Hello dear forum,

I would like to use your collective intelligence. We have the problem that the neighbor will be building on the west side of the property, so we have to be a bit more creative. Otherwise, we would have just placed the house as a rectangle farther back on the lot. The next challenge is that it is a north-facing lot.

Regarding the most important questions

Development plan/restrictions
Lot size: 800 sqm
Slope: flat
Floor area ratio: 0.7
Floor space index: development plan allows 2 full floors
Building window, building line and boundary: marked in light blue, 3m distance from the neighbor
Edge development: allowed up to 9m
Number of parking spaces: 2 (location still unclear, either beside or behind the house)
Number of floors: 2
Roof type: flat roof
Architectural style: modern
Orientation: see site plan
Maximum heights/limits: 2 full floors, neighbor has a pitched roof and attic converted (very high)
Further requirements

Requirements of the builders
Architectural style, roof type, building type: modern
Basement, floors: no, 2 floors
Number of people, age: 2, 30-40
Room requirements on ground floor and upper floor: living, dining, kitchen, utility, office, guest WC, child 1, child 2, sleeping, dressing room, parents’ bathroom, children’s bathroom (approx. 160 sqm living area)
Office: family use or home office?: home
Number of overnight guests per year: 5
Open or closed architecture: unknown
Conservative or modern construction: modern
Open kitchen, kitchen island: kitchen is schematically included, should be a compromise
Number of dining seats: 4-6
Fireplace: yes
Music/stereo wall: no
Balcony, roof terrace: no
Garage, carport: not planned yet, either on the west side or behind the house
Utility garden, greenhouse: no
Further wishes/special features/daily routine, also reasons why this or that should or should not be

House design
Who designed it:
For now, ourselves, our planners are very busy and only deliver standard designs
What do you particularly like? Why?
What do you dislike? Why? Bedroom still too large
Price estimate according to architect/planner: too expensive :)
Personal price limit for the house, including equipment:
Preferred heating technology: air heat pump, we also had a geothermal system offered, but it should not make a big difference anymore (efficiency), so the additional cost (approx. 15k without subsidies) is not worth it?!

If you have to do without, which details/extensions
Functionally, it should be like this. The fireplace could be discarded if necessary. We have sliding/lifting elements in our current draft... but since the window fronts have become smaller now, we took them out for now. (We have 3 sliding/lifting elements in the calculation). The slanted wall is optional... just an idea.

Why has the design turned out as it is now? eg
Standard design from the planner? Neighbor is building on the west side, starting from a simple rectangle. All living spaces facing front, service rooms in the back, entrance on the side.

What is the most important/basic question about the floor plan summarized in 130 characters?
I would like to have general feedback so we don’t build nonsense. So far we have completed a condominium, but no house – where everything is really flexible and there are actually too many possibilities. The bedroom currently feels too large. But we also want to have a washing machine on the upper floor (so that clothes don’t always have to be carried through the house). Perhaps laundry can be installed there. The house at the front of the plot should protect us from the neighbor’s views, he also has many windows on his east side (our west side).

Thank you very much!

Why don’t you move the house further north?
Why is the car behind the house
Parking spaces arranged one behind the other are impractical. What is in the east?

Moving the house further north by a bit to create a second parking space next to / in front of the house would certainly not be a problem, or we also still have space to the east, right. According to the development plan, we also need to provide 2 parking spaces within the building plot.

We didn’t want to go much further north so that we are not visible from the west ... terrace area, rooms. To the west, there is practically a high-rise building. It has large windows on its east and north sides.

Thanks for the feedback.

Are you building against the neighbor or for yourselves? Neighbor here, neighbor there. Neighbors have the same rights as you do. If you don’t like neighbors, then it’s the wrong plot. ? At least he is staying within his building boundary. In this respect, I find it nonsense to do without windows on the west side. The block, sorry, has nothing to do with a house either. In terms of orientation, you are shutting yourself off against a neighbor, against your garden, but opening up to the street. Untangle the knot in your head and find a proper architect to create a design. Then you can go to your general contractor with it.

I consider this, as implemented, an overinterpretation.

A high-rise full of people who count your pudding spoons for a maximum of three days and then never again? No reasonable person would put their house in the shade because of them!
For the idea of being taken seriously and permanently interesting to strangers, there are special doctors :-)

Thank you very much for the feedback with the doctor.

We will try again to find a solution with an architect. We had also already considered selling the plot. The house on the east side was only built this year.
The ideal position at the back of the construction site with a south/west terrace is not an option for us personally due to visibility.

Many thanks!
