal in the preliminary design stage that only the room arrangement and building structure are recognizable, and the dimensions (and locations of various details) are not yet final.

Not normal – and I would not call it “quality” either – is when the stairs coming from the basement are not drawn at all, but only copied & pasted the ones going to the upper floor; when the sliding door of the TV room runs right into a window; and of course very clearly: when the client’s room program is not implemented.

It seems to me that two worlds have unfortunately collided here: namely that clients who fell in love with a house design from manufacturer X went to manufacturer Y. The result does not look at all like an architect’s work, but rather like that of an employed or freelance building permit draftsman of a manufacturer.

Was a model home even the inspiration? – I am reminded (in a wild mixture) of a bit of Baufritz and a bit of Bien-Zenker ...

Bien-Zenker! That was also my first thought when looking at the views. The corner bay window and the overall house appearance speak a fairly clear language.

The drawing is really terrible and faulty. For example, consider the railing that runs along the entire length of the eaves side, although from halfway there is no bay window underneath anymore. And many more, but I'll spare you that now... we're not doing a picture puzzle here.

I would be interested in seeing the OP's own sketches. The distinctive feature of this design here is precisely the large open kitchen/dining area. In my opinion, this is quite unsuitable for a separable kitchen. So what does the OP actually want, I wonder. Both?

I agree with that – also because ...

... you put it very positively – I would rather have spoken of an unusual ratio between the kitchen-living area and the sofa corner cave – and I wonder how much of that is the client’s wish and how much is an "architectural" misunderstanding.
