Floor plan design townhouse with a gable roof

Our idea and implemented by the architect

The price estimate from the architect is already very naive.

The hunched-over falling into bed on one side in the master bedroom I find interesting.

Yes, that’s true. Forgot to mention above that we will award everything individually to trades.
This way we hope to keep construction costs between €2600 and €2700.

No basement possible due to peat soil and groundwater problems.

Personal price limit for the house, including equipment: 550k

If you calculate with the typical 3000€ per sqm, you’d be at 600,000€.

According to the architect, it’s not necessary

Everything looks very cramped or maybe it’s deceiving.

conservative or modern style: modern open kitchen, kitchen island: closed kitchen

We are considering enlarging the office and moving the technology to the utility room and leaving out the wardrobe because the utility room is currently not well designed.

According to the architect, we don’t need an entrance platform.

It will definitely be very warm upstairs in the attic in summer, right?

You’re right about the bedroom. What would be a sensible solution there?

For that, you have an attic – which you wouldn’t have with a town villa!
yeah, oops.

That’s true.

True. However, I also don’t see 200sqm, as up there there are only 3/4. Or? How many sqm is that?

Currently just under 196sqm + terrace + storage room + attic

True! But that might play a role for the budget for the architect. In which federal state is it being built?
Lower Saxony

I have the same feeling. I find the room layout on the ground floor very arbitrary, don’t know if I would personally like it.
Actually, I know that, for example, the kitchen here is inadequate. I calculated once: in our holiday mobile home, just under 40sqm, we had about the same-sized kitchen, slightly smaller, which of course is not enough for everyday use. I’m talking about two people here. For five, I would plan roughly twice as much cabinet space, and then please with a daylight window.
And then there’s the unnecessary recess of the cloakroom; one recess the depth of a cupboard would be enough. Swap the TK with the office? Utility room in a more discreet position? Where would you want to spend barbecue evenings? The kitchen should have its place there too.
There is a lot of potential overall.
The south-facing window should also be somewhat enlarged.

Yes, what now?

Completely removing cloakrooms is not a good idea!

But it’s nicer! What do you want?

Why should it be warm there? A cheer for thermal insulation, nothing gets warm there except through the windows.

The storage room must go. Then put the bed under the sloping roof.

[*]Kitchen .. lots of space, but poorly drawn kitchen layout.
[*]The technical room is supposed to be the house connection room .. as far away from the street as possible and the access is also built over
[*]If terraces are planned somewhere, then please also properly draw the house into the plot, but there is no exit from the kitchen, only past the dining table .. these are actually impractical routes
A site plan with a current Google view would also be good, so you can see how the other plots are already built on
And regarding parking spaces .. where are the bicycles of 5 people supposed to go, for example? Always past the carport next to the car?
[*]Master bedroom is absolutely not acceptable
[*]Office will be quite a dark hole

Yes, we have now done it so that we make a small cloakroom for guests, the office is being enlarged and the technology is moved to the utility room where it belongs.

A closed kitchen with seating is important to us.
What else could be designed differently here??

Do you think the hallways are okay?
