House planning

Good morning,
so the house was rotated because we originally planned it on a different plot, which is no longer current due to its slope, and now we have the living room and the dining room (bay window) and terrace on the south side.

A few answers regarding the upper floor, as there were questions here.
6.33 sqm bathroom/WC, this is a children's bathroom, no bathtub is intended here.
The master bathroom is attached downstairs to the bedroom. Quite large already, but we like the spaciousness.

Storage room: 1.80x3.50
This room serves as a storage room, among other things for winter clothes/vacuum cleaner etc. We plan this simply for the reason that we do not have a basement and might be glad someday that we considered this.

Bay window
We actually only liked the bay windows for their appearance. (Living room)

The combination of sleeping, dressing, and parents' bathroom, which then feels completely trapped, I find more than unfavorable. Especially because there is this useless hallway in between.

What kind of roof will be put there? Is the upper floor a full story or are there sloping ceilings?

Kitchen/dining room planning should also be redone. Above all, plan in a table and see if it is even possible to get properly from the kitchen area to the terrace (eating outside in the summer evenings, barbecuing, etc.). And you put the main workspace in the kitchen into a small corner, no space between the cooktop and the sink.

I think a lot of revising still needs to be done.

Technology could also be planned for the basement, as long as that is still considered. Possibly the house itself a bit smaller for that. The exterior basement stairs are somehow also placed rather unfavorably.

Simply mirroring a house and lightly adapting it works well in very few plot constellations.

It would also be important to have a site plan with approximate dimensions of the plot or is the frame around the ground floor supposed to indicate the plot?

I also think you should furnish the house at some point. The master bedroom seems somewhat cluttered and the adjoining corridor does not help. You should reconsider having a master bathroom that is only accessible through the bedroom. As mentioned before, the bay windows may look nice, but at first glance they are useless and a cost factor that can be the first to be cut when there is a budget limit. :) I like the kitchen, but as others have mentioned, I am not sure if the size is sufficient, there is not much storage space. I think it is good that you plan a shower bathroom on the ground floor and plenty of windows in the living area. By the way, I believe the door to the living room next to the stairs will be neglected and most will usually use the other way through the kitchen area (speaking from similar experience);).

Hello,

if I were you, I would seriously consider whether you really want to separate the "kitchen / dining" area from the living area by the wall with double-wing sliding door.

Especially the 45° wall looks like a makeshift solution on this plan and probably makes the dining area towards the bay window appear too narrow (at least visually).

Please don't get me wrong - I am basically a big fan of "walls standing at an angle" at 45°, but this solution doesn't really convince me.

We have designed our entire living / dining and kitchen area open (also in L-shape) and would not want it any other way.

It is simply nice when you can communicate across the rooms and the visual spaciousness also looks very generous.

With a good extractor or recirculating hood and possibly a controlled residential ventilation system, cooking odors should also not be a problem.

Without this partition wall, in my opinion, you would also get significantly more from your planned fireplace or tiled stove in the living room.

Regarding the garage: I also find the door width of 5.01 m (without considering the door frame) a bit tight. Therefore, I would either move the technical room to the basement or to the back end of the garage.

Even if it would still fit with the current cars - new cars rarely get smaller - so I wouldn't "build in" a space problem in the wrong place.

Regards,

Dirk

Hello everyone,
thank you for your contributions. It’s fun to read them and imagine your ideas.

Kitchen topic
Although we have less storage space on one side, there is still a kitchen island of 100x200cm in the kitchen opposite and in the pantry which is separated by a wall and sliding door. This extends the kitchen counter by 150cm. This additional work surface is used to place the bread slicer, Thermomix, coffee machine, and kitchen appliances. As soon as you leave the kitchen, you can close this sliding door and the devices are "invisible".
I don’t like it when the kitchen is cluttered with stuff. I can imagine that one or two kitchen appliances might stand on the cooking island or something like that, but not more. :-)
The kitchen island mainly serves as a workspace. What I will change is to add a pull-out cabinet about 30cm between the sink and the stove. That way you have even more workspace here.

Living/Dining
The reason why we inserted a wall with this 45-degree angle between the living and dining areas is that I currently live in an open apartment with a kitchen and dining room adjoining the living room and it just bothers me when people are working in the kitchen and you have to turn up the TV volume.

The dining area in the bay window has a size of 4.32x2.50m before the angled wall starts.
We have already tested in a show house that this space is enough for our 200x100cm table, benches, and chairs. We would now permanently glaze the two window units on one wall so that you can go out on the left and right. In Poing near Munich, there is a show house park and we copied this idea from the company Bien & Zenker Concept Munich. We liked it.

The protrusion in the living room was actually planned by us only for aesthetic reasons. We know that this does not bring anything spatially, just like the passage to the living room by the stairs. The sliding doors running in the wall are only meant to give us the option to keep everything open and when you want some peace, you close them.
Of course, it may happen that later everything is closed off, but we would like to keep this option open so that later we don’t think, too bad we didn’t do that.
Besides the practical aspects a room must have, we like the optical and spacious impression, which is why the rooms, like the bedroom, are very large. When we visited friends who built in the last two years, we often noticed that the bedrooms were too small. Bed, 60cm in front of the bed, then wall or wardrobe. Currently, we spend a lot of time in the bedroom, whether staying in bed at the weekends just chatting or talking in the bedroom in the evening.

Garage:
We have already clarified with the construction company. This will now have a width of 6.40m for both vehicles. The technical room goes to the basement or to the back to the equipment room.

Can you please furnish it as you imagine?
