Floor plans of a single-family house with a granny flat, 280 m2 on a pleasantly small 320 m2 plot

You don’t need to struggle with the basement usage layout when its function is uncertain anyway. The ground floor offers enough problems. Narrow entrance area without wardrobe space for a family of four. Kitchen has too little storage and work space. Distance between kitchen unit and dining table is too tight. Dining area dimensions are optimistic. Lounge corner without a TV? Bathroom walls are very thin and directly adjacent to the living area. Access to the bathtub bathroom is directly in the hallway in front of the front door, with a lot of porcelain in a small space – is that barely 8 sqm? Lots of empty circulation space inside, storage room too far from the kitchen, study with what function if the entire basement is supposed to be office space? Your rooms hardly have more space than in a small apartment. The center of your house swallows usable space without function. But of course, that’s exactly what you want, you like it, you think it’s great. Or the neighbors have it like that too.

Can someone also say something about the EG and make Katja a suggestion?

For example, I did that under #27…

Hi Katja, apparently you are the only one giving good advice. The bend in the technical room was due to the necessary installation space / riser shaft. But it can probably still be changed. What do you think about this?

For example, I did that under #27…

Thank you for this. The staircase fits very well for us at the edge and our upper floor layout also suits us very well that way. All of this can no longer be implemented if the staircase, which significantly influences the floor plan, is placed in the middle. On the ground floor, your suggestion still lacks a separation from the upper floor if you want to use the ground floor and upper floor separately later. That way, you can see the person upstairs naked when going from the bathroom to the bedroom :-)

You don’t have to get hung up on the basement usage distribution when its function is uncertain anyway. The ground floor offers enough problems. Narrow entrance area without cloakroom space for a family of four. Kitchen has too little storage and work space. Distance between kitchen unit and dining table is too tight. Dining area dimensions are optimistic. Lounge corner without a TV? Bathroom walls are very thin and directly adjacent to the living area. Access to the bathtub bathroom is directly in the hallway in front of the front door and there is a lot of porcelain on little space – is that about 8 sqm? Lots of empty circulation space inside, storage room too far from the kitchen, study with what function if the whole basement is supposed to be office space? Your rooms hardly have more space than a small apartment. Your house core swallows usable space without function. But sure, that’s exactly what suits you, you want it, you think it’s great. Or the neighbors have it that way too.

Ground floor: Cloakroom in the area under the stairs + hallway has enough space for a stroller and dressing area. We have measured the kitchen multiple times and made it accessible for viewing and have seen it at the kitchen studio. We currently have 2*2.8m and manage with that. The newly planned kitchen is almost twice as large and even fits a pantry cupboard perfectly. The ground floor room is planned as an office/guest room/home office and has nothing to do with the basement granny flat. And yes, we will find a solution for the bathroom. The kitchen can also later be replaced by an additional room if the connection lines are planned differently and doubly optional. But this comment immediately triggers an outrage wave here.

Why are you here then? Because of a changed door hinge? I honestly don’t understand you. You’re building a house for 1 million, have been planning for over two years! and you create a house that makes a Flair 125 look like Hollywood? Why? And once again - there is no wave of outrage here, for that we would have to be personally affected. We just don’t understand the purpose and ideas behind your planning, because you could build so much better with a smaller budget.
