Hello everyone,
we are currently working on our floor plan and are starting to get a bit frustrated.
We have now had an optimal floor plan created for us.
We are very satisfied with everything except that the child II room feels too narrow.
The depth in the entrance area (child II) is about 2.5 m (8 feet 2 inches). The depth in the lower section is about 2.37 m (7 feet 9 inches). For comparison: child I is approximately 3.58 m by 5.0 m (11 feet 9 inches by 16 feet 5 inches).
According to our draftsman, this is due to the fact that, according to the current DIN standard, stairs must have a minimum tread depth of 260 mm (10 inches). This makes the staircase significantly longer than in the floor plans we previously reviewed.
Maybe someone here has a good idea on how to still improve this situation.
We appreciate any suggestions.

But the garage can only be up to 9m (30 feet) long and 3m (10 feet) high. And isn't it taller than 3m (10 feet) because of the roof? This refers to the wall height, meaning the "eaves" height.

Over the weekend, we gave a lot more thought to our floor plan. We would now like to keep the exterior dimensions at 10.5 m x 11.0 m (34 ft 5 in x 36 ft 1 in). We have revised the existing floor plan ourselves according to our preferences. We experimented a bit with different staircase designs and arrived at the attached result. The guest room has been removed (not strictly necessary), and the garage has been moved to the front (it could still be moved a little further forward). We are still somewhat uncertain about the ceiling span lengths here.

We spent the weekend giving a lot of thought to our floor plan. Me too, and I’m wondering: what are those Aztec demons at the entrance?

Sunshine3876 Feb 2023 14:23A bike shed or garden shed would be sufficient for the bicycles in my opinion, but you are still missing a room. And that with 180 m² (1,937 sq ft)? I wouldn’t compromise on that. Take a look at the Viebrockhaus Maxime 810 II. It’s a bit smaller than your house but has a much better layout with additional rooms. There is a good reason why standard house designs work well for the average homeowner. After all, not everyone has the architectural skills to create a floor plan themselves.
