ᐅ Floor Plan for an Urban Villa with a Gable Roof, 140 m²

Created on: 19 Jun 2021 13:24

Hello everyone,

I have been a silent reader for some time now, and we are currently planning our floor plan. I would appreciate hearing your opinions on it.

In my view, it is a standard design with a few small special features. We really like it so far and would implement it as it is currently planned.

Maybe you will notice something that is particularly poorly designed.

Thank you very much!!

Yes, but coming home with three people and immediately putting down coats is not always easy.

It’s not ideal. But it’s also not a hallway in a Parisian Haussmann apartment 😀

Hmm, okay, I agree with some points but not all. Often, the staircase is right at the entrance. Some people dislike it, others don’t—it’s a matter of personal taste, I think. The staircase in the passage to the bathroom is barely there anymore, or rather, it continues up to the upper floor. We’ve seen that several times and it doesn’t bother us either. Is a floorboard width of 1.2m (4 feet) too narrow? Storage space isn’t really visible on the floor plan, correct, but as you said, the attic serves that purpose. Additionally, the office is used partly for storage since it’s basically designed to hold just a desk and a bookshelf. One or two cabinets will be added there for storing items. In the utility room, a cupboard for small things will be placed behind the door. At the moment, we don’t have more storage options and that’s completely sufficient for us 🙂

The distance from the wall to the stool is 1.2m (4 feet). Just so you can get an idea of the space.

Otherwise, your design doesn’t include any storage. The cold roof space practically doesn’t count, unless you use it like Karsten does.

Hmm, okay, when I skim through all the comments, almost nothing seems optimal. The staircase is not, the bathroom is not, the wardrobe is not, the utility room is not. Unfortunately, we only have 70 m² (750 sq ft) per floor. We need to try to make the most of that. I would appreciate suggestions for an optimal floor plan and would be very interested to see how this could be ideally solved. Currently, we live in a rental house (120 m² (1,290 sq ft)). So I have a good idea of what is needed. The extended garage also serves for tools and such.

The classic recommendation for a starting floor plan is to base it on proven standard models—at least for a family with two children and a plot suitable for a slab foundation; otherwise, the specific "special requirements" need to be considered when searching.

I just researched floor plans for a 140sqm (1,507 sq ft) city villa, and at least half of them have the staircase right at the entrance :/ Here is a floor plan from a well-known prefab house manufacturer. In my opinion, the two don’t differ significantly.....

Floor plan of a house: kitchen, dining/living area, hallway, staircase, WC, utilities.

Upper floor plan with master bedroom, two rooms, bathroom, landing, and staircase.

Any suggestions for an optimal floor plan are welcome,

Sorry, there is no single optimal floor plan. If you have carefully read your thread here, you will have found some tips on how to optimize things. Usually, not everything can be done.
So read through it again slowly while looking at your plan.
Has there already been a site plan? Or how is the obligation to provide information handled? 😎
