Floor plan of a new multi-family house with 3 residential units, living area approx. 350 m²

Is it known that the storage room must be 6 sqm if no basement exists?

That was not known, but it should not be a problem.

I was not aware of that, thank you for the note. Where does this requirement come from?

For you, everything seems to be no problem because you are not a planner.

Where does this requirement come from?

From old times, when every rental apartment was granted a basement room.
Those who build without a basement still have to provide a sufficiently large storage room. A guideline is about 6 sqm. More is also possible.
Of course, this must be seen in relation to the apartment, hence the term "sufficient."

So, I played around a bit and planned two floors.
South is on the right side of the plan, freezer and multipurpose room on the ground floor, floor area is about 15 x 12.5, clearance areas are ensured.
I swapped the children's room on the ground floor again with the bathroom so that no living/sleeping room has to face a car parking space.
The rooms marked as bedrooms have space for a 3-meter wardrobe.
The children's rooms suffer a bit because of the storage room, but there's no helping it.
On the upper floor, there are two storage rooms for the upper and attic floors, accessible from the hallway. The corner is already planned very beneficially.

Hello ypg,

First of all, thank you for your designs, which contain some interesting aspects that have given me new ideas. Above all, the access to the office through the living room. I have somewhat moved away from the idea of making the utility room accessible via the staircase because it makes the stairwell too "hectic" with many doors.

Regarding the storage room, I meant that it shouldn’t be a problem to make it somewhat larger and reach the 6 sqm.

I gave it some more thought over the weekend and came up with a new approach that takes into account some of the points discussed here. I am now leaning towards giving the utility room its own entrance from the outside.



What do you think?

Best regards

We should agree on a direction if there is no north at the top. Otherwise, it is difficult to compare.

What do you think about that?

I find the all-room very nice. Some things are similar or swapped. The bedroom door would have to be moved. Your technical room does not have the necessary 180 x 200, so the draft can actually be discarded. If you want to make the freezer accessible from the outside, then in such a way that no car is parked in front of it and a craftsman can easily get to it. Your office is about 170 cm or similar in width. For the utility room, the narrow shape is not so bad now. But furnishing the office can be tight if you want to move your chair.

I tried to incorporate the concerns of .

Bedroom larger, door relocated. Furnished. Technology and office slightly wider. The master bathroom can also have the entrance from the hallway. A shower bathtub is planned in the children's bathroom.



The district heating distributor can be placed in the technology room and used for all 3 residential units. Therefore, in my opinion, no technology room is required on the upper floor and attic.
