@ Arauki...I meant that I like the room layout so far. What I don’t like yet is that the house is a bit too wide and the hallway is too big for me. I’m hoping for suggestions here to optimize it. The window front, especially the south side, also does not yet match my ideas.
I really can’t understand that you like such a room layout with a budget of 850,000.-. You didn’t respond to my comment about the dark hallways. My former neighbor’s house had such a windowless hallway, an absolute planning failure in a new build! The bathrooms just turned out somehow and are now being equipped as best as possible with accessories, not nice and yet costing the same money. Even an architecture student would certainly tell you the same, a dark room in the middle is a flop. A hallway can also be a living hallway that fits nicely into a living concept, but I don’t see such a thing here. Just now I see that on page 5 you submitted another design. That’s the problem with missing questionnaires or piecemeal messages. After 3 days everyone has forgotten what is written on page xy in a foreign thread and doesn’t want to search for it anymore. People would rather watch Bonanza. What can one say about your problem with the window front if one only sees a floor plan draft that comes sometime after countless inquiries. What’s wrong with this front? Is there a nuclear power plant or the Zugspitze there? Building a house is an overall project. What is the south side, how do the individual residents on each floor want to live there? Is it perhaps more sensible not to have terraces/balconies stacked above each other etc.? If you want to build it like this now, I would probably remove the whole wall between the hallway and the living area and thus create an open living space that can be furnished with furniture modules if needed; then you have more light there. Possibly one could install a glass door next to it as a separation of the entire bedroom area, then there would also be some light behind it and yet there would still be a separation. For that, I would give the living area larger window surfaces, but that can’t be meaningfully considered with just a floor plan; you’d also add blinds, maybe a bit more room height, and that would give it at least somewhat of a “loft character” in my imagination; but that also requires a concept, with oak brutalist furniture and a checkered 3-2-1 sofa it looks awkward again.
Yes, the two apartments will be the same. One above the other in city villa style.
I always flinch at such platitudes here in the house building forum. A villa or Bauhaus style does not come from a banal geometric shape alone. For example, I once lived on a Jugendstil villa floor, there were 150 sqm per floor and presidential, though rather awkward to use rooms. Your floor plan has nothing to do with a villa, and it doesn’t have to, but it could have a nice design, even without the word “villa.” Your current floor plan is simply loveless, uncomfortable and unlivable but you want to build it like that. You also can’t just cut off a meter somewhere. So – if you really want help here, start a new thread, that’s not a problem. Make it easier for the participants here with lots of info and put your resistance to advice aside a bit and you will see positive development! Or just build the thing quickly, because speed seems to be far more important to you than imagination, and that’s fine; already tens of thousands of lovelessly designed houses have been built, so one more doesn’t really matter. Sorry – I prefer direct language, but it is really not meant to be mean or hurtful, otherwise I cannot express my incomprehension of this dark room clearly enough, but ultimately it’s your thing and you decide about it; my opinion may be irrelevant to you.
