Now I get it with the roller shutter box – it hasn’t been installed yet. So the top edge of the current opening will move down again, right?
Your estimated 40 sqm spread over 4 rooms averages only 10 sqm per room. And of course, you have to consider that the square meters somehow need to be accessed – given the premise that the children's rooms should face south and the bathroom north, and everything must be grouped around the centrally planned staircase, it unfortunately just becomes difficult. Because 10 sqm would still be the case if a room is only 1.5 m wide but 6.6 m long – then it’s just lousy to furnish. Especially if there is light from only one side and some wall positions are fixed due to the windows.
Regarding the bathtub: if the structural engineering doesn’t allow it, could it go in the ground floor bathroom?
Regarding the structural engineering in general: the expandability of the attic is already secure, right?
Regarding room layout: could a storage room possibly be designed as a trapped room?
I’m thinking of something like this (not to scale!):
BUT: how this fits dimension-wise and, above all, can be sensibly drained is questionable
Yes, exactly, the top edge of the opening will move down.
The 40 sqm is an estimate after deducting the walls. The stairwell is almost 4 sqm and the corridor proposed here is maybe 6 sqm. Then there are about 10 sqm left for the drywall partitions, honestly I can’t estimate how much that makes. A bathtub in the ground floor bathroom is no longer possible, but it doesn’t have to be there at all costs. Although it would be nice.
Structural engineering for the expansion of the upper floor is available.
If necessary, a separated storage room would certainly be possible. But it would be unfortunate. With your floor plan suggestion, I would only swap the bathroom and the storage room, as then both bathrooms would be above each other.
Let’s see what Saturday brings.
It is sufficiently sized for the entire house and with 14 kW (Buderus GB 172/14) actually oversized just for the ground floor. I had talked with a friend back then who said that’s not a problem, it can initially be set so that it doesn’t switch on and off constantly.What kind of heating will be installed and will it be designed to handle an expansion upstairs? As long as the upstairs is not expanded, it will then be oversized.
According to the planning and building permit, what exactly is the thermal insulation now? Will the roof be insulated immediately or only the ceiling between ground floor and upper floor?
Only the ceiling between floors is insulated.
