ᐅ Single-Family Home Floor Plan Design, 130-140 m²

Brr. How creepy. Your children will probably have nightmares from that long, narrow entrance hallway.

There are no dimensions given except for the 9.5 x 9.5 mentioned in the text.
Still, I’ll boldly ask where all the jackets, winter coats, shoes, and bags of a family of four are supposed to be stored when coming home? And please don’t say in the utility room, because that room is already overflowing with laundry piles and all the building services equipment.

Aside from that, it’s quite pointless to even try to improve the missing wardrobe box if that doesn't solve the problem. In my opinion, the staircase on the ground floor should be on the right side of the hallway. Whether you mirror it upstairs or the dog howls would need to be seen. But as it is now, it just gives me a headache.

Personally, I would prefer to orient my living spaces towards the sun. Northeast is rather unfavorable in that regard. Are there any reasons why you didn’t do this, for example, the view or privacy?

Here is a small example of how a 9.5 x 9.5 meter (31 x 31 feet) house with a quarter-turn staircase could look.

Here is my parents’ house. It has a full basement, which is why you won’t find a storage room. Don’t hold me to the scale; it’s about the layout.

One thing I have learned by now: Keep the floor plan as simple as possible at the beginning. Niches and such can be added later once you have a solid basic structure.

Also, with this small size, you have to give up some conveniences. For example, with two children’s bedrooms, there won’t be a walk-in closet. The office is also a luxury that probably won’t work without sacrificing a lot of storage space.

I recently saw a floor plan measuring 950x950 that I quite liked. It feels a bit old-fashioned. It looked something like this (with some artistic license on my part):

However, there is no office included, and the walk-in closet was sacrificed in favor of the children’s rooms. Ultimately, it doesn’t matter whether you call it an office or a cloakroom. You need that space, and if you don’t plan for it, your office will inevitably become that space.

Nice layout @kaho674. You could remove the wall between the kitchen and the living-dining area. I would rotate the roof by 90 degrees and extend the stairs up to the attic, creating a small office space there. The attic could be finished as a DIY project to help reduce the budget. Additional storage space could be created under the stairs on the ground floor.
