Suggestions for the floor plan of a single-family house about 175 sqm, gable roof house

The plan is definitely much better than the one from the initial post. Are there also views?

Why not put the garage on the boundary?

I agree. Unfortunately, especially on the ground floor, there seemed to be a family pack of botched jobs on special offer; the planner probably lost track himself. By the time the masonry is supposed to become reality, hopefully he has also unlearned the extremely confusing dimensioning. Masons like to simply follow drawings rigidly, which should be taken into account when planning. The southwest child’s room will be noticeably warmer than the northwest child’s room. The windows in the office don’t properly open according to the plan, the WC door is hung the wrong way, the wall jamb to the terrace at the kitchen line should be given an extra octameter, and many more things an architect should really notice himself. Do yourselves a favor in the interest of a constructively cleanly solved ridge plate and extend the roof of the bay window, i.e., continue it in the slope; the section clearly shows that this does not harm the room, and for the roof construction it means a significant reduction in complexity (less potential damage and also around five digits cheaper). Also, skip the unnecessary lift-and-slide door; rather repeat the narrow-wide kitchen window as narrow-wide-narrow here. The laundry chute would be best in the corner, the boiler then comes behind the door, and the washing machine/dryer switch to the street side. What are the weird dashed rebate lines of the eaves-side windows on the upper floor supposed to represent?

We had thought about that first. But then we would always have to go through the garden around the house with the bicycles if both cars are inside, because the cellar replacement is supposed to be attached at the back. The idea was to leave a path on the side.

What also strikes me is the 3.62m for the kitchen width rough measure. That’s rubbish because with plaster the 6 x 60 cm kitchen cabinets just won’t fit. Yes, it looks nice in the floor plan, but in reality I would plan at least 3 cm of plaster. Was that actually a fireplace on the ground floor with a chimney or something else? In the first case, I miss the chimney on the upper floor. Apart from that, a guest WC without a window is of course a pity, but overall I don’t think the floor plan is bad.

I have read about these botched jobs so many times in other posts and still have no idea how to avoid them...

The southwest child will get a noticeably warmer room than the northwest child.

That’s probably true. Swapping the northwest child with the sleeping area makes the situation with the dressing room complicated again. I think the kids would manage that though. After all, the rooms are identical (in size) :)

The windows in the office do not open properly according to the plan, the WC door is hung the wrong way, the wall attachment to the terrace at the kitchen line should be given one more octameter

You mean in the office because of the desk? It was just pushed around for now. Actually, a simple desk should go under the street window or against the opposite wall. The furnishing of the room is not fixed yet.

Where would you have the door in the WC hung? Inwards or what exactly is wrong?

Also skip the unnecessary lift-and-slide door, rather repeat here the narrow-wide kitchen window narrow-wide-narrow.

Do you find the lift-and-slide door generally unnecessary or what exactly is the reason?

The laundry chute would be best in the corner, the boiler then goes behind the door, and washing machine/dryer switch to the street side. What are the strange dashed bevel lines of the eaves-side windows on the upper floor supposed to represent?

I’ll keep the distribution in the utility room in mind. Honestly, I don’t exactly know what you mean by the bevel lines? Maybe they are supposed to be the roller shutter boxes? The eaves side should have windows that can tilt down to be cleaned properly.

What also strikes me are the 3.62m as the rough measurement for the kitchen width. That's rubbish because with plaster the 6 x 60cm kitchen cabinets just don't fit. Yes, it looks nice in the floor plan, but in reality I would at least plan for 3cm of plaster.

So should it rather be 3.66m?

Was that actually a fireplace on the ground floor with a chimney or something else? In the first case, I miss the chimney on the upper floor. Apart from that, a guest WC without a window is of course a pity, but overall I don't find the floor plan bad.

No, no fireplace with chimney. It was initially supposed to be just an option for a bioethanol fireplace. Whether something will come of it in the end remains open. I have to inform myself again about the fire hazard. Alternatively, at that spot maybe a room divider or something similar or even nothing at all. For the guest WC without a window we will probably plan a skylight to the wardrobe area to still capture some daylight above it. I'm already a bit happy that you don't find the floor plan disgusting at first :cool:
