Floor plan of a two-family house, ground floor and attic apartment

If you were to upload JPEGs instead of the PDFs, probably more people would participate ;)

... and sensibly give the drawings a few more dimensions so that one can estimate the room proportions more quickly without measuring and relating them.

The room program corresponds to my design. And the more space, the more cost. We are modest anyway :)

No, I don’t see any room program! But I must also admit that I’m not going to sit down now and do room calculations or possess a crystal ball.

So the parents below. And upstairs then possibly later a family with max. 2 children. Currently no child yet, but planned later :)

So, you’re probably wondering why these questions about age and number of people (among others) appear in the questionnaire. It’s simply because a family with 3 small children has a different space requirement than a middle-aged couple. A senior couple also has a different need again.
You write about a family, so not your own? Just any family then.

You now understand that we cannot know or assume anything about you. Guessing is pretty pointless and I notice that most people have little desire to constantly ask you for info, even though they want to help.

What do you think of our design?

Does our planning make sense?

Therefore, also referring to my #11: I do not consider your planning to be sensible.

Yes, exactly, the ground floor should be as barrier-free as possible, and less space is needed downstairs than upstairs. That’s the dilemma.

That would be a reason for me to consider attaching the garage to the house and building on top of it. That could solve the problem. I would recommend a soundproof ceiling anyway because of children’s bouncy castles on the upper floor.

Attached is a sketch of how something like that could look. So far, however, I haven’t managed to fit a guest WC on the ground floor. Guests have to use the bathroom. :D
Okay, on the upper floor, the door hits the bedroom door. There are still a few cosmetic flaws.

The big question is the money. Who pays what here? :)

Kerstin, the property is 20 meters wide. How is the orientation on your side?


Best regards, Yvonne

Ok, upstairs the door opens against the bedroom door. There are still a few cosmetic flaws.

Sorry, #17 was not meant for Kerstin, but for you :)
