Single-family house northeast slope 230m2 gable roof

Thank you for all the feedback! Especially also for the suggestions from on how it could be done better concretely.

I will certainly have to consult an architect again. Unfortunately, the last one produced almost 80 m2 of corridor space (excluding stairs, elevator, and entrance area). Hence my distrust.

Unfortunately, I cannot respond in detail to everything written, so below is a selection of comments:

the many central shafts are not acceptable. In case of clogged pipes it goes under the floor slab, which I consider a major technical planning error.

There would only be a single central shaft. With one drain pipe. The other drain pipe would be just next to the northern exterior wall, which from my layman’s perspective is unproblematic. So one of the two necessary drain pipes remains problematically long under the slab. It makes sense that this wouldn’t be optimal in terms of clogging or wear. However, it does not seem unusual if you use Google image search (see attachment). Is there no workable technical workaround for such cases?

The parent area is illogically designed. When I want to sleep, my husband always scurries through the bedroom to wash, get dressed, go to the toilet again, then out. The advantages of a dressing room are not given.

If you don’t want to wake the partner, couldn’t you take your clothes and go through the hallway to the bathroom?

And I want to be able to access the terrace directly from the kitchen and not have to open doors.

That could be easily solved with a sliding door.

I can only imagine a bathroom without a window in a single-room apartment in a multi-family house.

I objectively fully agree! The reason it doesn’t bother me subjectively is probably due to 3 points:

[*]I have never had the pleasure of living in a place with a window in the bathroom in three decades
[*]I work in a public building without windows in the bathroom
[*]A controlled residential ventilation system is installed

I only find a secondary apartment sensible if, for example, you bring your parents into the house or need a nanny for your 5 children who is supposed to live there, maybe a caregiver in case of disability – those kinds of cases.

That is what the secondary apartment is intended for. Au pair, care, guests, etc. Renting it out is not planned. I think it would be too small for that.

think about a later division of the house into a two-family house and hope that one of the children, for example, moves into the upper floor. To this end, you already plan a separate stairwell that could later be separated by a wall.

The separability of the stairwell would be possible, right? Hence also separate entrances in the basement and ground floor.

the unusual wall thicknesses

Exterior wall is 25 cm brick, 24 cm mineral wool + ventilation gap and facade panels (if that is what is meant) or concrete + XPS in the perimeter area.

the secondary apartment runs, for example, across the meadow

The exterior area is not planned yet. Of course, the area would not consist of meadow.

The separability of the stairwell would be possible, right? Hence also separate entrances in the basement and ground floor.

I cannot see a possible separation between the ground floor and upper floor. You can only separate the basement – but no one wants to live there.

I will certainly have to hire an architect again. Unfortunately, the last one produced almost 80 m2 of hallway space (without stairs, elevator, and entrance area).

Oh, there was already an architect? - then you should show their proposal for comparison.

then you should show his proposal for comparison.

I have no rights to the draft.

Here’s to new beginnings!

I do not see access to the restroom on the ground floor.

Best regards
