Single-family house plot purchased opinion on architect drawing

Where is the picture?

Quite old-fashioned, the draft (Rest I haven’t read)

we have 2 bay windows, each 60cm deep, 1 x 180, 1 x 200cm wide, the house was built in '95, today that is outdated, would not plan it anymore.

The mentioned windows were in my brother's house, built in '86, also with a bay window. If windows with muntins, then something more modern and only in one place like here for example, if it should be something different.



No, you don't have to cover every exterior wall with floor-to-ceiling windows/terrace doors, as is fashionable now.

What do you mean by stone house planning? What exactly is the difference

Numerous dimensions in the floor plan indicate a design intended for construction with stone walls, which would only be practical if this is actually planned. But firstly, you mention a model house from a wooden house provider as an example, and secondly, your posts here (and elsewhere explicitly through the described wall construction) cast doubt on whether the design is meant to be executed in stone. Certain planning grids and dimensions make sense in stone as shown, but differ in wood. Whether the house is to be built from stone or wood makes significant differences in the structural concept.

Execution as a wooden house, timber frame construction, closed beam ceiling, insulation between rafters, only purlins visible

House design
Who designed it:
Preliminary sketch by us, design by architect

What do you particularly like? Why?
Open living area, staircase not in living area, bedroom upstairs due to view, bright rooms, children’s rooms not adjacent to parents’ bedroom, garage attached to the house so you are always dry in winter, we live in a snowy area at 600m

What do you not like? Why?
Currently utility room, guest bathroom area is not well integrated, wardrobe too small (maybe omit), orientation of terrace, front side due to veranda roof too close to house roof (considering dormer on front side)

Cost estimate according to architect/planner: large house 450,000; small house 360,000 but without considering own work which is very high

Preferred heating technology: heat pump geothermal and underfloor heating; controlled residential ventilation with recirculated heat recovery

If you have to do without, on which details/extensions
-you can do without:
Fireplace, children’s bathroom upstairs if family bathroom is spacious
-you cannot do without:
Open living area, living room large enough for home cinema (approx. 5x5m), woman’s office, woman’s dressing room or sufficient wardrobe, children’s rooms not directly adjacent to parents’ bedroom

Why is the design as it is now? For example:
Standard design from planner? Own design submitted to architect and received design as in picture
Which wishes were implemented by the architect?
Open living dining cooking area, hallway area, veranda

What is the most important/basic question about the floor plan summarized in 130 characters?
Is the orientation or the house construction well integrated on the plot or can it be used better? There is space after all.

Why don't you build with eksjöhus?
