I am bringing up the topic again because we have now come across two other variants regarding the stairway.
However, I can't quite decide which one would be the most sensible.
The original plan was a straight staircase in the stairwell. Now, there is also the option of a quarter-turn staircase. Once with a short entry and then immediately turning the corner, and once with the turn in the middle of the staircase. The drawing shows the staircase with a landing because the program had no other option.
Due to the different stair dimensions, the entrance area and also the rooms change slightly. The room allocation remains the same, although upstairs one could consider swapping the bathroom and storage room.
I ask for your honest opinions on the various options and, of course, suggestions for improvement.
Development Plan/Restrictions

Slope: gentle incline towards the street
Site coverage ratio 0.35
Floor space index 1.0
Edge development: centrally located in a cul-de-sac in a new development area (development will start next year), cul-de-sac ends to the north, purely residential area with little traffic, as it is a small town (<2,000 inhabitants)
Number of parking spaces
Number of floors E+1+D as maximum limit
Roof shape gable roof
Style direction
Orientation east-west
Maximum height/limits 7.0m +/-0.3m
Other requirements
Client Requirements
Basement, floors: No basement; 2 floors plus attic (desired knee wall height in the upper floor still unclear)
Number of people, age: family of four – two children (2 and 5 at move-in)
Room requirements on ground floor and upper floor
Office: family use or home office? Family use
Overnight guests per year: rarely
Open kitchen, kitchen island
Number of dining seats: 4
Fireplace: yes (centrally in the living room with internal chimney or on the exterior wall?)
Music/stereo wall
Balcony, roof terrace: possibly garage roof as terrace; also terrace on the south side attached to the living room
Garage, carport:
Utility garden, greenhouse: utility garden
Photovoltaic, cistern for the garden (possibly also for toilet use => cost factor, still unclear)
House Design
Who designed it:
-Do-it-Yourself: yes
What do you like particularly? Why? Large living room facing south
What do you not like? Why?
Price estimate according to architect/planner: 400,000 euros turnkey as KfW 55 standard prefab house with air-water heat pump (without garage; including floor slab)
Personal price limit for the house including equipment: 500,000 euros including ancillary building costs
Preferred heating technology: heat pump with ring trench collector
If you have to forego, which details/expansions
-can you forego: large garage
-can you not forego:
Why is the design the way it is now? e.g.
Based on various prefabricated houses, we have designed our own floor plan. The study on the ground floor should be large enough to possibly also be used as a bedroom. The living room should face south; the children's rooms should be the same size. We would put the washing machine in the storage room.
What is the most important/fundamental question about the floor plan summarized in 130 characters?
General room layout and location? Which knee wall height (1m; 1.2m; 1.6m) would be optimal regarding space gain and cost savings as well as light incidence in the upper floor
Hello,
I hope the details on the drawings are readable and understandable.
According to the development plan, only a knee wall height of 50 cm is provided, but according to telephone information, deviations are approved provided the maximum ridge height is not exceeded.
In the drawing, I do not get any furniture displayed.
The staircase should run straight in the hallway on the west side so that you arrive in front of the two doors/children's room and master bedroom upstairs.
Floor-to-ceiling windows are planned in the living room facing south, all other windows are "normal."
The kitchen is planned in the southeast corner of the house, hence the passage to the pantry. Originally, no pantry was planned, but a large utility room. On the advice of the house seller/consultant, a wall was built so that you do not walk directly from the kitchen into the utility room.
A fireplace either in the living room next to the living room door or on the west wall.
Unfortunately, the furniture was not transferred during export:
Staircase straight in the hallway on the right (viewed from the house entrance so that upstairs you arrive at the doors to the children's room/parents' bedroom)
The current floor plan is based on an exterior dimension of 10.50m by 11m.
If there are any uncertainties, please ask; otherwise, feel free to ask questions and give criticism, I am not here to be praised (of course I appreciate it, but that is not the purpose of this exercise)
