Keyword/search term needed for appropriate floor plan search

My mother-in-law has a very similar floor plan. The house is located in Franconia and was built in the post-war years. Each wall is made from a different building material (whatever was available at the time), compacted clay floor with tiles on top in the basement. However, it was built as a semi-detached house. Overall, the floor plan is probably found about 10 times in the street, partly as semi-detached houses, partly somewhat larger as single-family houses.
It was renovated 10-12 years ago; during the renovation, the wall between the living room and the bedroom (the two large rooms) was removed. So the ground floor now consists of living/dining room, kitchen, hallway, and bathroom. It was initially planned as a two-family house, which is why there is still a door in the hallway (where the stairs end).

Maybe it was the same architect :) The same here – bedroom right next to the living room, apparently that was common back then. With such small rooms, an open floor plan is basically a must.

Why don’t you start the planning already? You’re just wasting time if construction is supposed to start. How large are the dimensions, 9*9.5m?

I can only dream of those measurements. According to the original plan, it’s 8 x 7.50m... minus the thick exterior walls, you can imagine how cozy it is inside ;)

No matter what, new construction or renovation – why do you need a similar floor plan? One remodels an existing property according to one’s own needs. You don’t need to look at other floor plans with similar stair positions. They are there, so just go for it!

Similar floor plans are not a requirement, but I have always been interested in seeing how everyone comes up with different ideas – not just for my own project. For example, with terraced houses you almost always see similar patterns, yet here and there are some that are completely different – I just like discovering things like that. But nicely and aptly put – you take what’s there and adapt it to your own needs – that’s exactly what I intend to do ;)

I didn’t expect so much encouragement – I thought people would rather advise me to gather more information. But then I’m more than happy to start right away and will upload a detailed description myself at some point. Until then, I’ll try to get a bit familiar with the forum here.

Built in the early 60s, you wrote - but thick exterior walls were not common back then at all.

Well, of course I haven't measured it (yet). I'm just trying to interpret the plan from back then, and according to it, a wall should be about 24 cm thick – to what extent this corresponds to the standards of that time or today, I can't say as a layperson. But in such a small house, a good half meter does make quite a difference. ;-)

At that time, 24 cm was common, a little more common back then would have been 25 cm. For an exterior wall, that is not much, a house is not a tent.

That's how small two-family houses were built in the past. Parents downstairs, grandparents upstairs. You didn't need much besides a bedroom, living room, kitchen, and the toilet was either still outside or already installed inside.

Fortunately. I am already curious when the topic "insulating old houses" comes up; I have experienced both positive and negative cases.

Back then, it was definitely a consideration that two families would move in there. However, in the end, only "three" people moved in. For the toilet, you even had the free choice—inside the house or an outdoor privy. In the basement, there was always preserved fruit from the garden, and cooking (plus heating) was done on the kitchen stove. If I had one wish for the house, I would do everything to make sure the kitchen stove stays there!
