From this then emerged the floor plan, which is based on an already built house in which we feel very comfortable.
Why then only based on it?
Hopefully your notification won’t burst from the many likes I give in another thread.
Yes, it does – and above all, I’m less happy about a like overflow than if you understood my hints in your own thread.
Edit: the funny thing is: after we shelved our first (oversized and rightly completely dismantled) draft, we started differently: which rooms do we want in what size? Where are we often, where less so. From this then came a square. The client didn’t like that much; she wished for a Lego brick. But since everything is in it, we are still at 10.5x10.5.
The funny thing is: you changed a lot, but whether Gouda or Tilsiter, it’s both cheese. And it wouldn’t have been dismantled much less either. Free yourselves from the unproductive approach of burdening plans each time with the mortgage of some exterior concept. Rather give your house a chance to develop. You can still add lots of flair in the finish – but not with early predefinitions on certain features like clinker brick, lack of eaves, or a specific aspect ratio of the enclosing walls.
You are of course right. The children’s rooms are a bit tight, but I’m cool with that. They face south, which is very important to me. The kids will spend a lot of time there.
We are talking about the south of your property, not south in the sense of the Canary Islands. Will the children be grateful for that? – I rather think they won’t be “cool with it” at all to have ended up with the leftover areas of a mainly square floor plan (which has little to do with size).
