Hello everyone,
in the meantime, we have a plot of land in sight and have given more thought to the floor plan. I have already created several versions, all differing in details. Uploaded is the current version of our considerations and an attempt to fit the floor plan into a somewhat smaller area. Unfortunately, when reducing the size on the upper floor, the only idea I have is to slightly set back the doors, so the rooms get "warts". Maybe there are other suggestions for this.
Because it is hard to see: The staircase in the normal version is quarter-turn and leads to the north on the upper floor. The staircase in the smaller version is half-turn and leads to the east.
Development plan/restrictions: no development plan, i.e. according to the neighboring development
Size of the plot: 800 sqm
Slope: no
Floor area ratio: no specification
Plot ratio: no specification
Number of stories: 1.5
Roof shape: gable roof
Orientation: living room facing north
Requirements of the builders
Basement: no basement
Number of persons, age: two adults, two kindergarten children
Space requirement on ground floor and upper floor: as shown in the floor plan
Office: home office
Guest nights per year: 30 nights p.a.
Open or closed architecture: rather closed
Conservative or modern construction: rather conservative
Open kitchen, kitchen island: no
Number of dining seats: 4 in the kitchen, 6-8 in the living room
Fireplace: no
Music/stereo wall: no
Balcony, roof terrace: no
Garage, carport: no considerations so far
Utility garden, greenhouse: no
Further wishes/special features/daily routine, also reasons why this or that should not be: Living room facing north is desired, as we want a connection to the terrace and it should not be in direct bright sun. Office in the south also fits, as it is used during the day.
House design
From whom is the design: own planning as a mix of many floor plans from catalogs
What do you particularly like? Why?: space in the living room for family celebrations (putting two tables together...), kitchen and living room connected to the terrace
What do you not like? Why?: house might be a bit too big for the budget limit -> reduction without major compromises possible?
Personal budget limit for the house, including equipment: 300,000 EUR
Preferred heating technology: gas + the essentials for the 2017 energy saving ordinance
If you have to do without, on which details/features can you dispense:
- you can dispense with: guest room on the upper floor could, if necessary, be integrated into the office
What is the most important/basic question about the floor plan summarized in 130 characters?:
Could the floor plan be reduced further without making major compromises?
P.S.: The bathroom fittings are for now just placed without care, only so that it can be recognized as a bathroom. The planning is not that far yet.
