L-shaped floor plan - What is your opinion?

Your suggestions and questions are great! I like how you think and how you approach the matter. I think similarly. Drone images, moving the house on the property back and forth, marking sunlight, from when shadows appear, etc.

However, I don't think I will provide these details.

Why?

Here in the forum, some people really go all out! Great ideas, critical view, good advice, lateral thinkers. And others... are just different. It's like in real life. I seem to trigger the second type of person with my floor plan.

It's like I described in the EP. We need to go to the right companies with competent architects. Due to the current situation, appointments keep getting postponed again and again.

Thank you for your advice!

You can already tell the direction just from the first replies... in terms of tone, you're building the first walls before any advice has even been given, shame.

I already gave you that insight on page 3, but, "as in real life," it's a two-sided matter.

Nonsense, you are not triggering anyone here with your floor plan. I have seen completely different floor plans here and rightly so discussions.

What I have seen so far is that the objections here have been very reasonable and helpful.

1. Costs. You don't have to open your bank account here. It was only pointed out that your floor plan cannot be cheap. The cost drivers were pointed out several times: statics, walls not aligned, hipped roof, flat roof.

2. Basics. The basics must be clearly presented. It makes no sense to move details like the WC in the attic if it turns out afterward that the house cannot even be placed on the plot like that. Then the whole planning for the WC is for the trash! The many volunteers here are not interested in that and rightly opt out!

3. Thermal insulation. Your house with the many corners, edges, and ceilings contradicts the current energy-saving construction methods. These are all thermal bridges that must be sealed and insulated at great expense. You must be aware of this.

4. You have to see a house as a whole. That simply includes ALL floor plans, elevations, and sections. If something shifts on the ground floor, possibly the entire facade or something else shifts. But you also cannot just say, well then I’ll just make the ground floor wider; then you have to pay attention to the floor area ratio and other requirements.

What is your concrete proposal for the hallway?

No arms, no cookies

However, I do not think that I will provide these details.

Well, then good luck!

I do not think, however, that I will provide these details.

You don’t need to say that in the future, because you have already not provided them: I ask whether you have dealt with the translation of the floor plans into elevations, and you reply by referring to post #1, in which no elevations are visible. You show a ground floor plan and in another scale a first floor plan with the staircase as the only reference point, without ever indicating the floor outlines "mutually." One has to recalculate measurement chains to even notice the mismatch - hence my question how aware you are of this yourself.

Statics, walls not aligned, hip roof, flat roof [...] These are all thermal bridges that must be sealed and insulated at great expense.

That is exactly the difficulty, that today it is a mutually escalating complex problem: before the energy saving ordinance, cantilevers were ignored, they were "only" a static problem. Today an insulation isolator must be inserted, which in turn doubles the static problem again. On paper these are peanuts, but in construction you have to haul sacks of money for it.

Some people here in the forum really seem to be after it! Great ideas, a critical eye, good hints, lateral thinkers. And others... are just simply different. It’s like in real life. I seem to rather trigger the second type of person with my floor plan.

Are you sure that you appreciate the critics? – I would rather put it this way: with floor plans you cannot trigger anyone enough to compensate for your sulky handling of criticism.

We need the right companies with competent architects.

It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a competent architect to be hired by a general contractor or house builder. You only have that luck in some cases when female architects return after family years.

Hello, Maybe someone can help me... If I have to keep a three-meter distance between the property boundary and the house: How / where are these three meters measured? The property boundary is clear. But at the house... then to the house wall? What does it look like concretely if you design an entrance (small platform staircase). Does the first step of the staircase count as the 3m mark to the boundary or are the steps excluded from the distance measurement? Thanks
