Oh dear... I have been having exactly these thoughts for almost a year now...
I have already studied dozens of floor plans. Many of them with rather small rooms.
I always find that I’m actually doing well in terms of size.
And after every design, I think: Now this fits perfectly...
But here they make it clear to me that either a room is way too small or way too large.
I just can’t seem to get a positive reaction...
Please step forward if you can do better... Otherwise I might still despair...
Our wish list:
- no basement (because of water)
- Max. house width 10 meters (plot width 17.5 meters)
- utility room, house technology
- spacious hallway with space for a wardrobe and stairs to the attic or 2nd floor
- bedroom (approx. 16 sqm)
- guest room (approx. 16 sqm) (with space for a baby bed or child’s bed)
- separate kitchen with a small dining area for 2-4 people and
French door/sliding door to the dining area (nice would be a window in the front facing the driveway)
- large dining area (up to 8-10 people)
- PC space/surfing etc. in the living area
- piano/keyboard in the living area
- stove in the living-dining area
- freely placeable couch area in the room
- bathroom with toilet, shower, and bathtub (bidet is not necessary, shower can possibly also be in the guest toilet)
- guest toilet
- office for self-employment (possibly with client visits)
- storage options (since no basement, these could possibly be located in the attic)
- space for ironing machine/ironing board
All preferably single-story, but we are not opposed to two stories: We are 47 and 50 years old.
I’m afraid that’s quite a lot to ask... but maybe someone is interested... and has ideas for us, so that finally a "shoe" will emerge.
Many thanks and best regards, Steffi.
Our two previous designs (bungalow and so-called townhouse)
fit into the plot as follows:
