Who will help me with my floor plan?

That's also how I see it. Absolutely fine for a single person. It also allows a bit of [Hafencityloft] fantasy to be lived out. I just wouldn't waste money unnecessarily and move away from the U shape towards an L shape or even a rectangle with a recessed south section for a covered terrace. It really becomes cheaper. The area consumption is also lower. The plot is better utilized. Since the thing has no basement and even a single person has some stuff that has to go somewhere: a staircase to the attic instead of a ladder. 30-degree roof pitch instead of 25. Studio rafters instead of timber frame rafters provide a good basement substitute upstairs. And it comes to around 9,000 thousand including tax.

So, here with the plot,



Here with dimensions and more realistic wall thicknesses


You got it. My thoughts were similar. I want a practical place that meets my requirements.

That’s why I am posting this here as well. I personally like my plan. But I want to build it so that it might also be interesting as a holiday home for a couple.

It starts at the entrance, passes the narrow spot by the kitchen, goes into an open space with the computer room, and oh yes, the living room is still attached. Then the window arrangement. I can’t imagine how it will look with a roof on. Is the bottom left a training room? What is the room in front of it without windows? Also, a huge bathroom with two doors in a single-person household?"

I want to keep plastering work as low as possible, therefore no hallways. I find the narrow spot by the kitchen interesting, it also bothered me a bit. I will reconsider it now, thanks. The computer room is the most important, the living room is secondary for me. I spend at least twice as much time at the PC. Therefore, the main focus is on the PC workspace. The shed is bottom right. I want it integrated into the house. Top right is the hobby room where maybe an air mattress can be placed for guests and where I can record YouTube videos.

I don’t think the bathroom is that huge. The sauna needs its space and I want a shower without glass because I don’t want to clean glass. Two doors, yes, that’s how it is.

But I’m here to gather impressions. And today I will sit down and change the plan based on the impressions and post it here again.

What I like about my plan:

Great view of the entire vegetable garden
Terrace on the south side and I also get the sunset through the windows in the west.
Super wind-protected terrace. I live 10 km from the North Sea and there is regular wind, so I will also consider that in the garden design and hope to create a very wind-protected outdoor seating area.
I wanted a hobby room, which can be another bedroom for others if I sell it.
Important for me is that the toilet is directly accessible from the living kitchen and bedroom.
No hallways.
Open ceiling in the living room.
Lots of space in the kitchen. I spend at least 2 hours daily in the kitchen (clean eater). Yesterday I made grains and baked fresh bread. That’s why it’s also important to have direct access from the kitchen to the garden for herbs and vegetables.
Living room, PC room, and kitchen are not visible from the street.
Shed integrated into the house.
As close as possible to the property boundary on the north side, I don’t see it anyway and don’t want much maintenance work there.
Complete embankment on the east and south side, about 2 meters high earth wall.

So Studiobinder and 30 degrees saved. Exactly what I need. But I don’t want a staircase. Folding ladder in the hobby room. I don’t have that much stuff, and if I have a utility room and a hobby room, there isn’t much left that I often have to go up to the attic.

I always thought L


But then I learned that it’s better energetically to build round. And the closest to that is square or rectangular. Well, that’s how I ended up with the shape I have now.

I am thinking about your suggestion "L shape or even rectangle with a recessed south part for a covered terrace," thanks

what is that above the PC desk? The bathroom window is far too small!

Best regards

a picture. Bathroom window was enlarged

I think it's good now; if the terrace is open to the SW. Possibly a small shower plus WC in the anteroom to the fitness center? Serves at the same time as a visitor's toilet.
