Hello dear community,

since the beginning of this year we have been planning our prefabricated house with Weberhaus and are now close to signing the contract. Since we have been following this forum from the start to answer our questions and get ideas, we now wanted to take the opportunity to upload our floor plan to get feedback from the community.

Overall, we are quite happy with the planning – we are only still tweaking the bathroom. For personal/health reasons, the second access through the bedroom is mandatory, even if it costs a few square meters.

The two openings to the kitchen and living room will be sliding doors.

Have fun looking and giving input.

Best regards
Stefan

Here are a few facts

Plot / Restrictions:
762m² plot in residential area, old property, no slope,
20*38m, garden facing NNE
No building restrictions (no floor area ratio etc.)
1 parking space
Gable roof with 25 degrees

Client Requirements
Small footprint, but spatial separation into living (ground floor), sleeping (upper floor) and working (basement)
Two people + possibly child + dog
Home office in basement, studio possibly as private practice
No fireplace,
Carport to be added later (no garage)
Open kitchen
Rather modern construction but not eccentric
Large bathroom with access from bedroom
Large shower and wider hallways
Wardrobe in the hallway
Bed facing east
Washing machine in the bathroom

Current House Design
Originates from Weberhaus based on our input
Particularly liked: You can open everything on the ground floor and theoretically look from the stairs into the garden
Still undecided: The bathroom and the noise exposure in the bedroom from the washbasin
Price estimate: €570,000 including basement (heated)

The priorities are clear with 17sqm bathroom and 25sqm bedroom compared to 13sqm children's room... Your child will stay there longer than you in the bedroom...

The bathroom is creepy, especially that dead corner with the washing machine. Better to place the shower in the corner instead.

If you sit on the right edge of the bed in the bedroom, you can look directly at the toilet bowl, a dream.

The bedroom with the dressing area is 25 sqm. Are you being advised by an architect or just a salesperson?

Why does it have to be a prefabricated house? Your floor plan clearly shows that you're trying to force your wishes into the standard floor plan with a crowbar. Especially since the 570k euros are anything but cheap.

There is no point in discussing this since neither a site plan is available nor is it known how the house is positioned on the property.

Private practice of what? Is commercial use permitted according to the development plan? Escape routes from the practice? Access to the practice through the private floor?

I have to agree with on his first sentence.

I would be more concerned about that sliding door, which is anything but soundproof. In addition, there is a living room (dining area) beneath the bathroom, which does not exactly benefit from the bathroom’s drainage. Due to the two window sides, there are hardly any options for disposing of the wastewater. The spatial feeling of a desired large bathroom is taken away by the massive brick shower in the middle.
What if a child comes after all – then they will have to sleep next to the washing machine and the shower…
If it were a 109 sqm terraced house, you'd live with it… but if you pay for a Weberhaus, I would invest more in the planning.
.
I kind of stumble over this sentence:

Whether it is incontinence, mobility impairment, or whatever limitations there may be: the whole house is not built for disabilities. When you enter the bathroom, you look straight at the toilet; multiple tight spots and corners are artificially built in; in the hallway, you get claustrophobic. On the ground floor, the kitchen nook is annoying, then you have to ask why heavy leaking sliding doors are planned everywhere.

Wouldn’t it be nice to also have it practical? What is wished for? Privacy or openness? Options are good, but usually not both optimized.
Where would the second sliding door in the living room be?
I think sliding doors are being given magical powers here. They look stylish, yes. But you can overdo it. Practically, I don't consider them useful (I also have one) and they are rather an eye-catcher from which you shouldn’t expect too much. They usually don’t do what a door is supposed to do.


With these specifications (the rest is unfortunately a bit thin), many things come to mind, but not a compact 3-story house.

I find it rather impractical. I am also not a fan of too large a built-up area, but with the right zoning, a size-optimized 2-story house should fit better.

Unfortunately, the site plan and the indication of where the carport should later be located are missing. From where would the property be accessed, and is it intended that patients (practice) should use the outside stairs to the basement?
So there isn't much constructive criticism to give, but a suggestion to change the location of bathrooms and kitchen near the terrace and possibly the orientation of the rooms. Then, considering a dog, think about the stairs and the dog's sleeping place, possibly a shower on the ground floor or wherever you come in with the dog. The basement stairs and entrance area are too fragmented for me, and the bathroom in the basement is too far away.
Keep in mind that every toilet must be vented upwards through the roof.
And yes, if there should be a child, then the children's room should also be proportionally appreciated compared to the other rooms.
Regarding the main question bathroom, quite a bit has already been said. Shower in L-shape, then the toilet behind it, washbasin with a side window, and the washing machine shouldn't exactly be a disturbing factor in the feel-good bathroom either.
