Floor plan semi-detached house - very small plot

So if I understand correctly, then about one meter of "antechamber" should be planned

Hello OliverZ,

in principle, I like the floor plan quite a bit.

I would only suggest considering the following points:

- Dining area:

This is very narrow at 2.48 m wide. If the table is occupied on both sides, it will be difficult to impossible to walk past it. I would skip the partition wall and integrate the hallway into the living-dining area. This will gain you a lot of space, not just visually. Then rotate the stairs so that you integrate the ascent to the bedrooms in the living area, not the descent to the basement.

- Cloakroom / WC:

I would swap both rooms – I find a window much more important in the WC.

...

Regards,

Dirk

I told you! :) But there are so many buts that are somehow incomprehensible :rolleyes:

Well, this is what happens when laymen like us try to get the best out of a standard from the [GÜ], but it looks like we only made it worse :-(

Hello,

so if I understand correctly, about one meter of "anteroom" would have to be planned

You have to - at minimum - create a landing after the stairs at the depth of the living room door.

I would also like to write something about your submitted floor plan, which I - frankly - find suboptimal, especially on the ground floor; it somewhat resembles a bowling alley. Semi-detached houses usually don’t leave much planning freedom, but at least your planner should consider all possibilities ... it can be done much better. Especially since your plan - once built - won’t be exactly cheap.

I quickly modified the ground floor plan. A completely different picture emerges if you move the garage 3.00 m backwards; most building authorities allow that, and if not, I would consider switching to a standard garage of 3.00 x 6.00 m; you have planned a basement. This allows you to place the entrance to your semi-detached house on the left side and voilà, farewell bowling alley. Now you have the freedom to consider whether you want a wardrobe or rather another access straight ahead ... whether you want an open kitchen/dining area or not ... whether you want an American-style entrance (directly connected to the living area without a hallway) or prefer to keep it classic ... whether you want the stairs as an integral design element in the living area or rather separated ... as attached, at least the bathroom connections are aligned ... etc. If applicable, you can also extend the stairwell up to the 2.00 m line, which opens up other possibilities for room layout in the upper floor and attic.

Sorry, I hardly comment on floor plans at all .... actually ...

Rhine regards

This door is "not only" not ideal, but also "not" legally approvable according to building regulations ;)

Oops, I wasn't aware of that... :(
Sorry, I had seen this solution in a mid-terrace house, but here the attic was also only converted later and then probably also "tinkered around" the building regulations...

Construction expert, that is really a brilliant idea, we would never have thought of that in our lives. Thank you very much
