Log cabin with a clipped gable roof by the forest - improve planning?

Edit: big is not the same as special. Anyone planning a 6-meter long kitchen with an island obstacle in the middle has to cover this distance: not just once a day, but several times. Everyone. This applies to every room. This can also make you tired - or is no work being done?

Well, at least they let it get cleaned.
That size is not necessarily beautiful or even cozy either doesn’t seem to get through. 140 m2 of living space is already ridiculous to me - like a gymnasium.
Is it just a lack of imagination or can anyone actually want something like that?

The 140sqm living space can be great - it has a loft character. But then please also the appropriate ambiance and a proper zoning. Furthermore, 6m room depth is too little, that doesn't fit. When I read and look at your plans, you have neither the right house nor a proper spatial planning for it. And I'm out again - I'm better off with other topics than a floor plan design.

Hello everyone,

Thank you for your opinions. Since many postings currently have little factual basis, from my point of view a discussion makes little sense. I could only try to elaborate further, to explain – but that probably won’t help, I don’t need to convince you that the house will be great, most of you have already built your own dream house.

I understand that for most the change comes too abruptly, is not comprehensible. You do not know the designs that led to the first building permit – the fully glazed front that we initially planned, you only know the not particularly successful design that an architect created after many compromises. But I think it is understandable that we are now making a hard cut and asking ourselves whether all these compromises really make sense if in the end not even a practical house comes out of it, and at some point I am more in favor of starting planning all over again so that it doesn’t become just “shuffling things around.” Special thanks at this point to , who with her many designs made the real problem clearer for us.

Our current design is closest to our plans. Whether it will stay that way in the coming years, we will see, in case of doubt we have to see whether we can change the use or individual rooms. But much is exactly as it should be – for example the kitchen with the 4m (not 6m) long island where you can finally work properly. Whether the interior will look the way we want it, will become clear in the next few days when an architect has revised our designs and can render the first images.

Thank you for your calm, factual notes and the great tips. On Friday we are going to the model home exhibition in Hanover, among other things to compare stairs, riser heights, and various spatial impressions of our idea with reality. Our local model home exhibition is obviously no standard.

Of course, thanks also to everyone else for the help so that we could avoid the biggest mistake – building a house that definitely doesn't suit us. Whether it will be the new design, we will find out.

Take your time on Friday. If you have time, go to every house

Do you want a log cabin now or rather half-timbered and glass?
