Floor plan design single-family house limited size

Sure. Because we want to build for old age. We have already passed 50. And I won’t renovate again.

Then you sell the house in 20-25 years, if you don’t need the upper floor anymore because you can’t manage the stairs. Because you won’t be able to maintain the garden anyway – especially with a slope.

Build for today and not for the day after tomorrow.

P.S. Even if you plan normally, it can be for old age. A staircase for a stairlift is THE solution – today a normal house with stairs for today’s conditions and in old age the perfect house when you are brought from the ground floor to the upper floor. No one has to renovate then.

Our draft basically fits within the given framework conditions.

That's exactly the difficult part. The external dimensions are fixed. We can still change everything inside. The stepped floor with a 7° roof pitch is also fixed.

Can you please stop with the nonsense of wanting to design the floor plan yourselves? I see neither talent nor a completed architecture degree that could help with that. Please leave it to the professionals.
The draft belongs in the trash. Period.

That's exactly what's difficult. The exterior dimensions are fixed. Inside, we can still change everything. The recessed floor with a 7° roof pitch is also fixed.

Choosing between the ball and the rope is not easy.

We are only allowed exterior dimensions of 114 m2. We keep to that with the structure. Also, a single-story design is specified. With the recessed floor, we therefore try to generate a bit more space.

Chief Inspector Sven Hansen would say: "we once had a case in Hamburg ..." (but if I remember correctly, it was 117 sqm there) (?)

I always wonder about age. My grandma, at 95, was still climbing up and down the narrow stairs... and are these stairlifts already out of fashion again? I would have thought they get better over the years and don’t completely disappear again?

But honestly. If you’re so wiped out that you can’t get up the stairs anymore, you definitely don’t have the strength to keep a house in shape, let alone a 3,000m² estate. Especially since it’s also on a slope. If you can’t climb 3 steps anymore, you’re hardly going to manage the 10, 20 meters of elevation on the property. Then it’s just over for a while and you go to a nursing home for the winter of your life…

Otherwise, basically everything has been said, although I’m not necessarily convinced that an architect can produce brilliant floor plans just by studying... in the end, experience also makes a big difference. A skilled worker who has done electrical planning for 25 years beats any electrical engineer with 5 years of professional experience, and so on. But yes... if what came out after a long planning phase was like that... then it was probably the architect right after graduation with a 4.0 on their thesis...

That's exactly the problem. The exterior dimensions are fixed. Inside, we can still change everything. The attic floor with a 7° roof pitch is also fixed.

Certainly. Because we want to build for old age. We have already exceeded 50. And I am not going to renovate again.

A trained architect will be able to design a significantly better floor plan even with the fixed exterior dimensions and other specifications; that should be no problem.

And regarding the second part, what speaks against planning it as I suggested so that the office on the ground floor and the bedroom on the upper floor can be swapped later? Only one bathroom per floor and no additional guest WC.

I also agree with . A hillside plot is usually not the right choice from the start if you put so much value on planning for old age. In that case, having one staircase in the house is usually the lesser evil. Especially since, as mentioned, there are solutions for this, whether in the form of stairlifts or small elevators (I once saw one in a house exhibition from Lifton, but there are certainly other brands as well). With a small elevator in particular, you could already provide an appropriate location for it in the floor plan and implement it later if it is subsidized in old age.

So DIY is rubbish

That's how it is! The plan is full of many errors, whether the exterior walls are fixed or not. There is no talent, spatial effect, or functionality to be seen. This is building blocks 3.0 for adults. The orientation is still unknown, right?
