I’m saving myself a construction or even a concrete level for the 1st floor, right?
You’re “saving” for a much more expensive static structure.
The costs for processing the walls
No, finishing the inner roof surfaces is more complicated (I’ll ignore your construction with partly high walls breaking with suspended walls – you can hardly address that anyway).
Regarding the floor slab, unfortunately, I don’t have any knowledge about the costs.
Bungalow floor slabs are more expensive because of larger area. To my knowledge, a bungalow becomes more expensive from about 140 sqm than a conventional single-family house with a finished attic.
What is the decisive factor about a lowered floor slab? (Material, waterproofing, etc.)
Any extra corners in the outer shell cost. In this case, proper waterproofing is necessary since it is also in the soil.
All this is more complex than just stacking Lego plates or simply changing the wall thickness with software. Then there’s also the formwork of the little steps to the lower level… you can’t even think of a “bungalow as a cost-saving measure,” since a scaffolding is needed again.
These are not even 50€, Sebastian. It’s not even just 100€ extra per sqm of living space.
You develop valuable space under the roof, which isn’t effectively used — actually not at all. (Leaving aside the fact that it was implemented so thoughtlessly that it looks lousy. I agree with the insensitive words of that this feels more like childish scribbling than mature understanding).
The whole construction over the (span) distance and over the height of the ridge will probably consume a lot of steel. And without an intermediate level, everything has to be supported somewhere else. Mind you, over walls that are slanted and higher than normal straight room heights. What has meanwhile proven itself in house construction and can be economical is being expensively turned upside down here.
Masonry in a support into the chimney
Huh? How do you imagine that? A chimney has a function. No support is built in there.
Your thinking is very naive – there is a reason why a single-story standard gabled roof house is by comparison the cheapest house build. Small slab, rectangular and good, no leaving out of load-bearing walls etc.
Or why even shed roof houses get a second level.
Viewed over area, over 200 sqm of living space already statistically consume more euros than a modest and effectively planned single-family house construct of 130 sqm at a flat assumed 3000€/sqm.
The living room is supposed to be lowered about 50 cm and accessible via surrounding stairs. This makes the area cozier and is a visual highlight.
Architecturally, a construction with a “lowered” level (living room) to the open roof, which visually seeks to gain height, is conflicting and contradictory.
You can’t speak of spatial feeling when the space is narrower than it is high. You could even check that in 3D with the program if you operated it correctly. You look at a 4-meter high wall above the window.
In former times, the chimney nook was often placed in the lower “construction.” But that was also visually planned just like an air space, instead of just putting the whole living room into the visually “pool area” here or letting the resulting air space run out clumsily along the whole house length with walls.
The lowering was then kept out of the traffic areas so that no one would injure themselves on the stairs or fall down.
I want the perfect floor plan for a large family and often many friends that offers maximum comfort, togetherness, healthy living, and feel-good factor.
Who wouldn't want that? But I actually only see nonsense.
both family and friends (also large numbers).
Here I see people falling down the stairs when they want to move to the table or just in the open area. They do that once, then they won’t come back… to visit again.
Lighting design will also be a costly task in the rooms…
The bathrooms have only roof windows. (Advantageous for privacy and easier wall maintenance since water cannot reach the window).
That roof windows don’t get wet is a myth, in my opinion. Better ask yourself how much window area “up there” is needed to brighten the room 7 meters below. And how about cleaning effort? Do you set up scaffolding to clean a roof window? At a certain roof pitch, they clean themselves on the outside at least, but not from the inside. Roof windows are also more expensive than normal windows...
The bathrooms, kitchen, and utility room were deliberately placed close to each other to save costs regarding shorter pipe runs.
You have the pipe runs on the long plot to the street (infrastructure). Within the house, a few pipe runs don’t matter. The infrastructure is kept short: that’s why utility rooms are usually built toward the street.
It was only about a theoretical floor plan design.
Oh, that doesn’t exist yet? Then it’s all just castle-in-the-air painting anyway.
Anyway, the chance is 3/4 :) Regarding prices: in the countryside, at least where I live, you can buy large land comparatively affordably.
Large land is not the same as building land. Also, floor area ratio must be observed. “In the countryside where large land is available,” the floor area ratio is usually around 0.1. You would have to buy about 2200 sqm of that cheap land. But cheap building land also no longer exists “in the countryside.”
.....
You basically make every conceptual mistake of a layman. The same applies to the floor plan: wasted hallway areas, badly or not planned doors and windows that make furnishing difficult.
You can’t speak of spatial feeling when the room is narrower than it is high. You could even look at that in 3D with the program if you used it correctly.
No cloakroom, sight line from the kitchen towards the front door, dining table facing an internal toilet competing with the smell of the stove or rather vice versa. And if the sliding door is also made of glass, then kids or other people in the privacy zone have direct insight when they have to visit the bathroom.
Here are some tips or conceptual mistakes:
The sliding door also allows, for example, receiving visitors and isolating the bedrooms visually and acoustically to provide quiet and privacy for children.
Sliding doors rarely provide sound insulation.
Traffic areas should be kept as small as possible.
Where are they small? 28 sqm is hefty!
Efficiency/cost reduction is often a very high priority.
Yeah, I recommend another house then. This “construction and ideas” here are totally non-negotiable.
Because of the chimney and the niche directly next to the front door, the living room is somewhat limited, which adds to coziness.
I think the view into the hallway and entrance area brings the opposite of coziness.
In the niche (and in the chimney) there are cabinets for coats and shoes.
For me? My shoes!!! Rubber boots don’t fit anymore. Coats don’t either. Where to put all that stuff???
The utility room is far away...
Shopping bags can be stored next to the chimney, guest cloakroom will be put on the sofa.
The floor in traffic areas, utility room, bathrooms, and living-dining area should be made of easy-care exposed concrete,
I thought you wanted to save?
For meaningful changes and additions, I am gladly willing to spend significantly more money if there is added value.
I calculate the house at 800,000 to 900,000€.
I wrote most of this this morning. And I have to smile that another user meanwhile wrote similar things. But the points themselves will probably be noticed by most here who deal with house designs.
