New construction of an approximately 8x11 semi-detached house, assessment of floor plan and windows

Thank you very much for your contributions and comments!

I would like to advise you to see something like this live. With and without a wall.

Watching exactly that live will be difficult – we would then have to build it twice

[...] mini staircase [...]

We have actually already seen the staircase in a show house, and we didn’t find it that mini at all. I was surprised myself.
(Space-saving staircases are usually less wide.)

It is probably wider than a towel or even bowling alley terraced house. Nevertheless, it remains in character a semi-detached house, with the typical concept:

In part, I agree with you: The semi-detached house character of course comes into play because no window is possible on one side and
the arrangement of the rooms is rather oriented to the longitudinal side (as opposed to a single-family house).
Regarding the dimensions, however, there are enough single-family houses that have similar measurements (I have checked various pages of prefab house providers and their show houses again). We get about 138 sqm of living space with the floor plan, distributed over ground and upper floors. A typical semi-detached or terraced house reaches a similar living space, but distributed over 3 floors. In this respect, I would say it is closer to a single-family house.

Friends of ours have a single-family house with 125 sqm, the same number of rooms. Nobody there suffers from claustrophobia. Not even at a party with 10 guests.

For this, I consider the recessing of the stair area unsuitable. Rather, I would think of a change of flooring (in both visualizations the same floor is shown for both areas – in my opinion this is a kitchen with TV corner).

We have considered a change of flooring kitchen (tiles) – living/dining area (parquet). However, I could not visualize that with the program – unfortunately only one type of flooring was possible...

We are talking here about an 8 x 11 floor plan. Sometimes not even “normal” houses have that...

Thanks

Watching that live exactly like that will be difficult - we would have to build twice

Sometimes it helps just to look at the pictures on Immonet or IS24 under semi-detached house or terraced house. Everything has been built before, closed or open.

We have planned a change of flooring from the kitchen (tiles) to the living/dining area (parquet).

From my point of view, this creates a significantly clearer structuring effect than the floor plan cutout, as mentioned. Especially if continued with the wall surfaces.

Even on a small footprint, space can be created ... 9.00 x 9.50

You can create space even on a small footprint ...

Thank you very much. The living/dining area and kitchen are planned similarly to how we have it right now.
What are the dimensions/square meters of the individual areas?
If you have any more pictures, that would of course be great Also feel free to send them via pm.

Edit: And the staircase is even outside...

From me first as well: Great opening, floor plan and everything included, it really makes it fun to look at the things.

Just a note here that I would also leave the staircase out of the living area. Once because of the basement and then also for the teenager / Privatissimo reasons you mentioned.

However, I would swap living and cooking.

And, I don't find the dressing room, parents' bedroom and bathroom optimal yet, but I couldn't come up with a good suggestion quickly.

I would probably rather do without the corner windows both in the office and the bedroom.
