Here again our wishes listed:
Room wishes/ideas for the house:
Double garage directly adjacent to the house including workshop and intermediate corridor/room for bicycles, the 2nd staircase to the party room.
Ground Floor (GF):
- Bathroom with shower (approx. 6-9 sqm)
- Study room, which may later serve as a bedroom including 2-3m wardrobe (approx. 17 sqm)
- Utility room or rather cloakroom/shoe room, which is directly accessible from the garage (from which you can always enter the house when you arrive in the garage) (approx. 18 sqm including small kitchenette)
- Living/dining combined (at least 40 sqm)
- Stove in the living room
- Kitchen (closed, but preferably with a large double sliding door to make it „open“) including seating area, ideally with a kind of cooking island
- Pantry directly next to the kitchen (approx. 3 sqm, incl. freezer)
- Hallway with guest wardrobe (preferably accessible to the toilet)
- GF and upper floor (UF) should later be relatively easy to separate if, for example, a child with family wants to live there and we move completely to the GF.
- Every room must have a window.
Upper Floor (UF):
- Children’s room 1 (at least 18 sqm)
- Children’s room 2 (at least 18 sqm)
- Master bedroom with separate dressing room (narrow and long, wardrobes on both sides)
- Bathroom with 2 washbasins and large shower and bathtub
- Laundry room on the upper floor (dryer, washing machine, iron, and drying rack)
- No children’s toilet
Room above garage as basement replacement:
- Large room as alternative party room
- 2nd staircase from garage to the room above
- Toilet (WC + washbasin) in garage room
General wish:
- Terrace on the south side accessible both from the living/dining room and the kitchen
- Linear (straight staircase), but if necessary also no problem otherwise
- Roof as steep as possible, currently as said 30° and 1.1m knee wall. 35° might also be feasible (problem keyword: attic otherwise too large and thus a new floor).
Development plan requirements:
- Single-storey
- Maximum eaves height 4.5m
- Many roof variants, but gable roof is our wish
Plot:
E-W 20m x N-S 40m as a strip (narrowing towards the south) street length west side 31.5m
Border building to the north, 3m distance planned to the east.
We have very fixed ideas and I have my relatively firm views. Therefore, there are already 15 pages of correspondence here and some friction. I know the tips are well meant, but those involved always strike the deeply embedded path again, which does not improve my position here.
In general, I believe it can be done better, I just don’t know how. Because simply looking nicer with compromises on my side doesn’t work for me either.
In 90% of all floor plans, kitchen / living and dining are somehow overall implemented as an L-shape. Maybe that would help us, but I can’t get it incorporated.
Anyone who gives me an approach that greatly improves the previous one deserves a reward.
Best regards
