Hello,
we have been in the final planning phase of a floor plan for a solid house for almost half a year. We have already discussed the floor plan with the preferred builder, and the talks with the actual architect will follow soon. Actually, we would like to make the house a bit smaller, but unfortunately, we then lack space on the upper floor. Maybe someone has a tip here.
Development plan/restrictions
Plot size: 850m^2
Slope: no
Number of floors: 2 full floors
Roof style: hip roof/pyramid roof
Style: city villa
Orientation: house and plot are south-facing
Clients' requirements
2 children's rooms
open kitchen/living/dining area
Number of floors: 2 full floors + basement for utility room, sauna, workshop, …
Number of persons: 2 + 1 or 2 children
Guest WC on the ground floor, but without shower; this is intended later in the basement near the sauna
Sleep guests per year: practically 0
modern construction method
open kitchen, kitchen island
Fireplace as room divider (living to dining area), or integrated into the wall as in the plan.
Single prefabricated garage with roof extension to the house = carport
House design
What do you like/dislike?
The bay window on the ground floor (living room - bottom/right) is actually not necessary; without it, the exterior looks quite boring. One idea would be to put the bay window on the upper floor (same x and y position) to get a larger children's room. I think the costs for that would be very high, though.
Preferred heating technology:
The house will be a solid house made of 36.5 cm bricks. Gas is available at the planned plot. We are considering either an air-to-water heat pump or a conventional gas heating with solar thermal. I have already compared a lot, but in the end, the operating costs are roughly the same. What would you recommend?
If you have to do without, which details/extensions would you omit?
- the bay window
Why did the design turn out the way it is? For example:
We looked at many floor plans. We adapted one to our needs.
What is the most important/basic question about the floor plan summarized in 130 characters?
Is this floor plan sensible?
How could it be made a bit smaller without losing too much space on the upper floor?
Kind regards
Kai
