Dear everyone, I have been following the discussions in this forum for a while and find the feedback on the individual questions very helpful. We are building for the first time – with all the knowledge gaps that come with it… ;-)
Our plot is challenging because it is triangular, narrow, and has a requirement of 4m distance at the front building line and 20m to the point. However, the orientation is great and we have a beautiful distant view. We want to preserve as much garden space as possible and also have a distant view of nature and maximum sun – from sunrise to sunset. Hence the idea to partially solve the living area as "floating" on the upper floor with a terrace and access to the garden. Direct access from the ground floor to the garden is not so important to us.
Due to the building regulations, a large part in the eastern direction remains undevelopable or possibly usable for outbuildings. Access should be through this area and this part of the garden should become the front garden. The house should be barrier-free. The area should be optimally used, with plenty of storage space, flexible, multifunctional rooms and large, floor-to-ceiling windows/doors or fixed glazing.
What do you think of our considerations? What weaknesses do you see?
Thanks in advance for any candid criticism and your suggestions.
Development plan
Plot size - 590m2
Slight slope and SW orientation
Maximum height – 8m
Client requirements
Clear lines, flat or shed roof
Floors – ground floor, upper floor, attic, total approx. 190m2
People – 2 in their prime and 2 dogs
Office: home office
Guest sleepers per year – 5-10
Open architecture
Construction style – modern design, clear and reduced forms with interesting accents, targeted breaks that give the house something unobtrusively unique (façade, materials, …).
Open kitchen, possibly cooking island, but with some visual protection (bar or similar)
Number of dining places – 8
Fireplace – ideally as a room divider between living room and dining area
Music/stereo wall – soundbar at the TV, additional speakers distributed throughout the house
Balcony, roof terrace – on upper and attic floors
Carport for 2 cars
House design
Plan from the architect
Ground floor – entrance, utility rooms, fitness/work/guest room, bathroom & sauna
Upper floor – living, cooking & eating, natural, sunny, cozy, "public area", terrace
Attic – bedroom, sunny private (retreat) area, terrace
Garden – to be enlarged as much as possible in perspective, covered terrace, biotope near the terrace
What do you particularly like?
The open living-dining area on the 1st floor, the floor-to-ceiling windows, the course of the sun in the living area.
What do you not like?
We feel that the room layout could be better and possibly with less square meters you can achieve the same living feeling.
On the ground floor only the sauna is drawn in, shower, sink and WC are still missing. The large room is to be used as a fitness/work/guest room and is somewhat oversized.
Preferred heating technology: geothermal baskets and photovoltaics on the roof
Attachments: site plan, floor plans, exterior view
