Floor plan design city villa with basement improvement suggestion?

What I totally miss in your planning, if you really want to do it that way with the granny flats, is where the laundry will be washed and especially hung up? Your son probably won’t want to walk through the apartment every time, will he?

Good point, the son can go out the door onto the lower terrace, here he can hang up his laundry. So that he doesn’t have to walk through the entire apartment, we will probably have to install a second washing machine in the basement?

So this is really quite strange here. Everyone wishes for something, the daughter [a dance hall], the civil engineer [the construction prices from 10 years ago]... I don't see any success here.

I agree with Katja and am more than astonished and disappointed that you do not address the specific questions. Is the cost estimate net or gross? This remained unanswered until now. All the points regarding the family situation, rightly discussed quite intensively by almost everyone, from you: nothing. Why? All the fundamental questions should be discussed before individual wall lengths... unless you don’t want to, okay. But then don’t be surprised if nothing coherent comes out of it here.

Sorry, it was not intentional to not respond to the comments. The cost estimate is stated as gross, so including VAT. Regarding the family situation, I have already commented on this, the children still live with us. Of course, we also considered building without a basement, but in the end, we came to the conclusion that a 20-year-old with his girlfriend does not want to be on the same level with us, and we do not want that either. We then tried to plan our bedroom on the ground floor, but that did not work because otherwise I could not accommodate my office. Therefore, the only option for us was the variant with the basement, where each child gets their own almost equally sized room.

Basement:
- Yes, the bathroom is narrow, but in my opinion, it should be absolutely sufficient for one person.

Hm. You mean because it’s only one person, they don’t need to turn around when drying off? That’s nonsense. It’s not about how many people you can cram in there, but how comfortably you can move around in a room. Especially when you have miles of space downstairs where the heating system can be moved. That’s a joke!

- Also the heating room, we don’t need more there either, since only the heating will be installed,

So no water / electricity / hot water tank / controlled residential ventilation / fiber optic? Where will all that be installed?

- Hobby / child room has two windows, the large one gets light from the south side, the room will probably not be flooded with light, but in our opinion, it should be sufficient.
- In the heating room, no window is planned, only a light shaft is provided.

Why not add a light shaft in the corner of the child’s room instead? You like the kid much more than the heating system, right?

Ground floor:
- The path with the shopping bags to the kitchen is too long. Yes you are right, that’s why we plan a terrace door with access to the parking space; the window shown is the terrace door. Unfortunately, the kitchen furniture is still drawn in the plan, but it will of course not be placed there.

So you’re already planning crutches during planning instead of reasonable paths from the start?

Upper floor:
- The children’s room is to be made as large as our daughter wishes.

Somehow it feels like the girl is more popular than the boy.

An exit to the balcony is not planned, would also blow the budget

What, no terrace? Speechless.

It is not clear where you want to place the terrace. Rather on the right, where the dining area is? Will the terrain be filled in then?

The kitchen is actually too wide for a double-row kitchen with 326 cm width.

It would make sense to post plans that also reflect the planning. The area for the kitchen is not clear to me at all.

Why still a bathroom with shower on the ground floor? The office is quite small for that. Is it supposed to be for home office? The space for a swivel chair is simply too tight.

???? And then the question ... what do you think, how long will the children stay with you? What about education/studies/profession? If the son already lives with his girlfriend, then you should also consider real granny flat quality with cooking facilities/kitchen, etc.

Hmm. You mean because there is only one person, they don’t need to turn around while drying? That’s nonsense. It’s not about how many people you can cram in there, but how you can move comfortably in a room. Especially when you have kilometers of space down there where the HAR can move. That’s a joke!

So no water / electricity / hot water tank / controlled residential ventilation / fiber optics? Where will all that be installed?

Why not add a light well in the corner of the child’s room? You like the child much more than the heating, right?

Water / electricity / hot water tank will also go into the HA room. The HA can’t be made smaller because otherwise the door wouldn’t fit.

A light well in the corner probably won’t work, since exactly on that side our terrace is planned to cover half the width of the house, and because the property slopes (in that area about 1.80m), I think a light well will be difficult to implement.

What would reasonable paths for the kitchen be?
