Hello everyone,
after being a silent reader for half a year and having learned a lot here in the forum, I would like to ask for your feedback on the current status of our house construction today.
We (my wife 27, employee in human resources and I (30, IT management consultant) are planning to build a single-family house in Lower Franconia (Kitzingen district) for us and our unborn 2 + possibly 1 children5.
We have already purchased a plot of land (545m² (approx. 27x20 meters)) in a new development area.
The plot is fully developed, neighboring buildings or trees etc. are currently not yet present.
I have attached a detailed plan.
Restrictions due to the development plan:
- almost flat plot, slope from the street approx. 1 meter to the end of the plot
- floor area ratio 0.4
- floor space index 1.2
- building window 3 meters away from the street and setback areas according to Bavarian building regulations
- 2 parking spaces required
- maximum wall height 3.60 meters
We are already quite advanced in the floor plan design, the details can also be found in the attachment.
What has been/is important to us in the current planning:
Gable roof house with bay window with approx. 180 sqm living space (12.5 x 9.5 meters plus bay window 4x1 meter)
Moderate knee wall (between 75 and 100 cm inside)
Home office needed for regular work from home
Guest sleepers per year (max. 5, in absolute exceptional cases more than one at the same time)
The following rooms are required on the ground floor:
- sufficiently large entrance area
- WC with shower and wide door (for a visiting wheelchair user who must be able to drive up to the toilet. Accessibility according to DIN is not required)
- utility room with space for air-water heat pump, water storage tank, washing machine & dryer (stacked), washbasin, electrical panel, water connection, telecom connection, photovoltaic system & Caterva Sonne (21 KW battery storage). Furthermore, the clothes drying rack should also be foldable.
- study & guest room (sofa, desk, file cabinet)
- open staircase
- spacious, open kitchen for cooking for two
- pantry
- comfortable living/dining room (based on friends' experience about 40 m² for us)
- no steps on the ground floor, ramp-like access to the front door
On the upper floor we need:
- bedroom
- dressing room
- bathroom with two washbasins and masonry shower, bathtub and if possible laundry chute to the utility room
- 3 children's rooms
- daylight in the upper floor would be nice (alternatively perhaps motion sensor spots?)
Further wishes regarding equipment:
- fireplace
- number of dining seats 6+2
- TV wall
- single garage/carport on the east boundary with as large a storage room as possible
- utility garden approx. 15 m²
- garden house approx. 10 m²
- maximum garden yield towards the southwest (terrace & lawn)
- electric blinds
- underfloor heating
- windows & front door in anthracite
House design:
- The planning comes from: planner of a prefabricated house manufacturer based on our own rough draft
What we particularly like:
- kitchen with living/dining area
- bedroom & dressing room
- the two larger children's rooms
- remaining garden area
What we don’t like yet:
- arrangement in the bathroom (upper floor): shower should be enclosed
- stairs (due to the cut into the utility room and bathroom)
- the location of the fireplace in the living room
- pantry too narrow (wall must be shifted approx. 25 cm towards the kitchen)
Personal budget limit for the whole project:
500,000 EUR
This should include the following:
Plot (545 m² * 82.50 EUR => 44,962.50 EUR)
Acquisition incidental costs
House price
Additional construction costs
Outdoor facilities (garage/carport; paving work; terrace; basic garden landscaping; garden house)
Kitchen (approx. 15,000 EUR)
Photovoltaic system (approx. 8.5 kWP) (offer pending)
Caterva Sonne (27,500 EUR)
Fireplace
Rainwater cistern (approx. 2,500 L)
Attachments:
- Floor plans ground floor/upper floor
- Site plan plot
- Existing lines on the plot
- Planned arrangement on the plot in the garden planner
- Exterior views
Thank you in advance for feedback and comments on any topics you notice.
If I have forgotten anything or there are questions open, I will respond promptly.
Please understand that the rights to the images and floor plans of the house do not belong to me but to the planner.
