Floor plan of a gable roof house 172 sqm - Please share your opinions

Without a basement, there is too little storage space and in my opinion too much space wasted on traffic areas. Otherwise, however, quite practical.

Agree with Apokolok: if there is no basement, there is far too little storage space. The staircase could be very easily turned around.

It wouldn't be my floor plan either, but if it is to stay as it is, I would rotate the guest room 90°, parallel to the kitchen wall, WC at the bottom left, with a wardrobe in front.

It's a pity if the guest room (probably not used daily) faces the south side. How busy is the street? Would it be possible to create a visual barrier here with a hedge? Then I would set the building further back and orient the living areas (living room, kitchen, dining) with the terrace in this direction.
Of course, that’s a bad idea on a through street, but if it is a relatively quiet residential area, it's quite justifiable.

You have more than enough space upstairs, so I would not just allow myself a small 2sqm storage room, but as already mentioned, upstairs a utility room with washer/dryer and space for ironing and cleaning supplies.
As it is, it just feels a bit uninspired. But it works.

Hello Anne, is there a site plan of the property including development?

What I notice: you have to always pass by the front door from the garage. If there is also a classic step in front of the front door, it could become tight. Spontaneously, I would say that one could reconsider the orientation and position of the buildings; however, an overview plan and the information whether the ridge direction has to be like that are missing. Perhaps then someone might also have ideas on how to orient the living room more towards the west...?

If the garage stays like this: the current location actually lends itself to extend a roof up to the front door and skip the door to the utility room. That would provide storage space there, which you don't have so generously on the ground floor (provided the guest room should stay relatively free from your things).

Regarding the living room, I wonder what you want to use the space by the French doors to the terrace for? No furniture is drawn in so far, and it would block the doors.

If you actually have guests that often, the guest WC might offer too little storage space. The passage to the shower also looks a bit narrow.

Have you considered in the upper floor swapping the bathroom, dressing room, and office so that the office faces south? I find the idea of adopting the wide window from the ground floor in the previous office a nice approach, but personally, in favor of storage space, I would make fewer floor-to-ceiling windows upstairs.

From the other topic about the lamps, I got a bit of the impression that you want to watch the money (at least somewhat). With the house size, it adds up quite quickly. The fall protection at all upper floor windows, the transverse gable, also the very large paved area up to the garage, for example, will not be exactly cheap and you should keep that in mind.

Overall, I have to say, you can certainly build, but you probably want to hear what might work better or could cause problems. :-)

Please upload the site plan with the house here. Including orientation. Then you don’t have to compare every line with the house here. People don’t like having multiple pages for a thread on the PC or iPad... A pencil drawing is sufficient.

I'm quite inexperienced with this, just stumbled across it out of personal interest... so no idea if the dimensions work... flip the staircase... so the entrance on the other side? Swap the dressing room and office, then enter the bedroom through the dressing room?

This doesn’t work because of the knee wall and the drawn 2-meter line. You would have to move the staircase, possibly make the entrance spiral... basically it results in a different floor plan.

With a house of this size, there is more potential than shown.
Not that the design doesn’t work. But it can be much better. However, the site plan is missing.

Nine and three quarters times twelve, gable roof. Down-to-earth like a liverwurst sandwich (which I quite like to eat). But it doesn’t get sexy even because of the little pickle (uh, the dormer). That’s not a shame and, in my opinion, can quite suffice. A house doesn’t have to blow you away, it should provide a roof for the family. I find a solid "simple" house better than an imitation of a star architect’s design, trimmed down for a middle-class plot.

The staircase is too small. Not by standards, but in practice. It won’t fit in 100 instead of 90 cm there, so you have to change it a bit – which is certainly possible. The extended partition wall in the living room runs into the sliding door (similarly in the bedroom), that’s a small thing I wouldn’t like. And that a desk would probably have to move into the dressing room if a second child comes?

I would also be tempted to see which alternatives the development plan would allow. Just a look over the fence. What were the motives for designing the draft that way?
