Hello dear forum community.
After a long and more or less intensive search, I have a plot of land in prospect which fits quite well into our search criteria in terms of location and orientation.
With approx. 500m² (20mx25m), the plot is not exactly generously sized. Therefore, we have now created initial sketches to see if our ideas and wishes are compatible with the plot size. The floor plan is based on our first ideas and personal needs. Since we are both still in our late 20s and currently live in a condominium, we probably haven't thought of everything yet?
We look forward to your opinions! Very much in plain language, please.
Requirements of the builders
Style, roof shape, building type: modern, roof doesn’t matter, no sloping ceilings
Basement, floors: no basement, 2 floors
Number of persons, age: 3 persons, 2 adults, 1 child planned
Office: 2x home office
Overnight guests per year: max. 10x
Open or closed architecture: open
Conservative or modern construction: modern
Cooking/dining/living combined
Number of dining seats: 8
Garage, carport: min. 2 garages
Further wishes/special features/daily routine:
- wind-protected terrace
- Controlled residential ventilation
- open and straightforward floor plan
House design
Who planned it: Do-it-yourself
Preferred heating technology: geothermal with ground probe sounds interesting
Energy Saving Ordinance 2016 is to be met, nothing more
Why is the design as it is now?
- Most ideas developed over time in the head
What is the fundamental question about the floor plan summarized in 130 characters?
How do you like the floor plan? What are absolute no-gos from your point of view? What have we not considered? (Also regarding children)
Info on the first sketch:
Above is a neighboring house
Below and left is farmland
Right is a small road
Edit: Location of the plot uploaded. (North is at the top)
