Whether we want to hire an architect, I'm not quite sure what you mean by that. A construction company is supposed to take care of everything. ... Next, I want to try again with the upper floor.
That can become a problem if you, as a layperson, try something here, change something there, plan the ground floor without the upper floor, don’t even consider the ground floor based on simple static requirements, and then go to a construction company that blindly builds what you give them: a hefty five-figure surcharge for the statics, a WC door that hits the urinal and therefore only opens at a 70-degree angle, a toilet without a flush tank, terrace windows that are blocked by furniture, and...
Kitchen = dead end, we want it that way, we don’t want a connection to the hallway.
...a kitchen where two people bump into each other and can neither get in nor out if they dare to both take the path to the back right to the glasses. That then also has nothing to do with the hallway. Nevertheless, you have to adapt to the conditions of the property:
7.5 meters in width – you have to subordinate yourself to that – and it may be that you have to take some distance from wishes. When I think of 7.5, I think of a “narrow kitchen that will be somewhat longer.” You basically have to divide the 7.5 into two areas if you want the entrance in front. From the 7.5, subtract the walls again... and: what about the roof overhangs? Are you sure that 7.5 isn’t actually too wide?
I revised the draft again and, funnily enough, after 10 attempts I am now closest again to the very first drawing. The latest version is attached.
Yes, it can be funny and even fun. It can also be helpful because you slowly get a feeling for it. But a draft is simply not done in a few days, and you don’t want to work on it for a few years either (I’m referring to slowness). What is your leisure time worth to you that you spend on it?
The phenomenon that you keep moving in circles comes from not knowing any more possibilities
