Idea collection floor plan single-family house, open construction method

The staggered shed roof can bring very beautiful natural light into the house. However, the room layout should also be suitable to showcase the light. It seems to me that the house is planned around the living area on the ground floor and the first floor has to adapt to it. The proportions do not seem appropriate. Consider how you want to live and think not only about special moments but also about the life rhythm; only then does it matter in what this life can take place.

It seems to me that the house is planned around the living space on the ground floor and the first floor has to adapt to that.

It seems to me rather that both levels have staged the Ministry foyer stairs as the main actor. By the way, anything significantly under 300 sqm total living space unfortunately mainly contributes to the relative perception of smallness of the "rest" of the house.

In the image section, I have shown the comparison: on the left is what is displayed to me as a dadaist rectangle composition as Attachment 1 of post #1, on the right the upper floor from the PDF on the property.

What I only see there in the isometry — unfortunately not in any floor plan (and there are no elevations at all) — are windows. For the discussion, however, I would consider it helpful to also see the windows in the floor plans — as well as more measurements than just the total side lengths.

What is that circle in the garage driveway: a tree, a planter,...?

We cannot look into the mind of the plan author; a bit of info is not inappropriate.

So, due to vacation and many appointments, I had not gotten back in touch for a longer time.

I want to thank you all for the suggestions and tips.

What else has happened besides the vacation so far? We visited architects (getting to know them), general contractors, prefab house providers, a small carpentry business, as well as various other show houses. Attempts to get alternative proposals that suit us mostly failed, meaning they missed our needs. Essentially, I have developed our own designs further. You can see these in the attachment. (Basement floor plan not included, this is of little relevance.) We will soon receive offers for earthworks, shell construction, roof, and electrical work, (meaning building envelope + electrical), the rest will be created in EL. Offers are expected this week. Some of your suggestions have been incorporated, others not.

Nevertheless, I would like to ask for your opinion again:
- How do you assess the floor plan?
- Where would you see possible savings? Note on this: Whether this is necessary remains to be seen. However, the floor plan has turned out larger than originally planned. Obviously possible savings, such as leaving out the basement/garage, are known to us.

@ zaba12: Currently, alongside the floor plans, I also have the costs that two friends paid for their approximately 200 sqm houses + basement in Bavaria 1-3 years ago (itemized). My calculation based on this is currently just under €550k, as mentioned, more detailed offers will follow.

@ ypg: What would you do differently?

@ kbt09: This concerns the middle plot in the west. Behind the noise protection wall is also the "noise source road," access from the east. The 3m was mitigated. According to our own measurements, the plot is also about 0.5m wider than in the drawings.

@ hampshire: Windows in the staggered shed roof are intended to bring light into the bathroom and stairwell.

@ 11ant: Circles represent trees currently standing on the plot. (They were more intended for me.) The "foyer" was mitigated by the change of the stairs I think. Please refer to the 3D views for windows; these have first been inserted "provisionally," the program was not primarily made for house planning. I have added more dimensions in the new version.

If you have any further questions, I will try to answer them.

These door- and windowless plans are making my head spin. But to the point:
- South bedroom with skylights? Good luck in the height of summer.
- Why no "real" windows in the kitchen instead of the loophole? Light has its good sides too.
- Where is actually the entrance? It's really hard without any help...

- Roof windows will probably be replaced by regular facade windows.
- Good point about the kitchen window, we will think about it.
- I have tentatively indicated the doors, see attachment. Hope that helps.

Attempts to get alternative proposals that suit us have largely failed, meaning they missed our needs.

I would clarify whether this is a competence issue of the planner or a communication problem between client and planner.
