Good morning,
we have now received the first draft of the interior layout for our single-family home from our planner, but we are not quite satisfied, as some of our requests were unfortunately not taken into account. Accordingly, we are disappointed because this will be a "life project" for us, and we feel somewhat let down.
It is a terraced house with a total area of 110m² (1,184 sq ft), divided into 2 floors of 55m² (592 sq ft) each. Additionally, there is a basement and an attic, although the attic cannot be used as living space.
In the basement, we want the kitchen and dining area on the south side, the living room further back, which can be closed off with a sliding door to create a potential retreat space. There should also be a small storage room for food and miscellaneous items as well as a guest toilet.
On the upper floor, there is a master bedroom of about 16m² (172 sq ft) with direct access to a large bathroom, two children's bedrooms, and a separate small bathroom.
In my opinion, shifting the staircase might be a good idea, but since we are not experts, we have fully relied on our planner so far.
Another meeting with him will take place in the next few days, and perhaps you have suggestions and input that we could bring up concretely.
Thank you very much in advance!

Could you explain in more detail the legal requirements regarding the attic space? This must be clearly defined. Would it be possible to set up a play area for the children there? I would take a close look at that. The area should be useful for something. And from when can it be officially used as living space?
We live in a 100m2 (1,076 sq ft) terraced house. Everything works perfectly. But ours is spread over 3 levels, and our house has different external dimensions. We have a "large bathroom" which is still smaller than the second bathroom most people here have, and on each floor there is a toilet with a washbasin.
In tighter spaces, simple layouts without awkward corners and focusing on what is really necessary help. You cannot avoid compromises. But in return, you get a house you don’t have to clean endlessly, with lower energy costs, and that still fits your needs when the children have moved out. The attic may not be considered living space but only storage. No water pipes, underfloor heating, or similar installations are allowed there. To my knowledge, regular conversions are due after 15 or 25 years.
Start drawing yourself. Bring the floor plans to life. This is not the planner’s job.
Sofa, table, bookshelf, sound system, etc. How is he supposed to know about your shoe collection and the oversized bed?
Everyone here has moved furniture and walls around, everyone has made compromises.
It’s like trying to square the circle.

What is your couch/sofa/TV setup like? Is a casual sofa with wall shelves enough, or do you need a showpiece sofa with a side table?
I once had a row house with 116 sqm (1250 sq ft) plus a basement, but no attic. It wasn’t cramped downstairs at all. A casual sofa is absolutely enough for us 😉

Yes, this is a good opportunity to look at the Bauhaus style as a source of inspiration. Few styles have focused on the essentials as strongly as Bauhaus, with some of its key figures exploring the rational and functional use of space—such as the remarkable and often overlooked architect Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky. It can be said that the Bauhaus school laid an important foundation for what we today call “modern.” (Calling anything boxy with a flat roof “Bauhaus” is just as absurd as calling a station wagon “sporty” — pure marketing. I just couldn’t resist...) As much as I appreciate Bauhaus and especially Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky, the Bauhaus style can only be realized with a lot of space due to the amount of possessions people have today. This was also true in the past. The sleek style of the Villa Tugendhat is only possible because of the many utility rooms that visitors don’t see.
A hundred years ago—around the Bauhaus period—a typical household in Germany managed with about 180 items. Today, according to the Federal Statistical Office, Germans accumulate around 10,000 items inside their homes. For such small floor plans of less than 30 sqm (320 sq ft) per person, I would lean more toward American-style solutions and plan for built-in niches, wall cupboards, and room dividers. Especially the partitions between the bathroom and bedroom and between children’s rooms lend themselves to these solutions—instead of space-consuming walk-in closets, or rather dressing rooms. Design wardrobes so that you switch between winter and summer clothing, storing the off-season clothes in the attic.

Hausbautraum2026 Aug 2021 10:25So what is completely unclear to me personally:
- 2 balconies -> additional cost $20,000
- children’s bathroom + 4th toilet in the basement -> additional cost $15,000
- fireplace -> additional cost $15,000
- glazed corner window -> additional cost?
- triple underground garage -> additional cost????
....
This all sounds like a luxury home and includes things we didn’t even consider for 160m² (1,722 ft²) because they are too expensive.
But that doesn’t fit at all with the mandatory subsidy for the 110m² (1,184 ft²), or is there a subsidy of €50,000 or more for that?
In other words, why don’t you just give up the 110m² (1,184 ft²)?
