Hello,
We are currently working on the floor plan design; attached is the architect's proposal. We generally like the floor plan very much, but I find that an unnecessarily large amount of living space is wasted on the hallway/foyer/staircase. Does anyone have suggestions for improvement?
Development plan/restrictions
Plot size 2,200 m2
No slope
Construction is in Saxony-Anhalt
Number of floors 2 floors
There is no development plan; it should only fit with the buildings on the street (purely residential area)
Client requirements
Style, roof shape, building type: simple form, shed roof
Without basement
Number of people, age: four persons, including two children of kindergarten age
Space requirements on the ground floor: living room, large kitchen, pantry, WC with shower, guest room, utility room
Space requirements on the upper floor: bedroom, dressing room, three children's rooms, bathroom, additional toilet
Sleep guests per year 1x/month
Closed architecture
Conservative construction
Kitchen: preferably with cooking island
Number of dining seats 6
No balcony, roof terrace
No garage, carport
House design
Planning by:
- Architect
What do you particularly like? Why? Flexible and adaptable floor plan; it could later be divided into two units
What do you not like? Why? Too much living space wasted on hallway/foyer/stairs
Preferred heating technology: heat pump, underfloor heating
If you have to do without, which details/features
- You can do without: gallery on the upper floor, additional toilet on the upper floor
- You cannot do without: floor plan must remain adaptable
Why is the design as it is now?
It is important to us that the single-family house can be divided into two residential units
What is the most important/basic question about the floor plan summarized in 130 characters?
Can the hallway/foyer/stairs be reduced?
