ᐅ Single-family house floor plan 110 m² – Ground floor + Upper floor – First draft room layout

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!

The staircase design will probably not allow for a fixed attic ladder above the existing stairwell opening, as the sloping roof in the attic would reduce the necessary headroom. Unless the roof is quite steep, which is unlikely for a ridge roof (the roof pitch has been inquired about several times) Unfortunately, we do not yet know the roof pitch. The ceiling height at the ridge, oriented north-south, is about 2.40m (7 feet 10 inches), and at the sides there will probably be around 1m (3 feet 3 inches) left.ypg schrieb:

Swapping the stair layout works well too. At least it’s an alternative. I would swap the shower toilet and the cloakroom/wardrobe.
If you rotate the bed upstairs (head facing south), you can create a nice window on the east side 🙂Do you mean with the stair entrance on the north side?We would also like to swap the cloakroom with the guest toilet, shorten the wall by the cloakroom, and align it with the wall by the stairs. This would open up the entrance area a bit more.
Additionally, we would make the guest toilet a bit longer (shower, sink, toilet) and then move the living room slightly upwards to gain more space in the living/dining area.
What do you think?

What do you think? That could definitely gain you about 30–40cm (12–16 inches). I would detach the fireplace from the partition wall. This will create openness in the layout. Place the fireplace directly in front of the basement stairs, at least 1.20m (4 ft) away. Leave a gap between the chimney and the wall. This gives a more positive spatial effect.

I don’t quite understand the staircase part—the main ridge runs north-south, so the staircase should already come out relatively centered, right? Or am I misunderstanding something?
So you would make the stove freestanding with a visible flue pipe? Then you could even add a small bench near the stove 🙂

I don’t understand the issue with the staircase. The main roof ridge runs north-south, so the staircase should always end up roughly in the middle, right? Or am I mixing something up? Honestly? I asked several times about the type of roof, measurements, height, etc. At some point, the only information I received was “gable roof.” How exactly it is installed, I don’t know, and neither does anyone here except you. I prefer not to guess and instead assume a roof type that is used on about 80% of terraced houses here in Germany. Still, I have no idea what kind of roof you are actually getting. So at this point, I’m out of the loop.
In post #30, the original poster mentioned:
Question: What is the roof like? Is there a cross-section? Roof slopes down from east to west, ridge runs south to north.
Still, I wonder if the staircase in the attic will work. Shouldn’t it be too tight? I don’t remember the knee wall height, but I think there isn’t one?
