Floor plan draft for a 220m² single-family house

What kind of obsession is this with the 6.20m? I mean, how do you come up with that? Is there some acoustic ideal dimension? Or will the [Leinwand] be 2m wide? That would be way too far for me. With a normal TV, I’d need binoculars.

I don't think it's bad either. I'll also print that out as a second alternative.

I looked at a lot today, pondered, and then developed an opinion regarding the exterior appearance. You showed me that the hip roof doesn't really fit the style of the house. I have looked at the different facades for a long time and now I'm clearly back to the flat roof for the planned house. In particular, 11ant brought my aesthetic perspective back into line.

This house front here simply fascinates me. I really want the house front to look somewhat like this! The continuous roof overhang, the garage integrated through the beam, the generous entrance situation! Why shouldn't that be possible instead of just a block without a continuous roof overhang (second photo)?

I am still almost completely convinced by the architect's design with the structural problems, so I would have it built that way if it were possible.

Slowly we are coming to the thought that the chimney disturbs more than it benefits. The chimney flue always seems like a foreign body, and in the adapted design it seems to be right in the middle of the room, which is a no-go.

What kind of obsession is this with 6.20m actually? I mean, how do you come up with that? Is there some acoustic ideal measurement? Or will the screen be 2m wide? That would be way too far for me. With a normal TV I'd need binoculars.

We currently also have 6.20m. We find the seating position ideal. Although the couch is already very close to the back wall and the speakers are not really behind the couch but rather to the side of it. At first we even wanted 6.40m so that they really stand behind the couch and proper surround sound is created. When the distance is 6.20m again, we'll put the couch a bit closer to the TV than now so that the desired positioning of the sound system can be done. We also tried putting the couch much closer for testing but then it was too close for us.

And aside from that. If such a 6.20m long living room is possible in a 145m² apartment, I would never have thought that this is such an exceptional thing in a 220m² house.....

Where now presumably only a partial basement will be built and no hobby room for a home cinema will be established, the whole thing is all the more important.

I looked at a lot today, pondered, and then developed an opinion regarding the exterior appearance. You showed me that the hip roof does not really match the style of the house. I studied the different façades for a long time and now I am clearly in favor of the flat roof for the planned house again. Especially 11ant has brought my aesthetic perspective back in line.

Did I? - I'm not sure yet...

Then you have insane protrusions in the masonry, even though you are already working with a different façade design to add variation. That is kind of redundant.

... describes it quite well

Is the prevailing opinion here that the solution with the hip roof does not fit? Because the house looks too much like Bauhaus when not with the hip roof?

It is simply the case that a different roof shape requires a different approach to protrusions / recesses / shadow lines / material changes, etc. Chocolate sauce does not optimally fit on scrambled eggs, and scrambled eggs do not fit optimally under chocolate sauce. These are not arguments against scrambled eggs or chocolate sauce, but only against combining them WITH each other. The so-called "Bauhaus style" may be too strict without plastic modeling of the façades and consequently demand it. However, a hip roof either gains a "fold" (and thus a dimension of complexity for the roof truss) with every projection or recess from the rectangular base shape, or you do not follow the house plan bends in the roof plan — with the consequence that the hat does not fit the face...

Still a bit compressed to 12.75 width.

Basically a good floor plan, but pantry on the south side is out of the question (it really gets too warm in summer) and if I remember correctly, no room where people sleep should be on that side, because it faces the A4.

Basically a good floor plan, but the pantry on the south side is not acceptable at all (it really gets too hot in summer) and if I remember correctly, no room where people sleep should be on that side either, as it faces the A4.

Yes, I had already thought about mirroring it. But then the living room would be completely in the north. Can that be justified?
