Please also add the other attic to post #15.
Post #28 corresponds to the ground floor and attic, only here in color. But it is the same floor plan
That would unfortunately mean the design can be forgotten
a pity
Therefore, it is unfortunately not accurate and/or advisable to want to replicate a specific floor plan and price-fitting house "with a different letterhead." Different provider – different catalog, no cross-transfer works here.
wouldn’t we then, as a budget-sensitive couple with €500,000 (crazy), always be better advised to rather look at the catalog floor plan if there is a suitable one? If an architect’s planning is carried out and offered in a tender, prices will inevitably be higher. The price-performance ratio should be best with a catalog floor plan, right? Of course, no floor plan should be chosen that can only be awkwardly adapted over several corners..(?)
BZ is quite attractive in price for its clientele, but their clientele is simply not comparable to you as budget-sensitive – BZ builds for full-time dual earners, of whom at least one holds a university degree and is entitled to a company car (not opulent, a 3 series / A4)
We fall professionally exactly into this category. I believe nowadays and especially since Corona it takes more (two business administration bachelors) to just shrug off a budget of €600,000+.
The "Evolution" 161 is a complete bore without any aesthetic claim and in terms of style miles behind the architect’s first design. Although it has somewhat more demanding rooms to furnish on the upper floor, it also has a flair that can bring coziness to every room.
Thanks for your feedback. What specifically makes the design boring to you and the architect’s design better?
I’m actually still looking for the jack of all trades...
A terrace facing south/west, kitchen and living room facing the garden and away from the street. View over the fields (right side of the plan) and still access to the terrace in the south. Because of the garage, this is probably only possible if it sits very far forward and the house grows rather narrow into the garden so that windows on the left and right can still have an effect. Left to let in light from the southwest, right to enable the view.
Unfortunately, the house resulting from the architect’s floor plan does not appeal to us visually “from the outside” that much. We have not received a 3D model but by chance discovered a house that would correspond exactly to the floor plan (viewed from the front) (garage however on the left, picture attached).
For completeness, I simulated the sun path (currently May) for the plot (red line = sunset).
Here you can also see the neighboring buildings a bit better. One argument from the architect was also to turn the terrace away from the neighbor. Because if it were directly aligned with the hedge, you would sit quite close here since the neighbor’s terrace also borders the hedge. Maybe that makes the first design somewhat more comprehensible but does not solve the problem of the "dark ground floor."
About the plot itself since it was mentioned: the depth is 30m (net from the building area) and 35m gross
