Hello,
attached is one of my first attempts to draw a floor plan for the house to be built.
The plot is available, quite small, the building window is max. 7.50x15.00. The shown draft measures 7.50x12.50. Not shown: the entrance is from the north = street side.
What I tried to realize:
- open floor plan between living, dining and cooking
- protected/covered entrance area
- despite the open floor plan, to separate the entrance area a bit so that you don’t see straight from the front door to the couch and into the garden
- fireplace in the living area
- staircase with landing / avoiding a boring "U-staircase"
- kitchen island (became a peninsula)
- protected/covered terrace area in the southeast corner, exit through sliding door
What I am still not completely satisfied with:
- probably too little light in the hallway area, which is due to the garage not allowing a window on the west side
- staircase descent in a central location
What you don’t see but plays a role:
- we want to build with a basement
- single-storey construction, gable roof ridge/eave parallel to the street, so the staircase must arrive centrally in the upper floor so that you don’t run into the sloping ceilings
Now feel free to hit me with criticism so I can see what I haven’t thought of in order to further develop the design. Overall, I have the feeling that the hallway and staircase area still feel a bit tight.
Thanks in advance and greetings to all!
