Hello everyone,
I am new to the forum, but I have been observing for a while and have already gathered quite a bit of knowledge.
Attached are the floor plans of the ground floor and upper floor for a single-family house; I know the dimensions do not yet match the floor area ratio, it is just a rough sketch for now, which I want to improve gradually.
Here are the details:
Development plan/restrictions
Plot size: 500 sqm, rear plot
Slope: No
Site coverage ratio: 0.2 -> 100 sqm
Floor area ratio: 0.3 -> 150 sqm without bathroom on the upper floor
Building window, building line, and boundary: only 3 m distance from the boundary must be maintained
Edge development
Number of parking spaces: 2
Number of stories: 1.5
Roof shape: shed roof
Style: modern
Orientation: southwest
Maximum heights/limits: eaves height max 4.5 m
Other requirements: old development plan -> bathroom upstairs and air space are not included in the floor area ratio; also no sealed surfaces outside
Client requirements
Style, roof shape, building type: massive construction, rather modern, large windows
Basement, floors: no basement, 1.5 stories
Number of people, age: 2 adults, 1 child (3 planned in total)
Space requirements on ground floor, upper floor: see floor plan
Office: family use or home office?: home office for 2-3 days/week
Overnight guests per year: 10
Open or closed architecture: open
Conservative or modern construction: modern
Open kitchen, cooking island: kitchen directly connected to the dining room via sliding door
Number of dining seats: 6
Fireplace: yes
Music/stereo wall: no
Balcony, roof terrace: no
Garage, carport: double carport -> 2 parking spaces as above
Utility garden, greenhouse: no
Other wishes/special features/daily routine, also reasons why something should or should not be: gallery window from ground floor to upper floor -> I know galleries are not very popular here, but we really like this
House design
Who designed the plan: self-made with building brochures and impressions from friends’ houses and show homes
What do you particularly like? Why? Open living area; the center of life and meeting point here; central string staircase
What do you not like? Why? Corridor size on the upper floor; it feels like wasted space because it is really only used as a corridor/hallway to the rooms
Price estimate according to architect/planner: still open
Personal price limit for the house, including equipment: 270,000 € excluding electrical, heating, sanitary, and outdoor facilities -> plot already deducted. We are building in northwest Germany
Preferred heating technology: heat pump
If you have to waive something, which details/extensions
-can you waive:
-can you not waive: size of the dressing room limited by the size of Ikea Pax, gallery window, shower in the ground floor bathroom, roller shutters in the ground floor
Why did the design turn out like it is now?
A mixture of many examples from various magazines...
What is the most important/basic question about the summarized in 130 characters?
I am looking forward to your opinions and would be happy about suggestions for improvement J
I have disregarded windows for now, we are still at the very beginning and it is only about the room layout for now...
Thank you very much in advance for your help and best regards
