Initial ideas for building a small house on a backlot

I thought this forum was supposed to help in a respectful and polite manner.

Then read and understand the answers. Just a brief info from me, 80sqm 3 rooms is small because bathroom and kitchen are included. But a house also needs a utility room for heating, water, electricity, etc., with that you are at 90sqm. Then there are walls, and suddenly the house has 120-140sqm floor area as a single-story building. A tiny house has the space utilization of a caravan, you have to like that.

because you thought it was a floor area ratio

that actually came from the real estate agent - so how the real estate agent explained the development plan to us. hence all the confusion.

80sqm 3 rooms is small,

actually not - bedroom 16sqm, utility room 14sqm, office 9sqm, bathroom 9sqm, living kitchen 30sqm = 69sqm, you still have 11sqm left for no idea what, hallway and so on - it’s actually no longer a tiny house. but since we spend several weeks a year in a 5.40*2.10 anyway.

Then read and understand the answers.

if you repeat/sum up the statement to see if you understood it correctly, is that wrong here? Or if you ask a follow-up question?

So my calculation comes to 78sqm and the hallway is still missing. You can't fit the room layout into 80sqm like that. On top of that, you should arrange the whole thing in a rectangle. Sometimes one room has to be bigger to make it work. What about storage options? You don't have a basement compartment anymore.

I thought one was supposed to be helped respectfully and politely here in the forum.

That's how it is, "and partly admirably patiently" you forgot ;-)

That just shows once again that real estate agent is a vacant profession *LOL* *SCNR* The fact that the difference between "floor area ratio" and "number of floor areas" is linguistically too challenging for real estate agents to understand is explained by their qualification requirements. Most of them manage by remembering more easily that Arabic decimal numbers and Roman integers are to be distinguished.

you still have 11sqm left for I don't know what, hallway and so on -

Without a hallway, it's possible, but then all rooms are walk-through rooms, That has all happened before :rolleyes:
