Floor plan: Preliminary draft from the prefabricated house provider is available

I am unsure about the stair details. So far, I trust that the architect of the construction company knows best what dimensions the stairs need to have. I once noted that the U-shaped landing staircase (without intermediate wall) is just under 200 cm wide and about 3.4 m long. The current stair shape measures approximately 380x170 cm. The ceiling has about 30 cm plus floor covering - not 45 cm.

Good morning,

where do you actually want to build? In NRW or RP?

I assume that your design complies with the development plan, so I find it well executed - except for minor details. Contrary to the prejudices described here, I also think that the staircase shape is a good choice and would not change it if I were you. To bring light into the attic, a daylight spot is sufficient; in the evening, the light switch will be used anyway. Light strips above the interior doors also convey a sense of brightness.

What I do not think is well thought out is the location of the bathroom above the AZ of the ground floor. I think a swap between "Child 1" and "Bathroom" is worth considering. Otherwise, the comparatively low knee wall can be well integrated through clever furnishing. Moreover, it has repeatedly proven in the past that sloping ceilings create very cozy rooms; children don't care anyway, as they use the entire floor area and not just the living area according to DIN.

It can be debated whether too few windows are planned, and whether the exterior view does not meet the eye’s desire for harmony. On the other hand, people live inside the house, not outside it, and the idea of life inside the house also needs to be implemented. A good compromise here could be the alternation between floor-to-ceiling window doors and light strips. It flatters the optics and ensures sufficient light in the house.

You write at one point that the house costs—how high are they projected?—are slowly reaching a point that must not be exceeded. Why then must it necessarily be a clinker house?

Rhenish greetings

313 - 30+~2 are but 281 cm, aren't they?
Where are you limited, in the eaves height or in the ridge height? The question is whether you really need such high rooms in such "small" spaces.
I'm guessing a bit: set the ceiling height to 2.60~ and use the additional 20 cm in the attic for a higher knee wall - this also saves you one step on the stairs.

In the end, it has to please you and not me I already wrote in the first post: it’s not a disaster at the moment either.

I am still stuck on the opinion that the living area is not bright enough. Help me out: according to this "Lichtverordnung," only about 10% of the floor area must be implemented as glass area, right? I assume that these 10% were chosen so that it is, let's say, "sufficiently" bright. We now have about 40 sqm of living space in this area and 11.5 sqm of glass area – that's why I am so surprised that this doesn't at least amount to a "satisfactory" or even "good."

[QUOTE="krachbumms, post: 99299, member: 24152"]we now have about 40sqm of living space in this area and 11.5sqm of glass area - that’s why I’m so surprised that this is not at least enough for a "satisfactory" or even "good".[ /QUOTE] The current trend is - here no different - many windows in the living/dining area; whether it is enough for furnishing is often secondary.

You have to "replace" ⅛ of the floor area with glass, then sufficient lighting is ensured; but your planners will know that.

Our development plan is great - with one exception: this incredibly low knee wall! Reducing the floor height on the ground floor therefore does not help, and besides, the wife would run away from me. Brick cladding is being done because it doesn’t cost any more and because we live in NRW very close to the open-cast mine. You can’t even imagine the amount of coal dust in the air here and how much it affects the plastered houses in the neighborhood.
