Planning of a single-family house (basement + ground floor + upper floor) on a 480m² plot

So, first of all, thanks to most of you who really gave important advice and good tips! I was able to take a lot from here and will try to implement it in the next planning. I also liked all the relevant posts.

I don’t understand why some (like my previous poster) feel the need to make stupid jokes or comments. Isn’t your time too precious for that? If you can’t or don’t want to help, just don’t. I simply have no idea about everything, I’m building a house for the first time, and unfortunately I can bring exactly €0.00 in inheritance, so I might not be able to afford a lot – then the house planning simply has to be adjusted accordingly (and that’s exactly what helpful comments here are good for).

By the way, Mr. + Mrs. Rich is unfortunately completely off – we got a property cheaply, but everything we build on it, we will have to work hard for. We will be able to contribute just under 100k in equity, that’s it. And we both worked for that and didn’t get anything from anywhere. We both come from very, very humble backgrounds and are just lucky to have very well-paid jobs, otherwise we couldn’t even afford a house for 500k.

As I already mentioned above, we have an architect, who we are very good friends with, who is planning for us. Before we go to her, I wanted to hear some ideas. Maybe it’s even good that everything here gets criticized and thrown overboard again, then the rough draft I deliver to her might be all the closer to reality ;)

"That’s not possible," "The house is too small/big," "Your money will never be enough." We had to hear this very often as well, especially from people with gifted plots of land and/or generous monetary gifts from their parents. Everything is impossible until someone does it. Find experts, read up intensively. Also look into prefab house construction, many also do architect-designed houses (for example Luxhaus in Bavaria). The more you know about the subject, the better for your house and your budget. I find 150k for a plot in Bavaria a stroke of luck, you can’t find that anymore in our Nürnberg area. That should make a house under 900k possible. That is already a huge amount.

Oh, some royalty apparently got a bit offended... How am I supposed to ever reach my 200 posts if the threads I write in are always being hammered with deletions.

What we did, , was to write lists for ourselves and prioritize, things like: kitchen facing front, stairway not at the front door, etc..

Quite a few things fell victim to the "building reality." But not everything.

Where has my post gone?
My post was deleted!

First of all: don’t get upset about some posts or posters. I am also easily dazzled and have high expectations because there is really an extreme amount of expertise in this forum. But it is and remains the internet, and for every expert there is always at least one troll. You’re actually not supposed to feed them, but I often let my cookies be stolen from my pockets too. ;)

Regarding the rough draft – I don’t know how far you are, but for a second construction project I had considered whether I should go to the architect with a purely textual draft. Our current house is a catalog house from a general contractor which we modified in coordination with their draftsmen. While I still don’t think it’s bad, for round 2, if it ever happens, I want to see what an architect comes up with to put our wishes on paper. After all, that’s what he learned, and I fear that if I enter the conversation with a sketch, certain things will already be firmly set that aren’t really fixed. We would rather draw up as precise a textual requirements description as possible, prioritize it, and see how much the architect can accommodate.

Why on earth were both my post and various other constructive ones deleted, but the nonsensical post by is allowed to remain? :mad::mad::mad: Which drunken chimpanzee was acting as the moderator there?
