ᐅ Floor plan design, two full stories, approximately 130–140 square meters without a basement

Hello everyone,
We are planning to build a house on a 600 m2 (approximately 6,460 sq ft) plot with a west-facing approach (a dead-end street). Unfortunately, the garage can only be located on the west side (as shown in the picture).

I will soon discuss the preliminary design with the architect. According to the regulations in my country, the original project cannot be changed later on.

According to the zoning plan, we must build an enclosed garage (2 parking spaces per dwelling, with 50% of them in an enclosed garage). This increases our construction costs, so we have to reduce the “ideal” size of 150 m2 (approximately 1,615 sq ft) by about 10-15 m2 (approximately 110-160 sq ft) and, of course, without a basement.

I have read many forums and found that the most important thing is that the living and dining rooms are not narrower than 4 meters (approximately 13 feet) and have at least 35 m2 (approximately 375 sq ft). We will spend 90% of our time there and in the kitchen.

We want an open kitchen facing east with as much natural light as possible (preferably in a two-row layout). We want the utility room to be at least 10 m2 (approximately 108 sq ft), the stairs to be as comfortable as possible without taking up too much space, and a guest toilet without a shower. In front of it, there would be a wardrobe (for an Ikea PAX depth 70 cm (27.5 inches)).

Upstairs, we would like natural light in the hallway, two children's rooms of about 13-14 m2 each (approximately 140-150 sq ft), facing south, and a bedroom facing northeast, where we need to place my wife’s Ikea PAX wardrobe measuring 200x70x240 cm (79x27.5x94 inches). In the bedroom, my wardrobe should also be placed, but it can be smaller than my wife’s.

I would like to build two full floors in a rectangular shape with a gabled roof, similar to Jaydee’s floor plan attached (of similar width and length), although her plan is not two full floors.

My wife would like two bathrooms or a guest WC with a shower. I’m assuring her that one bathroom with two sinks will be enough.

I apologize for my poor German. I have been following your forum for months and have learned a lot. Thank you for any help.

I find the upper floor terrible.
The staircase could use an extra step.
Take a look at the Medley 3.0 100 by Fingerhaus.

Thank you. Yes, the upper floor will be completely redesigned.

With your "architect," I see even the smallest change turning directly into a disaster :-(

So I'm trying to avoid a disaster here. :p
The medley looks fine. Utility room on the other side.
Would a medley fit in a kitchen like this? (of course without so much light) 🙁
How many square meters would that be with 2 full floors?

Open kitchen with white island and wooden cabinets; dining table with brown chairs in front of window wall.

Don’t worry, I’m careful. As soon as he opens the laptop, I’ll pull up the finished German floor plans 😎

With your brilliant planner, you can be grateful for any similarity to what it was actually supposed to become – unfortunately, you’ll have to accept the fact that the kitchen might not end up looking like the photo.
The square meters of the upper floor will be the same as on the ground floor.

Does anyone know the room sizes for the Medley 3.0 100? How wide is the living room? Is it possible to slightly enlarge the dining and living areas while reducing the stairs, WC, and wardrobe? Or to increase the overall house size by a few square meters so that the combined dining-living area is at least 35 sqm (375 sq ft) or at least 3.8–4 m (12.5–13 ft) wide?

I found a similar example of the ground floor from someone in this forum (in gross square meters).
I was thinking about narrowing the hallway, enlarging the stairs, living room, and utility room, and increasing the dining-living area to 3.8 m (12.5 ft)
(to get as close as possible to the “magic” 35 sqm (375 sq ft) threshold).
Thank you very much
Thanks
