Floor plan of a single-family house approximately 150-160 sqm on a 480 sqm plot in Middle Franconia

Hello,

I think your budget will be tight if you build with a basement. Not impossible, but tight.

I find dimensioned digital plans much better by far; I don’t have to count the squares on the screen. I believe you will get more feedback with digital plans.

What I noticed after a lot of counting:
- Please upload a floor plan of the basement

Attached, including the revised plans for the ground floor and upper floor

- You have one shower too few for 4 people, once the kids are older and take longer in the bathroom

The second shower is in the guest bathroom in the basement

- Frugality and “open and transparent architecture” are commendable, but there should still be enough windows on the upper floor. Please draw them in.
- The same applies to the ground floor; according to the plan, the WC, hallway, and music room have no windows. I doubt that is correct.

I have not yet considered the exact arrangement of windows. In the attached plans, I have them as

- The hallway is separated from the living area with glass elements, if I interpret that correctly? That is neither simple nor cheap.

That is understood correctly. If it becomes prohibitively expensive, we will leave it out.

- The children’s rooms are tube-shaped, making them less usable than the 15 sq.m. (if I counted correctly: 2.5m × 5m + 1m × 2.5m?) would suggest. A well-meant play corridor doesn’t help either.
- In return, you took a big gulp from the bottle with the bedroom at > 21 sq.m. The children spend significantly more time in their rooms than the adults do in the bedroom; consider whether this has been/will be taken into account in your proportions and planning.

I have made the dimensions of the rooms in the upper floor more balanced. All three rooms are now practically the same size

Overall, I like the ideas for the ground floor, but I find the upper floor inappropriate and not well thought out in terms of rooms and relationships between rooms.

Do you like the new upper floor better?

Best regards

Thank you very much for the very constructive criticism!

In my opinion 12.5m * 8.5m Exterior wall 50cm?? Without a basement, the utility room is definitely missing.

The utility room ended up in the basement

According to BYA the property is about 21 m wide. WHERE did you get the 18.5 m from? Slope to the north 1 m, slight incline.

I measured the dimensions from the cadastral extract.

Where is the wardrobe? I mean, the cabinets with a depth of 60cm, not the hooks for spontaneous clothing…

Thanks <3 for drawing on millimeter paper :)

they should be placed to the right of the entrance

Is the basement within the budget?
