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

What do you want? - I warn against ANY staircase of the "sculpture" type in a general contractor's planning! - General contractors are dull bread bakers and therefore unsuitable for wedding cakes.

I briefly (Careful! on Pinterest) gathered staircases that we would like. Which of these would be a wedding cake?

I emphasize again my hope that it is a freelance architect, explicitly not meant to be the draftsman of the builder.

It is an architect in his architectural office, who explicitly works together with a general contractor. Everything was handled personally by him. So I would not speak of a draftsman.

All of them, even the second one. The third would probably be the most discreet form of a design with GU-compatible feasibility.

That’s good; in my opinion, it hasn’t yet become clearly apparent in the creative process.

or or all those who can think in floor plans... : could there be a staircase variant that would provide relief with the current exterior dimensions without at least completely blowing up the entire ground floor layout?

Sorry, but my enthusiasm is turning into the opposite right now. You had a budget and a plan. Because of the budget, you had to drastically downsize but are not willing to give up anything. As you can see, building a house does not work that simply. The architect’s floor plan is not completely wrong with regard to your wishes, but it does not offer great freedom. Too much frills obscure your view of the essentials and take away your living space. Yes, you can also sit on a 2m couch, eat at an 80cm deep table, and go to a bathroom without a window. But all that just for this dormer, where after 3 years nobody will be sitting because it’s simply boring there? Of course, no one wants to talk anyone out of their dream house. But when I see your staircase choice again – only the finest. Honestly: I’m afraid you have to be more realistic, otherwise things will go seriously wrong financially.

Thank you for the honest opinion For us, however, it is the first time in our lives in the past few weeks/months that we are dealing with house construction and floor plans. Neither of us comes from this industry at all. I have already tried to take advice, have thrown some wishes overboard, and started planning from scratch. Therefore, it is not so easy for me to accept the accusation that we are not willing to make any changes... If I had been allowed to share the plan, which did not come about in just a few days, earlier, I certainly would have done so. Then perhaps something might have gone in a different direction earlier. Unfortunately, that was not possible. I was a bit relieved during the process that the architect ultimately chose a similar variant to what Yvonne had once shown. Maybe that made me feel a bit more secure. Now it may not fit so well with the smaller dimensions. Similar to the staircase – it may be that some here can better estimate the price range than we can. If it does not fit into our staircase budget, it has to be another one. But for us, all of this is a learning process that others have already gone through once or several times.

That the more expensive dishes are listed at the bottom of the menu should not require any relevant experience or special knowledge. The more fragile threads and magical forces a staircase depends on, the more expensive it becomes - and that more by a factor than by percentages.

Yes, and you can be proud when you look back from the current state to the beginning of the thread. Pat yourself on the back for that, gladly also in front of the mirror. Pause for a moment and enjoy it. Then take a deep breath and move on: Alone the renunciation of the pillar-free corner window, moving the dining area forward under the bay window, and dragging the roof over the bay window instead of postponing it, as well as my suggestion to pay for the front door and the garage door instead of the tilt-and-slide door. Square meters alone are a rather blunt red pencil. No one needs to fear getting lost in zero-zero-zero-zero-zero-zero-zero-zero-one-five for that reason. As an example of an exemplary attractive result of a seemingly unpretentious building body, I can always gladly recommend the house of @daniels87 , and you can learn a lot from that does not necessarily require inheritances from a rich aunt. In the threads of and you will find further inspiration. Affordable can also be delicious.

Most people only build once in their lives. So you are in good company.

What is the budget for your staircase? What you are showing will probably cost around 11 or 12K, maybe even more. Unfortunately, I have not followed the development of staircase prices that closely.

What do I want to say? Yes, everyone here understands that when building a house, you want to realize your dreams. However, building a house can quickly turn into a nightmare if you lose sight of the essentials. First, the minimum requirements should be met so that living in the new house works. After that, you can see what else might be possible on top.
