Floor plan discussion based on existing thread

Hello everyone,

so far I have addressed my topics in the thread "Vorgehen für Einfamilienhaus Neubau bei vorhandenem Grundstück."

At your request, I have now created a new thread to show you a draft floor plan.
I would be happy if you share with me what you notice. We have an appointment soon, in which we want to give our observations/change requests, etc. to the architect.

Thank you very much and best regards

You should definitely fill out the questionnaire despite the previous thread. See the pinned thread in the subforum.

What said. Additionally: Long distances from the door to the kitchen with groceries. Why is the terrace only accessible from the kitchen? Horrible walk-in closet, very narrow bedroom.

Thanks, I find the path to the kitchen via the terrace door short. We also want an exit from the dining area. Regarding the dressing room, we had thought about simply omitting the door and the slanted piece of wall.

Despite the previous thread, you should definitely fill out the questionnaire. See pinned thread in the subforum.

Here is the questionnaire: Development plan/restrictions Plot size 769m² Sloping Yes Floor area ratio see plan Number of floors ratio see plan Building window, building line and boundary see plan Edge development see plan Number of parking spaces 2 in the yard Number of floors basement, ground floor, upper floor gable roof Style Direction Orientation Maximum heights/limits max. ridge height 8m Further requirements Requirements of the builders Style direction, roof type, building type single-family house , floors basement yes, ground floor, upper floor Number of people, age 2 adults (32+34), 1 child (0) Room requirements on ground floor, upper floor living area + kitchen, guest WC, storage room, bedroom, dressing room, 2x children's rooms, bathroom Office: family use or home office? home office Guests per year 5 Open or closed architecture living area open, rest rather closed Conservative or modern style looks rather conservative Open , kitchen island open, yes Number of dining seats 6-8 Fireplace yes, missing in the design Music/stereo wall no Balcony, roof terrace no Garage, carport yes, execution depending on budget Utility garden, greenhouse yes Further wishes/special features/daily routine, feel free to give reasons why this or that should not be included The orientation towards the view / southeast is important to us, this is well implemented by the arrangement on the plot House design Who designed it: -Architect What do you like especially? Why? Ultimately, our specifications have been taken into account; open plan area, terrace is pleasing What do you not like? Why? Everything a bit too "plain"; shower visible; missing fireplace; dressing room access; terrace exit from living area Cost estimate according to architect/planner: - Personal price limit for the house, incl. equipment: - Preferred heating technology: heat pump If you have to do without, which details/extensions -can you do without: garage -cannot do without: remaining room requirements, the design represents the "minimum" for us Why is the design as it is now? e.g. Standard design from the planner? no Which wishes have been implemented by the architect? yes What makes it particularly good or bad in your eyes? see 130 character summary What is the most important/fundamental question about the floor plan summarized in 130 characters? Basically our specifications have been implemented, we like the open plan area with the large window front. Otherwise, we may be missing a few square meters overall and we lack the "special". It still looks very much like a "simple, square, small house". A covered entrance with columns, but a bay window or a recess, a dormer or something else would be initial ideas, depending on what money is left.

Sorry, based on your information I cannot assess the property.

Floor area ratio see plan
Floor space index see plan
Building window, building line and boundary see plan
Edge development see plan

Where can you see this information on the plan? Not even the entire property is visible on your site plan and where the access is, is unfortunately unclear. At the bottom left of the plan it also says access but apparently nearly the entire front garden is to be paved as well. I find that quite absurd and immediately I ask again about the floor area ratio?

From where do the 8m ridge height apply? As the 2m line is drawn now, you cannot place any cabinets in your dressing room at all, at least not the tall cabinets shown.

I also haven't read anything about a budget, which is not unimportant on a slope. The latter absolutely needs to be included.
And yes, the design is rather simple and the lone door into the open space strikes me as a bit bleak. But that doesn't matter at first as long as the legal requirements have not been met or are doubtful.

Overall too little information and too many contradictions for a discussion. You should not expect someone to read the previous thread in order to answer something here. That's exactly why a new thread is created, so you don't have to read 30 pages, but all information is concentrated on page 1.
