Preliminary floor plan for single-family house

There are also built-in refrigerators from Liebherr with automatic ice cube makers (fixed water connection) in the freezer compartment.

For example, with a width of 76.2 cm (American size): ECBN 5066 PremiumPlus BioFresh NoFrost
For example, with a width of 90 cm French door: ECBN 6256 PremiumPlus BioFresh NoFrost
For example, with a width of 120 cm freezer and cooling side by side: SBS 70I4 Premium BioFresh NoFrost

I once installed the SBS 70I4 in tall cabinets, great device but not exactly cheap at around 3,000 euros.

Thank you very much for the feedback. Next week I am on vacation and have 2 visits to kitchen studios planned. So far I only have a rough idea but I need to see it in a 3D view from the planner.

Have you ever seen a staircase like mine.. Unfortunately, I can't quite imagine it with the railing from the ground floor to the upper floor. Would you use a steel stringer staircase or a concrete staircase?

So far I only have a rough idea but I need to see it in a 3D view from the planner.

Then present the plan if you want. I would personally be interested and maybe I have one or two tips.

Regarding the stairs: I like railing-bearing stairs, but I don’t know to what extent that is possible in your planning.

Hello Horst,
I don't even know where to start.
Basically, I like the room layout: the ancillary rooms in the north, lots of glass in the south, the WC close to the guest/office, the driveway coming from the south, but these gardens also have their raison d'être.
However, I am missing the plot for the assessment, not only because this is supposed to be an architect’s design now, but it was only approved based on your own thoughts from December. Your previous design hasn't gone through a process and hasn't improved.
For example: the 6 sqm dressing room might work with self-arranged shelves (ours isn't larger either), but 2 sqm of these 6 sqm are hallway space. So if you stand in the room or hallway, you’re in the way, but the neighbors outside will see the one dressing through the window.
The large bathroom doesn't even have an adequate place for the bathtub. Although it is drawn in, it’s probably only one with minimum dimensions, squeezed into the corner in front of the shower and under the window. As a result, even the shower space is now a compromise.
On the ground floor, you have wonderfully large storage space, but a kitchen that disappears.
The refrigerator isn’t planned and if it’s supposed to be behind the door, it needs about 1.10 m from the 4.30 m kitchen line. One tall cabinet for the oven(s) 60 cm, leaving 1.60 m. 80 cm for the sink, 80 cm as a shelf/space for the kitchen machine, kettle, opened drink bottles, knife block, fruit, etc. Remaining is 1.80/2.00 m cooking island for chopping and cooking… And you write that you like cooking together - for that, the kitchen is pressed too much into the corner and serves too much as a passageway for the dining and living area.
By the way, the open terrace door would be disturbing in this combination. However, the chimney upstairs doesn’t bother at all. Something like that you wall up or use as an opportunity for a built-in cabinet.
In the living area, see whether a normally sized sofa will fit - what is drawn rather looks like a long corner bench to me.
Regarding the stairs/hall: now 15 steps are drawn in, there should be at least 16. One meter width plus 10 cm for terrain remain at RBM 2.30 then 1.15 meters for the hallway.
Regarding the garage: the garage door is quite close to the front door, so I don't believe anyone would feel like squeezing between cars and later the mess at the wall to get into the house. Better to enjoy the nice entrance to the house.
I would like to see the oriented plot and discuss whether the house shouldn't get a better position and then of course consider a redesign with different dimensions.
As I said before: the layout is coherent, but an architect should put in more effort, especially with a house in this category.

Sorry Horst, I did not make it easy for myself and even allowed myself some time to think.

Regards Yvonne

Hi ypg, ok I hope I don’t forget anything Flat corner plot 30mx39m, street to the south and west. The garage is indeed oriented to the south but only because I want to build a carport opposite it and then have a kind of courtyard. There are several drafts with different stairs (landing, straight stairs across from north to south) but I actually like the room arrangement best like this. The design has not yet gone through a process, only the bay windows were removed. I don’t like the dressing room myself yet. I am open to tips there. The next house is at least 50m away to the south... So you would need binoculars to observe us. I’m unsure about the bathtub, it seems a bit small to me. The kitchen shown unfortunately has nothing to do with our kitchen planning yet. This is still to be created or I will still receive it. It will probably be a row over 4.3m and an island of 2.80m. The sofa actually looks like a corner bench. In reality the L-sofa is 3.40/1.60m (1.10m deep). The stairs have 16 risers and 18.1cm rise. I’m unsure whether it should be a concrete staircase. I can also get the 1.15m width... The question is only whether it should be more? The access from the garage to the house is ridiculous. But at least I could bring the trash into the garage without going outside. Whether he puts effort in, I hope so. But I am also pretty resistant to advice. The house is pushed up to 5m to the northern building limit and the garage still has 1.5m to the street to the west. There is nothing to apologize for, it is supposed to be criticized here.
