Hello everyone!
Now I dare to share our draft. It is supposed to be a single-family house with a gable roof, which is relatively "classic" here in our area. The plot is available, about 920 sqm in size. There is no development plan; the construction is subject to § 34 of the Building Code. I am attaching a site plan (not of the best quality). A stream runs south of the plot; to the north, the access road; to the east, a field path.
Roughly, these are our ideas:
- the garage directly attached to the house with the possibility to use the space above the garage;
- a "fixed" staircase (i.e., no retractable staircase) up to the attic, to keep the option of using it (as a small room);
- we do not want the entire "open living" in kitchen/dining/living.
All our wishes are considered in the draft so far. I am aware that it is not a small and therefore not an inexpensive house and that it does not represent the "most efficient" floor plan. The furniture shown is only exemplary and does not represent a concrete plan. The "office" on the ground floor is intended as a private office. The dormer gable facing south does not bring a living advantage, but in my opinion is visually necessary, since four dormers would not look good (I had the corresponding view).
So, now I would simply ask for your opinions on the draft! Are there any major blunders or things that you would say "absolutely not" or that definitely need to be changed, or does the draft have to be completely off the table?
Thank you very much in advance for your assessments! Best regards, Wulf
