Floor plan & positioning Single-family house approx. 150 sqm 2 full floors Gable roof

In the ground floor, my initial draft was adopted almost 1:1, although this was not even required.

You wanted a green Mile and that’s what you got.
Is there still a question from you that remains open?

You wanted a green mile and you got one.

"Green mile" - how should I understand that? The planning on the upper floor is new, I would appreciate input. Are there serious planning errors? Or solutions where anyone else would think "what nonsense"? Are there any small changes that could make the house appear more "spacious" overall? I am not completely satisfied yet, not even with the ground floor. But I am quite lacking ideas regarding similarly cost- and space-efficient floor plans on the ground and upper floors (excluding the attic and garage, of course that could be done more efficiently).

Are there any small changes that could make the house overall appear more "generous"? I'm still not completely satisfied myself, not even with the ground floor. However, I am quite at a loss when it comes to similarly cost- and space-efficient floor plans for the ground and upper floors

I would raise the wall between the children's rooms and the door of the upper children's room by about 30 cm, and angle the wall between the bathroom and the hallway. Due to strong similarities, I consider by to be a suitable source of inspiration.

"Green mile" - how am I supposed to understand that?

Well, Green Mile should be a term. Here you have a long corridor that was drawn in green – that was adopted by the planner. Just as you specified.

The planning on the upper floor is new, I would appreciate input.

The bedroom should not be a walkthrough room, that makes no sense with the door and the dressing room. Put the door into the dressing room, then the bedroom is less disturbed. Also, I would move the passage bedroom/dressing room forward (i.e. top of the plan). Almost 21 sqm for the parent area is quite an achievement. The soil pipe in the bathroom is simply impossible in that position. That’s not how you plan riser pipes; you place them in the corner of the room. Windows above the bathtub and stairwell windows are difficult to clean.

Or solutions where everyone else thinks "what nonsense"?

The freezer/laundry room is too small. Overall, there is hardly any storage space in the house. I find the door to the office okay in terms of location. What I don’t like at all: the large terrace door from the chill area. It belongs to the dining or kitchen area. Or rather, the kitchen should be near the terrace. The chill area (sofa) doesn’t need a passage to the terrace. So give up the huge terrace door there, rotate the sofa so it also fits on the back wall and doesn’t look outgrown, and then put the TV on the exterior wall. Skip the partition wall. With the roofing, pay attention that not all south-facing windows get no light at all. Note: The garage, with the one meter gap at the property boundary, is still considered boundary construction. Therefore, according to fire protection regulations, the side windows are not allowed.

The downpipe in the bathroom is simply impossible from that position. You don't plan risers like that; you put them in the corner of the room.

I could imagine that you mean a laundry chute with that.

I would raise the wall between the children's rooms and the door of the upper children's room by about 30 cm and angle the wall between the bathroom and the hallway.

Thanks for the tip, we will definitely consider that.

Well, Green Mile should be a familiar term.
Here you specified a long hallway, which was drawn in green - it was adopted by the planner. Just as you specified it.

Oh yes, that's right. Avoiding the long corridor would only be possible with 1) a north-facing entrance (along the long side of the house) or 2) a design where the kitchen is closer to the entrance.
Number 1) led to several more square meters in every variant I tried.
Number 2) I tried, which resulted exactly in the floor plan from post #31 by



by Zaba12. None ideal.

The bedroom should not be a walk-through room; that makes no sense with the door and the dressing room. Put the door into the dressing room, then the bedroom is more undisturbed. Also, I would move the bedroom/dressing room passage forward (i.e. towards the top of the plan). Nearly 21 sqm for the parents' area is quite a statement anyway.

We will do exactly that. Thanks!
I also find 21 sqm almost too much, but what else should you do with it (too much sqm upstairs...).

The soil pipe in the bathroom is simply impossible in that position. That's not how you plan risers; you place them in the room corner.

Do I understand this correctly: The drains from the shower and bathtub cannot be routed straight down via the soil pipe because the wardrobe area is underneath? The solution would be positioning around the corner northeast above the utility room?
Or are the symbols for the soil pipe the two squares with an X next to the sink? – I interpreted those as cabinets.
The square with an O is the laundry chute, which in my opinion is not ideally positioned.

The freezer/utility room is too small.

Unfortunately, it can't be much bigger... Dryer/washing machine might also be moved upstairs.

What I don't like at all: the large terrace door from the chill area. It belongs to the dining or kitchen area. Or rather, the kitchen should be near the terrace. The chill area (sofa) does not need access to the terrace.
So give up the mega terrace door there, rotate the sofa so it also fits against the back wall and doesn’t look out of place, and put the TV on the outer wall. Forego the partition wall.

This is one of the few points where I have not compromised so far. I have the couch positioned exactly like this in my current home. Advantages: view into the greenery through floor-to-ceiling windows, the sun does not glare, in the warm season you always sit on the sofa with fresh air through the open terrace door... Only in my opinion, the distance to the TV should be at least 3.7 m contrary to the current plan (currently 3.5 m).

With the roofing, make sure that not all south-facing windows no longer receive any light.

According to the sun position analysis, the sun should still shine far into the rooms most of the year (except in summer). There is also consideration of partly glass roofing with fabric blinds.

Note: The garage still counts as boundary development with the one-meter gap at the property boundary. Therefore, the side windows are not allowed according to fire protection regulations,

Thanks, the window positions in the garage will still be discussed in detail with the planner.
