Hello to all forum readers,

I have a question for those of you experienced in house construction and floor plan design. Is it possible to fit two residential units on a footprint of 185 sqm (building area approx. 9 m x 20 m (30 ft x 66 ft))? How many square meters are typically lost to walls and staircases?

I have done some preliminary calculations using guideline values and created a rough floor plan. I came to the conclusion that it will be very tight if comfortable room sizes are desired. For this reason, I would really like to hear the assessment of someone with experience.

The goal is to build a 2-room apartment and a 3-room apartment with a balcony or terrace on each floor. The multi-family house is planned to have a total of 6 units (2 full floors plus attic).

Do you think it is feasible to build approximately 78 sqm (840 ft²) and 65 sqm (700 ft²) on one level within a floor area ratio of 185 sqm?

Best regards,
Karl

Is space allocated for a playground?

When reading, it says here that each residential unit is about 45 square meters (484 square feet)...

I see 45 sqm (484 sq ft) per floor (ground floor and upper floor) of the semi-detached house, so 90 sqm (968 sq ft) per semi-detached unit 😉

Yes, 45 square meters (484 square feet) of floor space. Sorry, I mentioned it correctly in the first post, then got it wrong.

Are you familiar with the requirements for a multi-family house in Hesse?

Here in Baden-Württemberg, in my city, this would mean 10 car parking spaces, 12 covered bicycle parking spaces close to the entrance, a storage room in each apartment, space for laundry drying in each apartment, at least one floor accessible for people with disabilities/wheelchair users (so in your case, 2 apartments), and then a space/room of 6sqm (65 sq ft) at the entrance area for walkers/strollers......
