Hello everyone,
I will probably start building a house with my family in the spring, but unfortunately, the floor plan is quite a difficult matter. I never would have thought so. Above all, it no longer fits our ideas at all. We have about 100m2 (1,076 sq ft) of green strip on the property, which unfortunately cannot be counted towards the floor area ratio. That's a long story...
Plot size 585m2 (6,298 sq ft)
Floor area ratio 0.4
Site coverage ratio 0.2
So, we are only allowed to build about 95.26m2 (1,025 sq ft) of footprint on the ground floor. Overall, we might end up with around 150m2 (1,615 sq ft) of living space. And now here are my floor plans.
The kitchen is sometimes shown with an integrated table at the kitchen island and sometimes without. Thanks for your opinions and tips.

Ah, a site plan. Here it is again without the black borders, so you don’t need a magnifying glass:
Thank you, Katja.
Can anyone tell where north is? It’s too small for me, sorry. Johanna didn’t answer my question about orientation either...

North is at the top right. You can use the magnifying glass.Thanks
Take a look at the drawings in the first post... I asked for those! ...

We have a straight staircase, ground floor 110 sqm (1,184 sq ft) and upper floor 95 sqm (1,022 sq ft). We don’t really have any narrow spots.... But I guess you gave up on symmetry then?ypg schrieb:
I think what @11ant wrote was a bit generalized and applies mostly to townhouse designs.Generalized, yes, I admit that, and especially success is not entirely impossible with less floor area. But it’s not only for townhouse designs; the same problem occurs with inhabited pitched roof attics.
I mean the following effect: if on one floor it’s 20 cm (8 inches) too tight to the left of the staircase and on the other floor 60 cm (24 inches) too narrow to the right, you either accept these tight spots—or you need 80 cm (31 inches) more building width overall (times 12 m (39 ft) depth, so almost ten square meters (108 sq ft) extra per floor) just because of the symmetry dogma.
Even if the plot allows it—which usually it doesn’t—you have effectively paid for symmetry with about twenty extra square meters (215 sq ft). At roughly two thousand euros per square meter, that’s forty thousand euros added to the cost item “symmetry and straight staircase”; something everyone can be happy about, but not worth it to me—and for the average homeowner it’s already the price of the double garage and the terrace.

Just kiddingAfter having to wait about 30 seconds to confirm I am over 16 years old as required by the terms and conditions *LOL*, I took a look at the unlinked floor plan.
The "only 102" sqm (1097 sqft) of the ground floor result from the trick of not counting one of the two living rooms where the cars are parked. I don’t see a direct contradiction to my floor area argument in that.
