Hello dear community,
we are still in the rough planning phase of our house. I have now also taken the initiative to fire up the PC and create a first own draft.
Important:
We do not have a plot of land yet. This is only a draft to estimate roughly how much space will be needed.
GENERAL
- The house is planned without a basement. Storage space is intended in the garage (approx. 20 m²)
- Heating preferably as a heat pump since no basement (pellets) and I don’t want to be dependent on oligarchs (gas/oil). With heat pump, no chimney.
- Family life should focus on the living-dining area. Therefore, this area is planned somewhat generously
- Windows will of course be added later, but are not included in this first draft :)
- According to the plan, there are approx. 93.5 m² of floor area and 146 m² of living space
- We would like to plan with no or minimal roof slopes (e.g., with a shed roof)
- The furniture already placed corresponds (if available) in size to what we currently have. I wanted to get a feel for the space requirements here.
- The draft was created with SweetHome 3D; if anyone wants to mess around with it or have the draft for themselves, I can gladly provide the file.
DOWNSTAIRS
- Open living and dining area with a view from the couch to the kitchen (so that my wife can cook and I can watch TV (joking ^^))
- Kitchen island (as requested by my wife) -> probably needs to be wider..?
- Separate entrance area (to have a buffer for cold/warm air)
- The toilet is unfortunately somewhat awkwardly built (in terms of walls) because otherwise I don’t get a door into the guest room... But I don’t really know how else to solve it
- Extra wall between the technology room and utility room? In my opinion, this makes sense to have a better separation and to be able to place more shelves :)
- Possibly makes sense to move the stairs forward by 20 cm..?
UPSTAIRS
- 2 bathrooms (master bathroom/kids’ bathroom)
- Dressing room for my wife
- Minimalistic hallway (in my opinion a waste of space)
- No door needed between master bedroom and dressing room
So now you may tear my draft apart and accuse me of all the things I haven’t thought of :D . But I am also very grateful for constructive criticism. I am an amateur and have certainly not considered some points (distances, sizes, ...)
Thanks a lot in advance!
