Ideas for floor plans wanted

Provide me with the building and planning law conditions and I will create a preliminary design/design planning with the respective cost calculation. Your basis is your space program, your usage contexts, your specific property situation, and your budget; my basis is the fee structure for architects and engineers (HOAI) and the conviction that architecture originally arises in a process.

Floor plans or building designs are therefore not taken out of a drawer, but developed individually for each client. Except with prefabricated house providers or the general contractors (Gu´s/GÜ´s) who like to sell their standard houses profitably by the dozen. But that’s also how it looks in new development areas: stereotypical. I would not want to pay a respectable six-figure amount for that.

Although this is almost like advertising, I have to agree with Wpic in this case - floor plans fit on the property and usage ideas in very, very rare cases. We visited Stand&Land, VBrock, and Elma - today on the train, out of boredom, I looked at the floor plans we received from the three again... downright terrible. At the time we found it okay - the salespeople more or less unthinkingly moved walls around. In the Design Forge VBrock, we then had a 24 sqm bedroom with 2.5 wardrobe lengths, at Elma a bedroom with wardrobes under the slope, and at Stadt&Land a house that fragmented the plot with a parents' bathroom where you could enter the bedroom by passing the front door (to name just one highlight each). What else did we do? Drew a lot, brainstormed ideas. Also went to two architects. I once posted floor plans from one architect (Heinze) on the green forum - they were torn apart. The other architect specialized in timber frame construction and said she rarely had single-family houses as projects. To make matters worse, acquaintances planned with the first architect up to performance phase 4 (?) only to find out that the bank did not want to finance the architect’s ideas. Among colleagues and acquaintances, many built themselves, planned themselves, or built with a general contractor or general overseer. Lots of failures, bad luck, and mishaps involved. By the way, we ultimately designed our floor plan ourselves and now have a practical, inconspicuous gable roof house. It was implemented by a local general contractor - also not without small disasters. All in all, however, we are quite satisfied. I am curious what the house would have ended up looking like and costing if we had chosen the architect. But well - they say you always build three times, or how was that? ;)

But well - you always build 3 times, or how was that? ;)

Often: the 1st house, to impress others, the 2nd house, to forget the mistakes of the first house, and the 3rd time a house that actually meets the needs :D Rhineland greetings

I know it more like this: the first one for the enemy, the second one for the friend and the third one for oneself.

Alright... The matter is settled, thanks anyway.

Good morning

Then I hope, and I mean that sincerely in a positive way, that the posts here were helpful.
