Optimizing the floor plan of a 150 m² house - Tips

: Yes, I can imagine that. At least I am aware that this is not the ultimate bargain. It depends somewhat on the expectations, right? Of course, anyone who thinks they will get a finished house for the land price + house offer price will be disappointed. But I actually hope that I have thoroughly covered all areas where there will be additional charges. But you can't really be sure with any provider - there are simply too many variables (on both sides).

: I think it really depends heavily on the respective partner/licensee. Town & Country ultimately only specifies the basic framework - what the respective builder makes of it is another matter? Our licensee certainly has a very good reputation here, and our gut feeling is very good. I prefer that over a builder unknown to me who is 10,000 euros cheaper.

Can someone tell me something about the heating in the kitchen? Is a separate one absolutely necessary or can the dining room heating also provide heat?

Opinions on the new bathroom layout are also welcome

You can also heat with a fireplace in the middle of the house... whether that makes sense is another question. Town & Country is a good provider, who will certainly carry out a heating load calculation room by room; that will answer your question. Does that mean you are heating with gas? So far the ST are included in the price and the technical concept coordinated? To my knowledge, Town & Country already sets the module prices for extensions, or am I mistaken?

That explains a lot. So that's why it's so "affordable". I assumed that when building "by yourself" today, one aims for kfw55, underfloor heating, and controlled residential ventilation with heat recovery.

What type of heating is planned?

With the house view, I put my needs ahead of the neighbors' aesthetics

But I don’t need an office just because I have to store 10 file folders, right?

I have expanded the shower entrance.

Phew, am I now planning a house so that I can sell it well? No, sorry... our room planning isn’t that individual after all, I think. I’m building for myself and not for other people.

Yes, I was aware that the shortcomings of the house planning are defended to the utmost But a house should also withstand appreciation and function – I don’t see it as a solution to equate a bad floor plan, poor planning or bad appearance with an "individual design just for us."

Emergency shower in the utility room is absolutely out of the question for me.

Strike “Emergency” – I hate pedantry

Can someone still tell me something about the heating in the kitchen? Do you absolutely need a separate one or can the dining room heating also heat it?

Are you planning without underfloor heating?
I would definitely plan with a radiator in the kitchen if you’re building without underfloor heating – only here in the kitchen is it really important because that’s where the dish towels are dried

As far as I know, Town & Country already specifies the module prices for expansions, or am I mistaken?

Exactly, standard is gas with a 400l solar storage tank. OK, then I will just wait and see.
What do you understand by module prices? For the shower, for example, I was quoted a price of a little over €1000 - all in.

That explains a lot. So why it is so "cheap". I assumed that if you build "yourself" today, you aim for kfw55, underfloor heating and controlled residential ventilation with heat recovery.

What type of heating is planned?

Gas boiler with 400l solar storage tank - standard at Town & Country. No kfw55, no underfloor heating, no controlled residential ventilation...

Strike out “emergency” – I hate nitpicking

Are you planning without underfloor heating?
I would definitely plan with a radiator in the kitchen if building without underfloor heating – only here in the kitchen is it really important because that’s where the dish towels dry

Well, I also had my thoughts about the floor plan. So I present my reasons. Call it “defending to the utmost” – fine. I defend my work.
Whether it works or not, I had asked here about that, thanked for feedback and, if necessary, explained how I came up with such absurd ideas.
Sorry, but “poor floor plan, bad planning and poor aesthetics” – for God’s sake, what a terrible building are we trying to erect here? Sorry...

For me, it would also be an emergency shower. You wouldn’t want to shower in the utility room every day, I think. Unless there is another way! And I think the ground floor bathroom is quite okay in itself.

I keep the heating in the kitchen in mind. No, no underfloor heating.

Thank you all!
