We currently have about 88m² spread over three rooms (one of them an open-plan kitchen/living room). Plus utility room and garden shed. However, we are currently storing furniture elsewhere that does not fit here. What we do have: living room furniture complete, guest room complete, office complete, bedroom complete, children's room complete, shelves for utility room/pantry. What we still need are bathroom furniture (they can be quite pricey) and depending on how much the dressing room is "blessed" with sloping ceilings, the furniture for it. The latter, however, is not something that has to be perfect immediately. I could also imagine adapting the existing Pax system for it myself, that wouldn’t be the first time.

I just say Hello again :D We have turned and twisted your objections and at the risk of someone crowing now "that's something completely different again, make up your mind" - friends, it's all a process... We simply couldn't come to terms with approaching/driving towards a sad gable-less eaves side and have now come to the conclusion - why not turn the house? The gable side seems much prettier and nicely symmetrical to us, the less attractive eaves side can face the carport and we save ourselves an expensive gable - you get what you wanted :D For that, the gable now faces west. Why not build a house on a long narrow plot that picks up that shape as well.

The children's rooms have gained in size and there is one less room upstairs. We didn't want to part with the guest room, but it is now a bit smaller. There is even a window in the upstairs hallway now, woohoo! What still gives us a bit of a headache is the cramped, narrow bathroom upstairs. Otherwise, we are ready to face the next storm of criticism :D Many thanks to everyone who bravely endures this with us. It feels awkward to have to throw everything over again and again, but on the other hand we learn more with every attempt and hopefully get closer to our dream house :)

Oh, the thing with the gables is just a mirror neuron box, so that the house has a "face" on the garden side and the side you drive up to. Ah, now yes ;-) Were awkwardnesses created while tracing, was an actually functioning design modified at all, or was it "winged"?

That's probably the psychology behind it, yes. Nothing here is traced, this is our preliminary draft made up on the spot, which the draftswoman will then put into reason (window sizes and positions etc. are all just sketched for now). By the way, north is to the left on the plan, so the open space is facing southwest/east. The tool spits out 156m² for the area, but I don’t trust that much, the draftswoman can calculate that reliably. So the fact that windows should preferably be a multiple of 12.5cm etc. is not considered here!

The odd corner in the bathroom is a result of the staircase. Swap the utility room and the WC on the ground floor, then the staircase moves further to the middle. I don’t like dividing the bay window on the upper floor at all. My suggestion without the bay window has better-utilized space. See [Beitrag# 20]

I think this is an effect of the popular approach to plan the upper floors after the ground floor...
