Hello everyone! We recently bought a great plot of land and are now looking forward to planning a single-family house for us and our 3 children. I have filled out the questionnaire, but first a few details about the plot and the location.
We bought a part of the garden of a large property. The seller lives in a bungalow on the remaining part. However, this will probably be sold within the next 10 years and then divided into 3.
The plot is a triangle (Parcel 4 in the last attachment). The access road is a dead-end street in the north. So, there is little traffic, but many walkers, as we are at the edge of the forest. To the south is a little-used street, which lies below our property. The south side of the plot is very private thanks to a tall hedge and tree planting. The plot is only overlooked by 2 houses to the north and the neighboring bungalow to the east. But later, a two-story house with an east-west orientation will probably be built in the east.
We therefore had the idea to build the house in an L-shape to create a private terrace and garden area that are not overlooked by the neighbor to the east. The south side should have as much glass as possible, since no one can look inside. Now to the questionnaire:
Development plan/Restrictions
Size of the plot - 830sqm
Slope - No
§34 Para. 1 Building Code applies – the following information mainly comes from the development plan for the neighboring houses:
Site coverage index 0.20
Floor area ratio 0.35
Building window, building line, and boundary
Edge development - Garage only
Number of parking spaces
Number of floors - II
Roof shape - Pitch 0 – 30 degrees
Style - Open construction; only detached houses
Orientation - According to preliminary decision North/South
Maximum heights/limits - Wall height 6.30m; ridge height 9.50m
Further requirements - Exceeding building boundaries for subordinate parts in the sense of the Building Utilization Ordinance § 23 by max. 1.50m is permitted
Requirements of the builders
Style, roof shape, building type - Single-family house, Bauhaus style with flat roof, L-shape
Cellar, floors - II plus cellar
Number of persons, ages - 5 aged 40, 40, 6, 4, 2
Space requirements on ground floor, upper floor
GF: living kitchen with pantry, living room somewhat separated, guest WC with shower, guest room/office, another office, cloakroom
UF: 3 x children’s rooms, children’s bathroom, parent’s room with bathroom and dressing room
Basement: technology, utility room, 1 living cellar room would be great for the kids as teenagers to watch TV, etc.
Office: family use or home office? Both mainly work from home
Guests per year Several times a year for 3 to 10 days (family abroad)
Open or closed architecture Open
Conservative or modern design Modern
Open kitchen, cooking island Yes; yes
Number of dining seats 8 to 10
Fireplace Yes
Music/stereo wall No
Balcony, roof terrace Balcony yes; roof terrace no
Garage, carport Attached double garage
Utility garden, greenhouse No, only raised bed
Further wishes/special features/daily routine, including reasons why this or that should not be - Further wishes: pool, possibly sauna (inside on the upper floor or outside).
House design
Who designed the plan: Architect
What do you particularly like? Why? Continuous windows on the south side: L-shape, which creates a private terrace; all bedrooms with mountain view to the south; separation of children’s rooms from the parents’ room.
What do you dislike? Why? Ground floor should be redesigned: another office is needed; WC has no window; living room possibly too large.
Price estimate according to architect/planner: 1.2m with cellar, garage, pool and outdoor facilities. Without land, ancillary building costs, kitchen, and lamps but otherwise “all in”
Personal price limit for the house, including equipment: 1.2-1.4m
Preferred heating technology: heat pump plus photovoltaics
If you had to do without, which details/extensions
-can you do without: pool and sauna
-can you not do without: 3 x children’s rooms; 2 offices (1 combined with guest room)
The main question right now is how we can optimize the ground floor, but I look forward to your comments and ideas!
The floor plans are oriented north!
