Hello everyone,
I have been a silent reader for a few months now, and regarding our construction project, we have already come so far that we have chosen a construction company and, above all, a floor plan. From our point of view, the floor plan is really good, but we lack a "realistic" perspective from others on our floor plan idea. By realistic, I mean suitable for everyday life. We simply lack experience in building planning, and therefore my request to the community is to evaluate the floor plan. Of course, we are also open to other suggestions for improvement!
Development plan/restrictions:
nothing significant
Size of the plot:
20x40m, see site plan. Approx. 809m²
Slope:
very slight slope towards the street front
Site coverage ratio
0.4
Floor area ratio
0.8
Building window, building line and boundary
See site plan
Border development
Garage may be built on the boundary, otherwise 3m distance to neighboring plots
Number of parking spaces
2 according to development plan
Number of floors
2
Roof shape
Gable roof
Style direction
Classic
Orientation
?
Maximum heights/limits
TH: 4.50m
FH: 8.50m
Other requirements
-
Requirements of the builders
Style direction, roof shape, building type
Classic style with gable roof
Basement, floors
without basement, 2 floors as far as the eaves height allows
Number of people, age
Currently 2 adults, both 30, 6-month-old daughter, 2 more children planned within the next 4 years
Floor plan room requirements on ground and upper floor
Basically no exact m² requirement. Generally a very spacious open living, dining, and kitchen area, as in our opinion most of the shared life will take place here.
Office: family use or home office?
Currently used as a home office, later the parents' bedroom will move into the office to enable single-level living.
Overnight guests per year
0
Open or closed architecture
open living, dining, kitchen area; otherwise closed architecture due to the expected noise level from 3 children
Conservative or modern construction
rather conservative
Open kitchen, kitchen island
see above, not necessarily a kitchen island, stove preferably on the wall
Number of dining seats
Kitchen desired in U-shape, counter extending into the living area
Main dining table in the conservatory
Fireplace
not planned
Music/stereo wall
no
Balcony, roof terrace
not desired
Garage, carport
Garage in 4x9m, or for cost reasons possibly 3.57 x 9m
Utility garden, greenhouse
A turtle enclosure of approx. 100m² and possibly a chicken coop will be built on the property.
Further wishes/special features/daily routine, also reasons why this or that should or should not be
Wife works in shifts, therefore access to the bedroom via the dressing room
House design
Who created the plan:
- Planner from a construction company
What do you particularly like? Why?
The absolute highlight will be the spacious conservatory in the living area.
Anyone who has already been to the Stommel House show home in the prefab house world in Frechen inspired us, as we were absolutely thrilled by it. My father is a carpenter and will install an open "fake" beam ceiling inside, which will then be finished with a pale white glaze.
What don’t you like? Why?
Basement floor plan: Personally, I would prefer the shower access in the upstairs bathroom to be from the side, so that nothing splashes in the bathroom while showering.
Ground floor plan: Are there possibilities to design the staircase differently (wall), so that from the entrance you can directly look at the double doors to the living room?
Price estimate according to architect/planner:
irrelevant
Personal price limit for the house, including equipment:
irrelevant
Preferred heating technology:
District heating obligation
If you have to give up, on which details/extensions
- You can give up: Basically very willing to compromise
- You cannot give up: Conservatory, third gable on the front
Why did the floor plan design turn out as it is now?
Our wishes were taken into account by the builder.
What makes the floor plan particularly good or bad in your eyes?
Basically, all our wishes are implemented in the floor plan; in my eyes, not much is bad.
What is the most important/basic question about the desired floor plan summed up in 130 characters?
As mentioned before, I would like feedback on the "everyday suitability" of our floor plan idea. Suggestions for the upstairs bathroom floor plan and staircase position.
Many thanks!
Best regards
Johnson
