Phew, I don’t even know how to start.
Maybe start with the premise that 130-135 sqm is to be achieved.
And then the space requirements:
Sauna, dressing room, fireplace, circular path (means: space for two doors in the bathroom, two doors in the dressing room, two doors in the bedroom…)
Are you actually aware that you are making demands, conditions that simply cannot be met? It must be, it should be… but that doesn’t allow for free planning at all! No wonder people get disappointed then.
Conditions ground floor:
Conditions upper floor:
The choice of words says it all!
None of this fits into 130/135 sqm. End of story.
For example, to accommodate 6 linear meters of closet space you don’t need a separate dressing room.
So: planning to the meter or cm is by no means a cornucopia method; quite the opposite: limited floor area means structured room planning instead of a guest tour. I don’t see that here at all.
I find a lot, among other things the entire upper floor, poorly solved. But I also have to read that you apparently have taken the planning into your own hands and are now dissatisfied with the draftsman of the general contractor.
It won’t work this way either: pretending to be an architect, drawing, and then telling the general contractor “go ahead.” He does exactly the opposite. The client wants to do it himself, so he also gets his self-planned house. Without improvements. Without discussions.
We are open to all suggestions here.
I’m surprised when I see the questionnaire only one quarter filled out. That doesn’t work that way.
A dressing room should definitely be planned, we have many closets that need to be accommodated :rolleyes:...
Since it is the nice front side of the house, a large floor-to-ceiling window should be planned there. Otherwise we would just put the closets against the wall. :)
Then accommodate them as well. (Or sell them on eBay)! … and that on the walls of the room, not in the middle. There is barely any crawling space in front of the closets, how are you supposed to choose your clothes or keep track if you ultimately only have 55 cm wide two usable surfaces in front of the closet? Sorry, but if anything that would be the space for a central chest of drawers, but for that you need another 10 sqm more for the dressing room. And then you get nothing from a panoramic window, which would be just a pearl in a barn construction anyway. And the location of this window… who can really enjoy a view there? There isn’t even space for a chair or anything. Honestly: who wants to hang out in this worm extension? This dressing room is by far the worst part of this house with all things considered. And the components are exactly the opposite of what you expect from a dressing room. Pure peepshow.
Secondly, I name the kitchen:
Island with 60 cm depth is a total misplanning. But yes, it was the general contractor who traced it ;) Here we are again with conditions and requirements.
The wishes were unfortunately not implemented, we need a large utility room because we do not have an attic (flat roof), the hallway on the ground floor should be as small as possible - wasted space, a wardrobe should be planned and the guest bathroom is too large. We have also been playing around with the stairs for ages. A half-turned staircase would also be fine, we are open to that.
The size of the hallway mostly results from the shape of the stairs. Stair shape based on the floor area… guest bathroom fits… who is playing around with the stairs? You?
The house entrance is on the east side and should be positioned as far as possible towards the south (carport on the east side).
Bold claim
It’s about HOW one could redesign it better, for example, in order to still implement our wishes, as we are running out of ideas.
Get down to brass tacks with yourselves about what you really want. And then communicate that. Because when I read that the fireplace is in the wrong place because the sofa is actually supposed to be there, I wonder what comes first, the house planning or the furnishing.
Improvements… bad when the questionnaire was treated totally carelessly and something wasn’t filled out at all. Then there is hardly anything to build on. My opinion. but sees her villa under construction and will fix it :)
