Floor plan design for a semi-detached house 17x10m - Best space utilization?

- Staircase is fully in the dirt area, you always bring dirt upstairs

True... I have to think about it again.

- a straight staircase with this positioning doesn’t allow for reasonable rooms, the house is simply too small for that

Hmm, okay. Would a 90-degree landing staircase achieve more?

- longer way from kitchen to terrace is unfortunate and not modern; direct access from kitchen to terrace is especially great in summer

I agree with you on one hand, on the other hand, in my opinion, the east side is the only possible kitchen side, otherwise the living area would have to move to either the northeast or southeast (depending on the half of the house) toward the street side. Or am I making a mistake there?

- is the utility room for the washing machine? Even with a basement it’s very nice to have a room for laundry on the upper floor... you avoid that annoying stair run with the laundry then

At the moment we carry the laundry from the 2nd upper floor down to the laundry basement and it doesn’t bother us particularly. Washing machine and dryer will go in the basement; this compromise doesn’t hurt me much. If we build with a basement, the utility room can be completely omitted or made smaller and become the pantry.

- upper floor: rooms for guest and office of 6 sqm... better to combine, otherwise no one will ever feel comfortable in there because it’s tiny

Definitely, I think this is just a first suggestion and planning basis. I don’t like it this way either.

- in the upper floor this kind of staircase destroys reasonable rooms for the house size.. There is unfortunately a reason why most semi-detached houses of this size look very similar... I am not a fan of that either but the design makes it worse.

I feared something like that. *crying* So should we completely redesign? Thanks already for the input.

I would have spontaneously combined eating/cooking and created a quiet sofa/TV corner in the area intended for the kitchen.

I'm not really sure what scares you about the usual layouts. Here's an example with a landing. Try to describe what you want differently.



With a basement and expansion reserve, you will probably not get around the landing.

Is the design really that bad? I think: no!

However, it could be a bit more relaxed if the staircase makes a 90-degree turn on both sides or on one side. Just try it: this way, less square meters are wasted. In between, the wardrobe could then also be installed

At the moment, we run the laundry from the 2nd floor to the laundry room and it doesn’t bother us particularly.

Girl, you’re not getting younger! At some point, you will hate it!

Hasn't the bungalow for the final stage already been planned by then?

By then, haven't you already planned the bungalow for the last phase?

You struggle for 10 years before you accept it and search for a plot for 10 years. That's 20 years spent cursing. I would instead integrate guest/office space in the basement. There is plenty of room there. I must admit, I am in training and have little time to check the drafts.

With a stair angle, a chamber will be created at the top.... or you take part of the office....
