Floor plan of a single-family house, feedback

How old are the children? Maybe I missed something.

I already mentioned it somewhere, yes, 11 and 13 at the planned move-in time.

I’m not talking about the stay, but about light through windows

... while all windows need to be reworked anyway. In bedrooms as well as bathrooms I would definitely not plan floor-level windows, instead 2 meter wide sill windows.

Ok, got it! Is a closet allowed there for storage?
And are there even overnight guests? The few can possibly also sleep upstairs in the multi-purpose room?! Downstairs then only office.

There will be overnight guests, yes, but not very often. I can well imagine having the study downstairs (9 sqm is enough), but the family wants me to stay upstairs. Both my wife and child 1 strongly prefer that. But here we are still quite flexible for some time, in case there is a change of mind — only the electrical planning will make a bigger difference. (Ok, maybe also the windows).

Regarding the windows: I’ll review again, currently the two children’s rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows there (one has one, the other both), the parents' room does not. The bathrooms neither. The one in the master bath is actually only 82 cm high, like in the master bedroom above the bed. About that, however, a friend who was just here said he would skip it — too much possibility of light coming into the bedroom — and facing the neighbors, you can be looked into.

Above all, the flat roof conservatory is as elegant as Herman Munster’s neck bolt. I also consider it removable as a subordinate component, after all, a "greenhouse roof" is one of the core features of a serious conservatory. Personally, when reading the development plan, I would have preferred to continue looking for a plot of land. Municipalities that have no sense of proportion should be punished with indifference, instead of taking your income tax residence there.

Hm. I’ve liked it here for a long time. And plots of land in good locations are really rare here.
Regarding size, the planned conservatory so far is also exempt from greening (under 25 sqm). I think the roof on it is more from the house builder’s planning.

And how different tastes are, from the pictures I didn’t find it ugly at all so far.

Give up the second shower and make the study smaller and the children’s rooms bigger. 12.8 sqm is really quite little.
Keep in mind that a 16-year-old will spend days in there someday; children don’t stay small forever...

I suggested that earlier, there was strong protest, the two want a separate bathroom. Preferable to a bit more space (keep in mind they are coming from very small space ratios). Quote: "And then I moved out at 18 or 20, and then it’s wasted space."

We just sat together and "redrew" the ground floor, based on the version from . I am not allowed to push the WC "up" to the left, it should not border on the living room, so the rooms at the lower left were not touched. The wall panel is still standing inside the living room, we are still undecided about the furnishing. Something needs to create separation, and a wall itself has the advantage that you can easily lay cables (power, LAN, lighting, ...) and also hang something like a TV on it. We want to play around with "furniture" later, the kids are making me something, and then we’ll see what comes out.

The large utility room is nicer this way, now there is also room for a dirty laundry sink, which we didn’t have in the plan so far.

It should also not be completely open hallway <-> living/dining room, so currently thinking about a (wide) glass door, possibly "applied on the wall".

Then they study in Fulda or in Würzburg or in Kassel and do not get any housing. Who knows what will happen and how it will turn out

I like the process of how you plan together as a family and express your wishes. What will help to find the best within the conditions is if you imagine different situations that are typical for your life, that you wish for in your life, and that bring you a lot of joy. Describe the situations without architecture and then see how they work in one or the other design.

Such separations can also be created without special architecture. There are sculptures, shelves, plants, stoves, light installations...

And they can also be changed when you no longer like them.

You could be service-oriented for once and make a section from the development plan yourself that sheds light on the situation (about 100 m image diagonal so that plan sections / knot lines and the like can also be seen). Wtf is actually the "BHL" of the retaining walls?

hm. I've liked it here for a long time. And plots are really rare here in usable locations.
In terms of size, the previously planned conservatory is also exempt from greening (under 25 sqm). I think the roof on top is rather from the planning by the house builder.

Plots are unfortunately real estate – you can't port them if the development plan authority got too hot under the collar.

And how different tastes are, based on the pictures I didn't find it so ugly at all so far.

A zero-pitch flat roof mercilessly reflects a terrain or its modeling, especially in combination with a Snow White building body (shoebox). The house simply appears roofless in the views. The terrain modeling will not work as drawn; no Bircorinne will prevent a heavy rain from crossing the boundary here.

I like the process of how you as a family plan together and express your wishes.

Not in a very essential point for me: namely, with whom. The draftsman of a prefab house company (or other general contractor) may be a nice listener as a person, but in terms of competence remains the wrong planning partner. In this plot-development plan constellation, I consider "Module A" with a freelance architect even more indispensable than usual.

The house looks simply roofless in the views.

P.S.: the elevation of the photovoltaic system should also be realistically drawn in there sometime, instead of just being noted as a text line on the parapet.
