Floor plan single-family house, approx. 200 sqm without basement - assessment

Living space and garage: either more expensive or the architect has a completely different (more cost-effective) way to integrate a party room.

Well then I'll take 5 of those too, because they're so cost-effective. No, no, there's nothing magical about it. The room has to be dry, have heating, a toilet – so also water, insulated, plastered, flooring, windows, etc. – and we're not even talking about painting or wallpapering, because OP might do that themselves. A roof has to go on it, structural engineering, building permit... if that comes under 1200,- EUR per m², I'd like to have the address of that developer.

, although the OP writes about groundwater, if you take the size of the outbuilding "double garage+" and calculate it: maybe a house with a basement is comparatively cheaper after all?

I understand it as the OP giving specifications to the experts, and as a result, some possibilities are not being presented to him.

, the OP does mention groundwater, but if you take the size of the auxiliary building "double garage+" and calculate: maybe a house with a basement is comparatively cheaper after all?

Well, that's possible. However, I don't see which rooms would all go into the basement? Ok, the utilities and maybe the bike room, but the rest? Party in the basement? Oh no. Guest in the basement? That's stupid. Laundry room? The running around – oh no. But: The cars! YES! That I would consider. With groundwater, you just put in a tub. Then there’s a lot more garden – yippy! And for partying, I’d rather take the living room! You can then also grill wonderfully in the garden and continue the party....

Why, do I need permission?

Hello,

A lot has happened here.
Thanks for the new draft, I’ll take a look at it this evening.

The garage could possibly be a bit smaller, that’s true. I would like it on the house, but I’m not quite sure where I’d want to save space.

Regarding the wooden fence: We generally think it’s better not to only look at the 3m strip behind the house when looking out from the kitchen, regardless of what kind of planting is there!
Therefore, kitchen west.

One argument for the kitchen in the east would be that it’s brighter there in the morning. And I could imagine the kitchen in the east if it is arranged completely in the south so that you can go directly from there onto the terrace.
So, basically the kitchen mirrored upwards and the living room downwards.
But, who would have thought, that bothers me again. Namely that with the sofa completely in the west, you’re “almost on the street.”
If there is a big window there, you always have to bar everything up directly in the dark season so that people can’t watch you on the sofa.

I don’t understand the fuss about the house being way too big, even if my price is quite high. So I would like to see where I can save money. But I know enough people/families who also have such houses, with an extra room in the garage, etc.

The price of 290,000 was only for the house. The garage downstairs should cost 570,000 and the upstairs expansion 310,000. That makes quite a sum.

What would be your estimate of the savings if I remove the painting and wallpapering from the turnkey price of 290,000€ for the house?
If I do that myself?

How big would that saving be, can someone tell me?

I want to say, let’s look at my last blue draft (with a narrow corridor between the guest WC and utility room).

If I could now do without the kitchen island and the 2m bench. Then there would be an L-shape there and the corner bench would be only 1.3m x 1.7m, for example. Then I could just shorten the whole house about 50cm to 1m from east to west.
The guest WC would then be shorter, kitchen narrower, living room can remain the same length.

1m x 12m length is also 12sqm, then add the upper floor, another 12sqm.
So the house would be about 20sqm smaller, at 1300€ that would be 26,000€.

However, you can’t really calculate the “making it 1m narrower” like that. Because I have the heating, light switches and windows the same way. The tiles, small parts of the walls and the wallpaper and ceiling will be less, but does that bring so much in relation to the smaller space requirement?
