Hello,
we are currently looking for ideas for a practical floor plan, but it’s not that easy.
We have already visited show homes, but so far nothing has really convinced us 100%.

Maybe you have some rough ideas on how to achieve the following:

- The plot is about 740 sqm (8,000 sq ft). It is 32 m (105 ft) long and 25 m (82 ft) wide on one side and 22 m (72 ft) on the other.
- We are only allowed to build 1.5 stories. Two stories are possible if we comply with a ridge height of 4.5 m (15 ft), an overall height of 9 m (30 ft), and a roof pitch between 30 and 45 degrees. (Although I’m not sure how to build two full stories under these conditions!?)
- Hip roofs, gable roofs, half-hip roofs, and shed roofs are permitted.

Our minimum room size requirements are as follows.

Ground floor:
- Utility room – 10 sqm (108 sq ft)
- Storage room – 8 sqm (86 sq ft)
- Study/guest room – 15 sqm (161 sq ft)
- Shower/WC bathroom – 4 sqm (43 sq ft)
- Kitchen (possibly with pantry) – 10 sqm (108 sq ft)
- Living/dining area – fairly open plan
- Entrance hall – fairly open plan

Upper floor:
- Bedroom – 15 sqm (161 sq ft)
- Walk-in closet – 9 sqm (97 sq ft)
- Bathroom 1 – 12 sqm (129 sq ft)
- Bathroom 2 – 4 sqm (43 sq ft)
- Children’s room 1 – 17 sqm (183 sq ft)
- Children’s room 2 – 17 sqm (183 sq ft)
- Landing – fairly open plan

We would also be open to having the master bedroom with a large bathroom on the ground floor, although this is probably even more difficult to realize.

Do you have any ideas on how something like this could be designed?

And now someone is supposed to draw a floor plan with these requirements? Then an architect is exactly the right contact person for you.

Maybe someone had exactly the same ideas for their house and still has the floor plans or something similar on hand.
It's definitely possible.

I am already aware that there is no way around the architect. 😉

@emer: Did the OP mention even once that they expect us to draw a floor plan for them based on the information provided??? I don’t understand your response.

@aytex:
Although it wasn’t explicitly asked, what else could one respond with?

@RS: how about trying a search on Google or similar? You can really find everything there. That way, you can already see what you like.
Even if someone had the same requirements as you, the house may not necessarily fit your plot or be suitable for you.

Good luck milkie

I think "rough ideas" already imply creating a floor plan.

I would suggest looking at the websites of prefabricated house manufacturers, as they usually provide plenty of material and can be adapted if needed.
