Hello everyone,
I own a plot of land of about 880 sqm, which is to be built on with a multi-family house.
The municipality’s requirements so far: maximum width 15 meters, depth up to 13 meters.
The plot is a steep hillside property. The ground floor entrance would be almost level, access to basement and attic apartments might have to be via external staircases on the gable side.
I have now drafted a plan for a 4-room apartment, which I don’t like. The right side would be designed as a mirror image.
In the attic possibly only 3 rooms, with large dormers allowed. In the basement, 2 two-room apartments could be created with ground-level terraces. The rest of the basement is in the earth, so not suitable for living rooms, etc.
So, now my actual question. Is such an apartment rentable, would you move in there with 1 or 2 children or alone as a couple? There would be a balcony on the south side in front of the bedroom and living room.
Do you have any ideas on how to better accommodate the rooms on the narrow space? You can’t get much out of the approximately 7 meters width. Is it better to plan only 3 rooms?
All of this is still a thought experiment, I would appreciate any input, if that is even possible with so little information.
