Hello,

that will not work. From your 6 meters width, after deducting the walls, 5.2 meters remain in the interior. If there is a partition wall in between, 2.5 meters room width per room remain. Not feasible. Therefore, the floor plan will have to allocate one side for the hallway and the stairs, the other side and the gables are reserved for the rooms.

With the required number of rooms, a basement with a light well is necessary. Thus, upstairs two children's rooms, a bedroom, and two bathrooms or one bathroom and a walk-in closet could fit. The offices must go into the basement.

Such a plot is actually only interesting if the disadvantage of the lack of width is compensated by other outstanding characteristics (city center location, view, villa location, lake view, etc.).

Best regards

Do you need "real" home office rooms (8sqm+ per room, possibly tax-deductible because it's the main workplace, etc.) or is less sufficient? As far as I know, the requirements for "mobile working" are often lower and in theory that is possible in the kitchen/living room. Although a separate room is often more practical, especially when I think about phone calls and such (and possibly locking away work stuff). We're not quite sure yet, but we have a small storage room of 4.5sqm that will potentially become an office for me sooner or later. Would something like that be conceivable for you, or rather not?

If you need normally sized offices, then you probably have little other choice in terms of square meters than to move at least one room to another floor.

You don't have to equip narrow houses with central partition walls. You plan to divide them differently than in the middle.

No, they are not rare. But rare are those who fixate on something there.

Because they are designed for the large target group without individual wishes. As already said. Whoever wants more has to go directly to the home builder and ask for an individual plan or just take an architect who plans the house with the individual wishes.


I would now, for example, seriously question that specifically. Why must 2 home office spaces necessarily be upstairs?
Ultimately, you need a balance of square meters for ground floor and upper floor. With your wish for 5 rooms plus stairs plus corridor plus bathroom, even a standard-type house or an architect house will have problems because you need about 1/3 more floor area upstairs than downstairs. You need about 100 sqm upstairs with your wish! If the budget fits, then of course you can build like that (different plot). But then it's 200 sqm including a 70 sqm large all-purpose room. If you can afford that, then you could probably also invest in a simpler plot.

And therefore inflexible concretizing, clinging to old habits or one’s mental knotting without ever escaping the unconscious mindset of the little man (attention: saying, don’t take it personally), is more than harmful when it comes to building cost-efficiently on a plot that is not 08/15 but requires a bit more mental freedom.
You adapt the house to the plot, not the other way around.


Of course it makes sense to deal with it. Absurd are requirements that are not even possible. If then there is also the wish for a toilet in the bathroom and a long island in the kitchen, then you have to give up and look for something more expensive.

Development plan?!

Explain that to us! I guess something was misunderstood either by the authorities or by you.

You forget that besides the development plan, the location (site plan), especially orientation and street position, as well as parking regulations and specifications plus ridge and gable direction are important. Possibly also height specifications. Then one thing is the building plot, the other is the land. This is not named here at all, i.e., size, dimensions, and possibilities. Because if the land fits, you can also exceed the building plot. This must be considered individually by an architect and is not possible here due to ignorance of the land. There, even 20 cm make a big difference, which without these 20 cm would not be possible.


With 180 allowed sand-lime bricks, you don't have to talk about roof slope anymore. That is standing height.

What rules? Without a questionnaire you don’t know the questioner and their needs and therefore no design is possible.
Whether you get answers or help here depends on the individuals who want to contribute but also can only as much.
This is not an association, nor does anyone get paid here.

I do give this advice frequently, but not to people with particularly atypical, narrow building windows. In your specific case, you simply cannot find anything there, because: manufacturers prefer to fill their catalogs with building proposals that can appeal to a large audience for sufficient quantities. Even in Hanseatic or Dutch merchant towns you will find models only for this aspect ratio, but not for these absolute dimensions.

Your building window format hardly occurs freestanding. If you may not go below 45° roof pitch, it will indeed be difficult to avoid a full storey by exploiting the knee wall height of 1.8 meters; yes, that makes the renunciation of "dormers" understandable. The near guarantee of an empty solution set, however, I see primarily in your requirement to have more rooms upstairs than downstairs simultaneously.

Where does this highly unusual combination of restrictions come from: is your plot affected by inherited setback areas? – just name (without link!) the development plan! ("Posemuckel No. 123 The hopeless endeavor").

Is the property on a slope?
Are there reference heights?
Is the DN really fixed at 45 degrees?
How is the knee wall defined?

Because if there is a clear height of at least 2.3 m over more than 3/4 of the underlying floor area, then it becomes two-story. Which should be the case at 45 degrees and a 1.85 m knee wall.

Then you cannot fully utilize the knee wall?

Without the specific development plan, there is little to say here.

The proposal from is already going in the right direction. About 150m2. One room too many.

Well, well I tend - said again - towards a capable architect who knows the building authority. If necessary, 160 on the knee wall will do to get a dormer.
