Further wishes/special features/daily routine, also reasons why this or that should or shouldn’t be
House Design
Who planned it: general contractor
What do you especially like? Why? Kitchen living room, kitchen semi-open in the corner yet still open
What do you not like? Why? Staircase insecure, upper floor!?
Price estimate according to architect/planner: 370,000
Personal price limit for the house, including equipment: 400,000 (house + outdoor area) + furniture extra
Preferred heating technology: underfloor heating is already our wish and is standard everywhere
If you have to give up, which details/extensions
- We have already given up on a basement
- House only as large as necessary
- Guest room could be dispensed with if necessary
Why did the design turn out the way it is now?
At first, we had no idea how the house should look, but after several discussions with construction companies, we now have a rough idea of how it should be.
We are unsure if a straight staircase is right for us or if better another shape; as it is now, the staircase somehow stands as the centerpiece in the house.
Ground floor layout kitchen living room, office we like very much.
Upper floor is not yet optimal, a walk-in closet wouldn’t be bad, light in the hallway/stairs is important
Roof orientation: currently east/west so that all children’s rooms are on the south side; we are unsure if this is really the better solution.
The children are our priority.
We have looked through many catalogs; so far, we like the ground floor quite well, only the staircase and upper floor are not quite clear yet.
The first design is from a general contractor, but I drew it myself, so it is not to scale, only as an orientation for room layout.
Second design drawn by a general contractor.
What is the most important/fundamental question about the floor plan summarized in 130 characters? Ideas, tips, what is totally wrong that we as laymen do not see, [U]what can be done better?[/U]
