Single-family house ~180m² in the city with a view of a nature reserve

But the house already costs more than 400k and the land is also worth something. How is it supposed to be transferred in 2029 then? I’m not familiar with usufruct and how it can be registered. Maybe this could reduce the value of the house?

It’s about covering the maximum amount of the value already with the tax-free allowance. The rest above that must, of course, still be taxed. I assumed that the "house value" can be set relatively low compared to the land value. (Not the full construction costs from x years ago). EDIT: It may also be possible that only a part can be transferred in 10 years and the next part in 20 years. (Always within the framework of the tax-free allowance.)

I still find the floor plan a bit unbalanced. Most points have already been mentioned by . I still notice the staircase ... here once again from the introduction thread the staircase floor plan image:

You currently have maybe 290 cm planned there .... what ceiling height are you envisioning?

I wouldn’t move the bed; you don’t have enough space to put a nightstand on the right side... and always the passage next to the head position in the bed. I would rotate the bed 90° and place the head against the left front wall.

With a garage measuring 6 m on the outside and space for 2 cars, you will have a hard time accessing the storage space behind the garage, for example for bicycles, etc.

The hallway on the ground floor really takes up a lot of space, and then there’s also the passage to the garage.

Living/Dining/Cooking ... everyone always has to pass the sofa to get, for example, a drink. With teenagers in the house, that’s quite a bit of fun. Sofa in front of floor-to-ceiling windows and then everything in the room is actually arranged so that you have 3 separate areas. I would consider swapping living and cooking.

Pantries with less than 130 cm room width are pretty pointless. You can’t even fit a freezer against the wall there because you can’t open the door.

And then I would be interested in a front view. That looks pretty jagged – doesn’t it? And because of the overhanging upper floor, I would also get an initial price estimate. Otherwise, you might achieve similar effects better with a well-planned pergola with rain protection from the start.

The floor area is already "too large" now, so additional storage spaces will be difficult.

Unfortunately, we cannot create more space without expanding the external dimensions and thus the floor areas again (= cost).

Spacious living: Shower toilet 5-6 sqm, yours 9.5 sqm Hallway ground floor 10-12 sqm, yours over 20 sqm Parent area 15-20 sqm, yours 27 sqm Garage storage 6 sqm, yours 16... The design is full of empty spaces and large filler rooms that result from not mastering Tetris. Sorry, but just look at the dressing room. One doesn’t have to say that this is intentional. I also find the superstructure somewhat bulky and not appealing. For a two-story house with staggered levels, I would plan 2500 sqm with a future-oriented approach. Plus a masonry garage, plus others like ancillary building costs, etc...

Thank you very much for the answers and your time!

I will pick out a few points:

1. I still notice the staircase ... --> The staircase was planned and drawn with 304 x 225 cm (according to the introduction thread).
2. Garage with 6 m external dimension and 2 cars, it will be difficult to reach the storage space behind the garage, e.g., for bicycles, etc. --> Since we live very close to the city and have short commuting distances, it will probably remain most of our lives with one car (+ motorcycle + bikes + Bobby car + scooter + etc.). That means the room in the south is exclusively storage space without vehicles.
3. The hallway on the ground floor really costs a lot of space, then also the passage to the garage. + Ground floor hallway 10-12 sqm, yours over 20 sqm --> That was also too big and not directly desired by us so far. However, if you reduce the hallway size, other rooms immediately lose space. Maybe I can reduce something in the east-west width, I will try again.
4. Parents’ area 15-20 sqm, yours 27 sqm + Sorry, but just look at the dressing room. You don’t have to say that this is intended. --> We would also have assigned ourselves less space. However, if you absolutely want this overhang (in a reasonable length so that a table can be placed under it), then the parent wing results accordingly.
5. What room height do you have in mind? --> Clear raw construction height is specified in "my" specification sheet as approx. 2.70 m
6. The design is full of empty space and large filler rooms that occur when one does not master Tetris. --> This presumably has more to do with the fact that I do not plan houses full-time and therefore have not yet developed a feeling for the relationship between plan size and real room size. However, I do not recognize empty space/filler rooms in the described extent.
7. And then I would be interested in a front view. That looks pretty jagged. + I also find the superstructure somewhat bulky and not appealing. --> Is that a matter of taste or a neutral assessment? From our private circle, we have some builders who cannot come to terms at all with a flat-roof house (or Bauhaus style). They typically have a square-practical-gabled roof. But I can’t base my subjective impression on that.

Here is the current southern front.
