Floor plan options single-family house 130-150 sqm, 1.5 stories, hillside location

Yes, of course. A catalog house is definitely more recommendable than a custom design by a drafting slave (it doesn’t help much if the client has already done the creative part).

Either I’m mixing up statements from different people right now, or I’m simply confused, or I turned off my April Fool’s detector too early – I had rather read the consensus so far as “sloped plot with put-on serial house is nonsense.” Why would one then go straight to the architect as you recommend if a catalog house is more recommendable? :oops:

I already quoted Albert Borland this week: “I don’t believe that, Tim!” :)

Maybe I also presented this point incorrectly, but the scope of services clearly states that one offer is to be obtained from the corresponding partner companies each time. I am free to additionally go searching on my own with the requests created, but of course that’s my freedom/fun. Now, of course, one may question partner companies critically, but at least one of them I know personally well enough (in a positive way) – it may be a coincidence, but with the regionality and size, I do not assume ill intentions.

A piano, a piano! (would you maybe like a zigzag wall with that?)

I didn’t like walls until I realized that walls also provide space – where else would the furnishings go. Even if I can’t imagine a zigzag wall, I’m no longer allowed to categorically say no. ;)

I expected more from a living basement than just housing the entrance, guest room, and sauna there.

Now you’ve made me curious. a) According to which metric would the meaningfulness of basement use be measured from your point of view, and b) what would be examples of a living basement that meets expectations or at least lives up to the term?

Sorry edit, found the plan.

Are there also elevations for the property? Likewise for the finished floor levels of the floors. The reference should be a fixed point. What is stated in the development plan?

Has there not been a proposal yet with [UG] and [EG]?

I am missing a plan where the house is planned on the property, with outdoor facilities? Carport or garage?

The property plan should be created first.

It is not yet surveyed, but the house on the property with a future garage/carport is shown in the initial post with contour lines (1 line corresponds to 1m). Whether it will be a garage or carport depends on the survey, budget, and undecided wishes.

Planned are wooden beam ceilings, from finished floor/structural shell height in the basement 2.30m/2.71m, in the ground floor 2.40m/2.80m, in the attic KN from 1.28m with an open roof structure (roof insulation) with 40º roof pitch (4.36m height in the middle).

Unfortunately, I do not know what finished floor means, nor what is meant by the reference. The development plan states 2 floors with height restriction (KN exemption planned).

What do you mean by suggestion UG/EG?

So far, I had rather read the consensus - "sloping plot with a prefabricated house on top is nonsense" - Why go directly to an architect as you recommend, if a catalog house is more advisable?

a) According to which metric would the meaningfulness of basement use be measured from your point of view, and b) what would be examples of a basement that fulfills expectations or at least lives up to the term?

Taking a catalog house and putting it on a basement due to the slope is often done "wrong" (in the economic sense). Namely, by choosing a house model that already fulfills the room program completely without the basement. Then it is better to hire an architect to develop a design that distributes the room program more cleverly. Compared to an individual plan by a "real architect" (i.e., a general contractor draftsman) instead of an architect, the catalog house is however again the higher-quality choice. And that means you then choose a model that utilizes the basement (so the rooms located there allow the upper floors to be smaller accordingly). Where a sloping site enriches a basement on the valley side with daylight rooms (including a view), I would also use this. Doing this with a sauna and guest room is, in my opinion, "weakly efficient." In the league of 130 to 150 square meters of living space, we are not yet talking about a high-end room program, but merely a relaxed one, where other average citizens still have to be a bit more economical. By the way, simplified, a catalog house is "as good as it is often built."

The specifications clearly state that an offer is to be obtained from the respective partner companies.

Do I understand correctly: Your "general contractor" is actually more of a site manager and construction craftsman agent than a classical general contractor, and arranges offers for all trades for you, even if you only want to carry out the shell construction with him?

Even though I cannot imagine what a zigzag wall is, I am no longer allowed to categorically say no.

If you look up "Zickzackwand" with the forum search, you will find (I only stumbled upon it because of the piano).

Unfortunately, I do not know what finished floor is, nor what is meant by the reference.

Top edge of the finished floor does not refer to organized crime in Fürstenfeldbruck, but rather the top edge of the finished floor. Height specifications without a reference point are more or less worthless. The spectrum ranges from floating reference heights (annoying because more of a punishment than information) to clear, plot-specific "uniform floor heights" (pleasantly understandable for laypersons, but unfortunately not standard).

Then I ask differently. Regarding the finished floor, has already answered. Is there a development plan? What does it say about heights? Reference points, etc.?

UG / EG means without a basement. UG as a living area.
