Single-family house for 4 people - Opinions

What do you expect from this forum?

Of course, it can be improved.

Why do you have a bad floor plan redrawn?
You see: an apparently nice floor plan is not so nice after all, and you want to stick to it?
There are plenty of similar floor plans that are more coherent. Sorry, but I don’t understand your behavior.

Not from this forum but from the post. I wanted to know if the outdoor areas, garage, paths, and arrangement of the rooms in the house are consistent.

I have the redrawing done using the original Gussek Haus floor plans. Mine has too many errors in the details. Why is the floor plan bad now? Of course, not everything is perfect but for us most of it is.

P.s. Your convoy of cars with sheds of course does not count as boundary development. There are limits. Check your state building code.

Thanks. I had completely forgotten about that.

Of course, sure.

Is that prescribed anywhere in the development plan? Then it would be something different, because set by the authorities. If your neighbors all have the garage on the west side, it would be even better if yours is on the east. Please think about it.

The development plan required it like that. Since the lowered curb is there, I didn’t doubt it. I couldn’t find any regulations about it in the development plan. Maybe I just didn’t find them.

What a pun!

We have 8 m between garage and house and still it often whistles there and the wind howls. Until it doesn’t whistle for you, your land isn’t that big.

How much distance do you have between house and garage? Does it whistle only when it’s windy? Do you hear it inside the house too? Do you still have a door between house and garage?

How much distance do you have between house and garage?

As said: 8m.

Does it only whistle when it is windy?

Well, such a channel is like a bottleneck in a river. When the wind wants to pass through there, it speeds up. A light breeze already becomes an annoying wind, etc. The narrower, the worse it gets.

Do you hear that inside the house, too?

Indeed. But it has to be really windy at 8m.

Do you still have a door between house and garage?

Nope.

Two full stories will not be more expensive than a knee wall house with a large dormer.

For us, the 2 full stories were even a low five-figure amount cheaper.

Garage and carport in a row are nothing. After the 5.x „Honey, move your car, I have to go“ one parks somewhere else

Or not: with one letter switched in the license plate, it doesn’t stand out on either company parking spot if one simply drives to work with the other’s car.

Exactly: what would be against simply building "the Gussek house" as a "town villa" – even an architecturally weak-minded developer should be able to figure that out.

There is nothing against going for a city villa. I also think that they might manage that better than a single-family house with one and a half stories. However, I have to admit that I have not found a suitable floor plan for a city villa on the internet.

It needs bedrooms, 2 children's rooms, guest room on the ground floor, study, guest WC with shower and storage room upstairs. Then of course the usual other rooms.

Simply building the Gussek House as a city villa looks stupid too, doesn't it? At least in terms of dimensions. I imagine a city villa to be approximately square-shaped.

Maybe I’m just looking at it too narrowly.
