Floor plans for single-family house, approx. 140 m², without basement

Here are 2 more pictures of the building site

- An office with <6 sqm is not possible, you will go stir-crazy in there - a HAR with a good 10 sqm if there is no heat generator in the house... may I ask why? I know quite a few floor plans that in such cases only have a niche or a closet. - Do you want to build the flair with city and countryside as well?

I could imagine that the staircase does not work or is much too steep.

Hello and thank you very much for the feedback! I agree about the office, of course. I had hoped it would work if you can let your gaze wander out the window. Besides, it is really meant to be a pure workspace, with a desk and a filing cabinet, nothing more. My experience with study rooms is that they are mostly misused as storage rooms and then eventually no one goes in there anymore because it is way too messy to work in. Most of the time we work on laptops in the living room anyway, only sometimes do I need peace and quiet. Still, the doubts are justified, I am also not yet sure. But I also don’t know where space could be cut. That brings us to the topic of the [HAR], which not only houses technology but also serves as a storage room (for items used frequently, vacuum cleaner, cleaning supplies, drinks, etc., the rest in the attic) and for hanging laundry. We would actually prefer not to make it smaller. It really puzzles us how some manage without a basement, who then combine technology, storage, and laundry room in 5 sqm. Our assumption: The rest of the house is then quite full. Example laundry: Where would you hang laundry in the house if, in the extreme case, only a cupboard niche is available? I think it’s good when someone says “that simply won’t work,” it gives an opportunity to move away from one’s own idea and consider alternatives.

For the staircase, I based the measurements on the Treppenmeister website. Usable tread width 90 cm, 15 risers with about 25 cm tread depth. That adds up to 135 cm x 339 cm in total. I think the floor plan could allow for a few more centimeters. The standard staircase from Stadt&Land is significantly smaller, but I have already seen that a tread width of 100 cm is generally recommended here in the forum... Hmm..., you’d have to see it in person. Yes, we are considering building with Stadt & Land, but we have also discussed this floor plan with other companies (usually significantly more expensive).
