We are still at the beginning of the planning phase with the essential question: Where do we place the house to have the best possible natural light for the rooms, not disturb any neighbors, and achieve a harmonious overall appearance? Perhaps someone would also like to contribute ideas for a possible floor plan. My ideas are currently limited to almost square floor plans... (if anyone wants to see?) Attached is a picture to clarify how the property fits into the neighboring buildings. To the east is a 2-story shed roof house with living rooms facing south and a western entrance; to the west is a 2-story gable roof house with living rooms facing north. Currently, there is a holiday bungalow on the property, which, however, must be demolished before construction begins.
Development plan/restrictions
Size of the property: 1200sqm (20m south/road side * 60m north/garden side)
Slope: No
Floor area ratio: 125 sqm may be built; 6m to the street, 3m to neighbors must be observed; building may extend up to 40m to the rear.
Plot ratio: 2 full floors, unfinished attic
Building window, building line, and boundary:
Edge development:
Number of parking spaces: 2, probably carport
Number of floors: 2
Roof type: hip roof or gable roof (up to 35°)
Style: classic to modern
Orientation: north-south
Maximum heights/limits:
Further specifications:
Client requirements
Style, roof type, building type:
Basement, floors: residential basement, 2 full floors
Number of persons, age: 5 (44, 39, 9, 6, 2)
Room requirements on ground and upper floors: GF with kitchen, living-dining area, guest/workroom, guest WC; UF: 3 children’s rooms, 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom
Office: family use or home office? Both and guest use
Overnight guests per year: 4

Music/stereo wall: no
Balcony, roof terrace: no
Garage, carport: rather carport
Utility garden, greenhouse: no
Further wishes/special features/daily routine, also reasons why this or that should or should not be: The guest room on the ground floor and the bedroom on the upper floor should be roughly the same size, so that later, when the children are older, the parents could move downstairs.
House design
Who is responsible for the planning: we are still in the idea-finding phase
-Planner from a construction company
-Architect
-Do-it-yourself
What do you particularly like? Why?
What do you not like? Why?
Price estimate according to architect/planner:
Personal price limit for the house, including equipment:
Preferred heating technology:
If you have to do without, which details/extensions
-you can do without: fireplace
-you cannot do without: 4 bedrooms on the upper floor
Why did the design turn out the way it is now? e.g.: we are not that far yet
Standard design from the planner?
Corresponding/which wishes were implemented by the architect?
A mix of many examples from various magazines...
What makes it particularly good or bad in your eyes?
What is the most important/fundamental question about the floor plan summarized in 130 characters?
How and where do we orient a single-family house for optimal natural light without disadvantaging neighbors? What floor plans are possible?
