Floor plan single-family house city villa with granny flat - What do you think?

Washing machine stands for washing machine, yes. Does grandma have floor space or does she wash at your place (that would also work :)) My grandmas always had a bit more small furniture. Besides, you always appreciate it when there’s a wall behind the sofa (cave effect - no enemy sneaks up from behind ;))

Grandma may also do her laundry in the utility room; in return, we expect a few treats :-). Yes, the architect initially didn’t plan windows behind the couch. But since it’s the south side, we definitely wanted windows. Behind the windows, however, the ground is hollowed out.

Make sure you can furnish with a shelf that also offers your required floor space. In the terraced house with a basement, we had a base cabinet with drawers in the kitchen just for cleaning stuff. That would also be an alternative, because the vacuum cleaner and yellow bags take up a lot of space :(

Hmm, the tip with the Billy shelf was good; they are 80 cm wide. I’ll tell the architect to go from 75 cm to 82.5 cm. You could also put a cabinet behind the front door where the vacuum cleaner can go.

So, you can google the space requirements for dining tables + chairs on the internet. A 90 cm wide table needs about 290 cm with chairs when someone is sitting. You also want to be able to walk past guests... Play it through: two sit at the table, one wants to sit at the counter... You have to figure out how you solve that.

I just looked and opened about 10 pages but didn’t find a decent site. Could you please name one for me?

Yep :) If you recess (the kitchen must not become too big for working in the triangle (preparation, fridge, cooking, sink)), you could do without it. A corner always looks more elegant than a wall stump. You could also put a plant or floor vase there.

Unfortunately, I didn’t understand that point. "If you recess not too big... you could do without it?" What do you mean :-)? And do you mean a large plant instead of a wall extension?

Floor space... I’m just pointing it out. We built for two: airy and spacious does not contradict needed floor space. I prefer to plan a 2-meter built-in closet rather than later putting together mismatched small cabinets everywhere that are not decoration but necessary. That’s very disturbing to the eye and despite a large area no longer airy. Do you understand what I mean?

Yes, I do. We already have all the cupboards in our terraced house, whether in the bedroom, living room, etc., all are already there and will be moved because everything was only bought about 3 years ago. Right now, we fit every cupboard in the right place and even have a bit more space.

I’m still wondering if it makes sense to swap the location of the fireplace and the door on the ground floor. What do you think?

In the granny flat, I just noticed that the living room is quite open. You can even see from the couch if someone enters through the main door. Maybe two walls with a door should be built there so you can close the living room as well. What do you think?

If you could pull the counter a bit into the kitchen, then you could do without the privacy wall, yes. It would look more elegant, and if a bit of the kitchen was still visible, then you could switch to a plant ;)

In the granny flat, I would probably also plan a closed hallway. The view is uncomfortable - bad sightline. Maybe enlarge the living room window in the middle of the building and omit the "lower" one on the plan -> possibly more coziness. Just play around with it :)

Regarding the 80 cm in the pantry: keep in mind that there will still be plaster. That could be up to 1.5 cm and uneven. But you can simply stretch boards from wall to wall on screwed brackets, so you’re not so bound by the measurements. I didn’t understand where exactly the pantry is supposed to go for you. Probably :rolleyes:

Hello everyone,

so I now have the redesigned bathroom available. What do you think? I find it much better than before.




We really wanted to have a triangle in the roof. Unfortunately, that is not possible without a porch. According to the development plan, we are allowed a 50cm roof overhang for this gable but only 30cm.




There are now a few more windows on the west side.

I do not see any attachments.

Much better! I'm glad my ideas have borne fruit. :-)

The corner bathtub is still a matter of taste, but it is your taste, after all. ;-)

The bathroom can also get a floor-to-ceiling window on the west side, which would be more symmetrical from the outside.

We don't want the corner bathtub at all. It's probably due to the program. We initially wanted a floor-to-ceiling west-facing window in the bathroom as well. However, it's located in front of the shower. You can see up there from the street. We're not that uninhibited. :-)

What do you think about the extension on the north elevation? Better to leave it out without a gable? Or extend it all the way down?
