We are currently considering building a single-family home with 4-5 children's rooms and are looking for well-thought-out floor plans. Unfortunately, we have not yet found any floor plans that meet our wishes, building regulations, and budget all at once.
We are grateful for any tips and also welcome advice regarding individual rooms.
Development Plan / Restrictions
Plot size 2,000 sqm (0.5 acres)
No slope
Building area approximately 14x14 meters (46x46 feet), plus garage possible
Number of parking spaces 2
Number of floors 1 full floor
Roof type gable roof
Builder’s Requirements
Style, roof shape, building type
Frisian house, country house, single-family home, gable roof
Basement, floors no basement, 1 full floor or 1.5 floors
Number of occupants, ages 6 people: 48, 38, 7, 5, 3, 0
Space requirement ground floor, upper floor? Possibly 220 sqm (2,368 sq ft)
Office: family use or home office both, one study on the ground floor would be great
Guest stays per year rarely overnight guests
Open or closed layout open
Open kitchen, kitchen island open kitchen
Number of dining seats 8
Fireplace no
Music/sound wall no
Balcony, roof terrace no
Garage, carport double garage with storage room
Utility garden, greenhouse no
Additional wishes/special features/daily routine
We might need an additional children's room. Therefore, a guest room should be able to be converted into a children’s room if needed.
Two shower bathrooms plus a guest toilet would be desirable.
Since we plan to build without a basement for cost reasons, there should be a pantry next to the kitchen. The utility room (HWT) must not be too small; we have two washing machines plus a dryer. We have two very large beds that ideally should be in one shared bedroom (3.25 m and 2 m) (10.7 ft and 6.6 ft). The entrance area must have space for a bench, shoes, and coats for 6-7 people.
Financially probably not feasible anymore, but a "children’s living room" and a covered terrace would be great.
We were offered a plot of land at very short notice, which is really a stroke of luck in the current times. As you can probably tell, we have not dealt with the topic of new construction at all so far and unfortunately now have to decide very quickly whether this project is feasible for us.
About the finances:
The plot costs 210,000 plus acquisition incidental costs.
For additional costs for the house including incidental construction costs, outdoor facilities, etc., in other words really "all-in," we can afford/finance a maximum of 610,000. The plot is fully developed.
We are now looking for a smart floor plan that will enable us to build a new house within our means.

The floor plan we quite liked was from Hanse Haus, the Variant 35 - 235 model. It comes in four versions, and I still need to decide which one suits us better or worse for specific reasons. None at all. Take a look at your requirements in the opening post. In which room are the beds supposed to be placed?
I think you need to think more flexibly.
Ground floor: now open-plan living area, storage room, toilet, office, guest room, small bathroom, large wardrobe. Later separated into living room, kitchen-living area, toilet, storage room, office, parents’ bedroom, parents’ bathroom, large wardrobe.
First floor: 2 children’s bedrooms, utility room, 1 bathroom, large bedroom for now; later it will become 2 children’s bedrooms.
Attic: playroom, guest sleeping area, building services.

First floor: 2 children’s rooms, utility room, 1 bathroom, large bedroom that can later be converted into 2 children’s rooms.
Attic: playroom, guest sleeping area, building services. That’s why I wouldn’t build with solid construction – wooden houses are more flexible to modify.
A clinker brick facade is a great choice – every wish list also needs a candidate for the painless cost-cutting approach. I don’t believe a Frisian house is suitable, as I most likely see the solution in the form of a two-family house (with two identical apartments stacked, one having just a pre-installed kitchen, for example as a work or guest space, and the other splitting the living room into a children’s room). One-and-a-half stories as a base (with extended gables forming a “town villa”) is probably not an option because that doesn’t fit well with the floor plan layout, even though the total area calculation might seem reasonable.
Point 204: unfortunately, the staircase’s shape and position prevent filling the open space with a room; at Point 196, this works better. Playroom: be prepared that this will take place in the open-plan living room area. In my opinion, the particular challenge lies in the short age gap between the children. I currently don’t see the option of placing the master bedroom on a different level as feasible. I don’t believe you can commit to a specific construction method without risking the market offer becoming nonexistent – it’s already quite limited.
