Thank you very, very much
11ant for the detailed answer and explanation!!
A disgrace for the companies we have already asked, who could not explain this to us even though we asked repeatedly whether the implementation with the basement was realistic and whether this should be understood with the reference height as in our sketch.
The house is on average located at the elevation line 209, the garage at an average of 208.5 and therefore not at a suitable height for use as a roof terrace nor pulled back below the windows on the south side – so I see the planning as in need of revision.
If we have to assume the actual ground level, then I completely agree with you.
Own research did not help me with the reference height and the general contractors did not enlighten us further.
That brings me back closer to my original idea of planning the garages to the north at the property boundary and creating a connection to the main building through an entrance canopy or carport. Then there will probably be a long driveway.
Raising the house closer to the reference height reduces the knee wall options and will lift the basement too far; however, that would be necessary for a garage located fully below the ground floor. 1. As sketched, I therefore do not see this as arrangeable and 2. I see the floor of the ground floor ideally lying around 209 or 209.5.
As I said, we assumed that our ground floor will be at 210.5 and we would have to move earth masses for the garden and retain them. Only in this way did the garage with the roof terrace roof come about.
3. overall, I see a "Fuchs" level of the architect required, which a general contractor draftsman rarely brings.
What is a "Fuchs" level? Google does not know it either .
Regarding the desired knee wall >150, I would like to point out that a knee wall is always also a dividing line: either only facade windows go below on the eaves side and only roof windows above, or dormers must be used. Angled windows in both surfaces have never become really fashionable for good reason. I therefore advise against such king-size knee walls and see a practical height rather at a finished dimension of 120 (between 100 and 125). A good knee wall fully substitutes a dwarf wall, but not beyond that.
Here I am little willing to compromise. Such a low knee wall is acceptable to me only if the floor area is huge. Then the children's room would easily be 20 sqm, the bathroom 15 or more …
Likewise, I rather imagine knee wall windows than roof windows, which require a certain knee wall height. Unless one of you can convince me of unbreakable roof window shutters that can or may be used even in difficult weather (frost).
If you already have an offer. What is he quoting?
The offer is complete nonsense. Absolutely opaque, all desired positions not listed, and then, as 11ant has now explained, not feasible at all. About 450k for 200 sqm (floor area incl. walls 104 sqm, with residential basement) house. Hardly any windows, without carport, with prefab double garage, no outdoor area.
Another rough offer from a prefab house company would be about 360k. Here, after our own calculations with 550k with everything included, we would then be in the race, i.e. also kitchen for 25k, garage for 40k included.
By the way, our aerial work platform, higher garage, 3rd garage parking space or carport, swimming pond and Aga stove have also fallen victim to the budget.
At the point you are now, we all were
I actually wanted to hear that it still somehow works :-P … I'm already trying to get used to laminate flooring to gain one more sqm for the garage. We no longer mention the 3.50m height and the lift we would like to have … Although the 3rd garage or carport is a must. I neither want to get into a boiling hot car nor have to scrape ice off. It doesn't have to be built in the first 2 years, but in the 3rd .
Timber frame or stone on stone. I guess timber frame
The first offer is timber frame.
The one with our calculations for a total of 550k as well.
Where does the street run?
right in the picture, so southeast
I would plan it similarly to us.
Southeast garage and yard
Next to it the basement with
Living, dining, terrace in the west
Entrance in the south
Bathroom south
Kitchen southwest
House technology has the windowless room between garage, slope, stairs
Upstairs bedrooms, bathroom, utility room access to the north
Gable roof
The garage would initially be only for the vintage cars, so it does not necessarily have to be on the main driveway and doubly drivable with the yard. With 9 m length, the oldtimers could also be parked one behind the other.
Here we have to/can rethink again now.
Terrace on the roof is really like living on a plate
I don’t care, whoever wants to look can look. I just want to see something too.
