Dear all,
a few weeks have now passed and I have secured the plot of land. Now it's time to start with the house and floor plan design:
For this reason, I will fill out the complete profile again here.
Development plan/restrictions
Size of the plot: 500 m²
Slope: no
Site coverage ratio: §34, statement from building office: approx. 0.23
Floor area ratio: §34, statement from building office: approx. 0.4/0.46?
Building window, building line and boundary:
5m to the street, 3m to neighbors, see site plan.
Edge development: None present (or will be demolished) Planning option: Carport and shed at rear neighbor
Number of parking spaces: 1
Number of floors: 2
Roof type: hipped roof (current planning status, other roof types possible)
Style: urban villa
Orientation:
Maximum heights/limits: max. ridge height: 9m (according to city planning management)
Other requirements: "Should blend into the neighborhood"
Client requirements
Style, roof form, building type:
Simple modern, understated, no other preference.
Basement, floors: no basement, 2 floors
Number of people, age:
3 people initially, 5 planned (39, 29, 8, x, y).
Space requirements on ground floor, upper floor
GF: (living/kitchen), guest shower bath, utility room, office.
UF: 4 bedrooms, 1 bathroom (tub + shower).
Office: home office
Guest nights per year: max. 20 person/nights
Open or closed architecture: open
Conservative or modern construction: modern
Open kitchen, cooking island: open, island possible but not a must
Number of dining seats: 6
Fireplace: no
Music/stereo wall: home cinema: 3 speakers at TV, 2 behind/next to viewers, 1 subwoofer relatively free.
Balcony, roof terrace: no
Garage, carport: gladly, but not a must, or later (budget constraints).
Kitchen garden, greenhouse (preferably later)
My partner and I have staggered daily routines. I get up around 6 a.m. and go to bed by midnight at the latest. She sometimes also gets up to take our little one to school but then goes back to bed. Normally, she only goes to sleep around 3-4 a.m. For this reason, a walk-in closet (not locked through the bedroom) would actually be great, but probably difficult due to lack of space.
House design
Who is the planner:
- own creation
What do you particularly like? Why?
Living rooms and children’s rooms with southern exposure.
4 bedrooms accommodated, office accommodated, guest shower bath accommodated. Managed to get reasonably good storage space in the hallway.
Utility room pushed into the north corner (unattractive location, short pipeline runs)
Maximized contiguous garden area.
What do you not like? Why?
The open space is now a long corridor, could seem tunnel-like and not open.
Utility room not on living level. Children’s rooms very cluttered.
Price estimate according to architect/planner:
252,500 excl. painter, carpet, tiles, excl. land purchase & ancillary building costs, excl. exterior works
Personal price limit for the house, incl. equipment:
300,000 excl. land purchase & ancillary building costs,
Preferred heating technology:
Air-to-water heat pump (included in the house price)
If you had to give up, on which details/extensions could you do without:
Photovoltaics, carport/garage can be later, exterior works can be later, separate walk-in closet, rear entrance (street-facing side).
Which can you not do without:
Separate office, guest SHOWER bath.
Why is the design the way it is now?
Own attempt to combine the above wishes.
What makes it particularly good or bad in your eyes?
It is probably not really good. I’m rather looking for inspiration on how it can be improved. It’s not really cozy; the children’s rooms are very cluttered and do not create an open spatial feeling. Are they still cozy?
What is the most important/fundamental question about the floor plan summarized in 130 characters?
How can the floor plan be made more homely? To me it currently feels like a converted commercial hall, or I fear it might turn out so.
Thank you in advance for all constructive answers.
Best regards
Sasha
