Floor plan draft for a 220m² single-family house

Good morning first of all.

I also believe that the SW pipe should not be dramatized. There are definitely worse problems on a construction site than laying a 100 mm KG pipe in a Steuerberater ceiling. No one makes a fuss about ventilation pipes either. (Yes, I know, they are thinner, but if planned in time, a 100 mm pipe is no problem either.) One should just make sure that the pipe does not lose its connection due to buoyancy or similar during concreting. Such a problem should not occur with KG2000 pipes.

Alternatively, I could imagine a suspended ceiling, which would solve the whole problem anyway. I wouldn’t find that unreasonable for such a house. It depends on what other technology will be installed, especially electrical installations. If you want to install other recessed lights than the usual spots, it already becomes more difficult with installation boxes in the Steuerberater ceiling, many things only work with a suspended ceiling.

I find two other points much more interesting:

1. If the niche is to be built in the living room, why don’t you cantilever it out as far as in the office? I would find that more visually appealing, but that is a matter of taste.

2. Structurally, this will be an interesting matter because the living room will have relatively large ceiling spans, and on top of that, the upper floor walls do not stand above the ground floor walls. This applies to a large part of the top facade, as well as almost all interior walls. I am certainly not a structural engineer, but I could imagine that these points will have to be supported by beams in the ground floor, which are visually anything but nice. I would rather ask the architect this and communicate clearly that you do not want to see beams in the living area (if that is desired, it might also be that you want a steel beam in exposed installation). Alternatively, a necessary beam could be concealed again by a suspended ceiling.

The niche could be managed. But it’s more living space that no one needs and has to be paid for. The architect said it also adds a bit of dynamism to the facade. It doesn’t bother me. I will ask about the beam.

Corner off? What do you mean by that?

Here you go, including marked black water:

2. Statics will indeed be an interesting matter, since you will have relatively large spans of the ceiling in the living room,

I see it similarly.

Really cool cabin. I would reconsider the following points:
Ground floor
- Stair direction
- Path from the sofa to the fridge (swap kitchen / pantry?)
- Small shower bathroom on the ground floor, although there is a lot of space available in front of it
Upper floor
- Children's room / parents' bedroom directly next to each other (soundproofing), although plenty of rooms could serve as a buffer
- Drainage of the parents' bathroom is already being discussed

Sorry if there are repetitions, I don’t want to have to read the entire giant thread.

Thank you 11ant:

What is the problem with the fact that there is open space above the couch on the upper floor? We no longer need living space there and if we artificially expanded it, it would of course become unnecessarily more expensive.

and if we artificially extended that, it would of course become unnecessarily more expensive.

Having the outer wall bent here will already be more expensive from a structural engineering perspective than having 8 sqm more space than needed. It doesn't bother me, I don't have to rake leaves in this vestibule.
