The central vacuum cleaner helps here. @TE: Even though many nowadays tend to rely solely on a robotic vacuum, you always need a "real" vacuum cleaner. I would always plan for that.so that I don't hear the noise of the vacuum cleaner as much
That's exactly what I meant :) Then you only have to look at the light well: either move the house or relocate the light well to the south.Funny, that was my first thought too: to align the house with the right property boundary
Is that now 160sqm + basement? For the Stuttgart suburbs I have learned that different construction prices apply than, for example, here in Brandenburg. Therefore, one should calculate 3,000 € * 160 = 480,000 € + basement easily 100,000 €. So we are at about 600,000 € + additional building costs. But that was not the question.
What I personally would not like is if people first had to walk through the kitchen to get to the living room. The kitchen must of course ALWAYS be spotless, because guests always walk there first.
I would also leave out the pantry, instead build the kitchen in an L-shape + the probably desired island. Otherwise, I find the living room quite narrow with 3.77m.
This is a very conservative, unobtrusive design reflecting the spirit of the times, which is practical and well thought-out. If that suits you, great.
It’s a matter of taste. It also depends on what you get to see out of the window. I like a large open connection from inside to outside and prefer lots of light, so I generally like floor-to-ceiling windows.
As writes: leave out the pantry and build an L-shape.
I wouldn’t like the toilet right next to the bathtub. Give up on the outer symmetry of the windows. Then you can place a T with a separate toilet and shower where the bathtub is now and move the bathtub to where the shower currently is.
I agree with that this is optimistic.
Despite the square floor plan, I see very little wasted space except for the typical “waste” between the cooking and dining area. Also, the entrance area has reserves. But a generous entrance is also a nice feature. So a matter of taste.
I don’t see it right now unless children share a room or the parents move into the attic or someone has to go to the basement...
As a guest, I feel very comfortable in a busy house with relaxed hosts. Whether there is stuff lying around in the kitchen or not really doesn’t matter to me. As a host, I can comfortably welcome guests even if it’s not spotless. Those who also don’t stress about it don’t mind the kitchen’s central location. (Our entrance is combined with the laundry room – sometimes this comes as a surprise but nobody has ever complained about it...)
It can be named here without problems. I suspect it is one with its own construction system (?)
What are those 9 or 7 cm layers under the ceilings: installation levels?
Also, the reasoning behind your choice of this provider or this construction system might be interesting for the readers.
Let's assume that HeinzLöwe does not leave plates with food scraps standing around, but they go straight into the property... then the design is a very solid design.
Personally, I don't like some things, but that's not worth mentioning, because it will work. I checked the height of the basement and windows for a living room, the location of the light wells, so that they do not collide with the terrace.
The lighting situation in the house, or rather the west side, could be improved by rotating the whole house slightly counterclockwise. Then you get the benefit of having a bit more garden space on the west side. Also, the house would then have a bit more flair, which is somewhat lacking.
I would also design the pantry a bit more straightforwardly - it feels like a foreign body in the otherwise simple design.
I find the upper floor a bit tight in terms of the hallway and the possibility for bedroom wardrobes. But that is the compromise of everything.
The shower partition can even be omitted.
Somehow the staircase there seems like a foreign body to me. A spacious entrance is nice, but here it is rather convoluted and I miss the corresponding spaciousness in the living area. Therefore, I would rather allocate the floor space of the entrance to the living area. Maybe you should also question the frequently discussed square floor plan for your purposes/wishes. The proportions between entrance/kitchen/living don’t appeal to me that much; so far, the floor plan seems to me rather loveless than tailored individually to your wishes (which I do not know in detail), definitely more is possible there.
On the ground floor, I would give the guest WC a small shower; at the latest when the children get older, they will appreciate it (e.g. partially use the entrance space for that). The bathroom on the upper floor could also give up about 2 sqm and could still be a nice bathroom; size alone has no real value there either. The current planning with the door swinging into the shower area is not nice, neither is the position of the WC. The children’s rooms are quite large but even there, measured against other room sizes, maybe 2 sqm less each would be sufficient for storage space or dressing/wardrobe area. In the basement you have three larger rooms, that’s a luxury missing upstairs; maybe bedrooms could be moved down there to create more open space upstairs on the ground floor. I would also try a rather rectangular floor plan in your place; you can find thousands of those on the internet. Windows? I am currently sitting in our half-finished “glass box” but looking outside through large windows into the greenery; we love it.
Nanana... could it sometimes be the egg before the chicken? :D. But it is indeed true that you should pay much more attention to your own very habits and wishes, there is no right or wrong there either. Therefore, I am always happy to see other lifestyles and habits, even if they sound partly funny to me. Variety is nice after all, which is why I always point out that you should find your own path instead of aligning yourself too much to the more uniform thinking and living of other builders. For example, our basic idea has always been open living and we like large windows; friends come without notice. An activity that seems rather hectic to me when guests arrive immediately takes away my joy, I would also easily go to bed and let the guests continue the party alone. Therefore, such visits never stress me.
