Floor plan single-family house OWL approx. 150 sqm with east garden

I would revert to the previously planned wall layout between the children's rooms for the cupboards.

I agree, otherwise it will be very inconvenient for the children's rooms. I would even consider moving the wall between the office and child 1 a bit further to the left, drawing it straight from the bottom to the top of the plan.

After we have been in discussions with the general contractor for 11 months now and have been struggling with our plans in this forum since January, the time has come. We have clarified everything and will sign next week. Many thanks to your contributions here in the forum! They were very helpful, and we especially oriented ourselves around the input from and are super happy with it!

On the plan, north is always up.

This is how it will look from the outside. The bay window at the front facing the street (west) will be plastered – probably light gray or a light earth tone, the rest is brick-clad. The bay window with the staircase will have venetian blinds. We are still deciding whether the roof tiles will be flat, laid straight or alternating. The roof edges will not be extended.

OG:
Please don’t be confused by the stairs and the spiral staircase in the office. In the draft, we had it checked where and how we would later get a staircase upstairs if we decide to convert the attic. We will now have the wooden roof structure in the dressing room prepared so that we could install a space-saving staircase there to go upstairs. But that is still a long way off, especially since the ventilation and heating concept up there doesn’t fit at all.

Basement:
The house will have a controlled residential ventilation system with heat recovery and a heat pump. I’m especially curious about the room-specific heating load calculation for the heat pump. That will be interesting after the countless questions on the internet about bathrooms that don’t get warm.

Thanks again to the forum. Soon I’ll probably be found more in the picture thread. The start is set for September at the latest.

About the floor plan:
is clear, I like it.

I'm just not a fan of 2 doors to the living and kitchen area.

I’m just not a fan of having 2 doors to the living and kitchen area.

We have discussed this topic 1001 times with all kinds of people and have gone through the walking routes. We always ended up wanting to go directly from the front door into the kitchen and also from the kitchen directly to the basement. A door to the kitchen must therefore be there. It’s the same from the sofa, for example if you need to go to the bathroom.

And just like that, there were two doors. They will stay. If we ever realize that we could live with just the door in the living area, the one to the kitchen will simply be closed off.

But thanks for the compliment on the floor plan!

Please do not be confused by the stairs and the spiral staircase in the office. In the draft, we have had it checked where and how we could later install a staircase going up, in case we decide to finish the attic after all. We will now have the wooden roof structure in the dressing room prepared so that we could get up there with a space-saving staircase.

Why from the dressing room? Will it be removed because the bedroom will be up there then? Or what is supposed to go up there?

We also find it very practical to be able to walk in a circle between the kitchen, [WZ/EZ], and the hallway!
