ᐅ Floor plan of a standard house, eaves-facing on the short side

Hello!

I'll be brief:
We are looking for a 1.5-story standard house with the gable end facing the short side, to get some floor plan inspiration, but we haven't found anything suitable online. Does anyone know of any examples?

Specifications:
 • 9.5 m x 13 m (31 ft x 43 ft) building area
 • 1 full story
 • Gable roof with a pitch between 32° and 42°

Unfortunately, the requirement is to have the eaves on the short side.

Our needs:
 • 3 children's bedrooms
 • 1 master bedroom
 • 1 office
 • Utility room and technical room (no basement)

If the eaves faced the long side, it would be easy to meet all these requirements. However, there doesn’t seem to be any “off-the-shelf” house plans rotated by 90 degrees.

We are likely to build with an architect but would like to at least look at standard house plans first.

Thank you!

Haha, that was a good joke. You have a newly developed zoning plan in a new housing development. That applies.

Yes – I also consider that extremely unlikely. We will have a construction consultation with the building authority (which is offered here). I think that will be helpful in many ways.

Which east-facing plot? You’re expecting a bit much from a user here when you suddenly come up with options that were never mentioned in the initial thread.

I hope there isn’t a third thread?!
You can continue to use this thread after a break as well.

I understand the confusion. And no: there are only two threads – and depending on the plot and timing, I will definitely continue the threads here.

You just have to weigh how important underground space is. A 9.50m (31 feet) wide house and a wider plot seems very attractive to me.

Oh yes. The larger plot is much more appealing – and it can’t be built on to the west. Whether it will be available wasn’t clear at the time of the previous thread, but now it is definite. Unfortunately, it is also more expensive.

Exactly. €3000 per square meter (about $280 per square foot), you won’t avoid that anyway. Everything else is interchangeable and not really necessary to know.

Yes. We are now even calculating with €3500 per square meter (about $325 per square foot) – our previous discussions were helpful for that.

Focus on the plot, sketch it out, and if needed ask here. Then things will become clearer.

Point taken. We will do that.

@trose69 ... you misquoted ... these are actually all quotes from @ypg.

Oops – sorry, @ypg & @kbt09. Indeed – I copied the wrong source header in the nested quote.

[ / ] Basically, as I said, my original question was: Are there standard/promotional houses for such a plot/requirements?

Examples were already mentioned in the first thread https://www.hausbau-forum.de/threads/grundstueck-geeignet-fuer-schmales-haus-fuer-5-personen.48156/, and I can’t really think of any of my answers there that wouldn’t also apply here. No, there are no promotional houses in the “terraced/semi-detached” category. And yes, there are many standard house types for this, (I believe I already mentioned the usual sources). Now we are looking at a 9.5 x 13 m (31 x 43 feet) building envelope, under otherwise the same conditions as the previous 7 x 12 m (23 x 39 feet) building envelope. So any restrictions mentioned earlier are somewhat relaxed or no longer apply.

One example (among many) would be: Gruber Holzhaus, Clever house, size L. (This is only about the floor plan and type – not the general contractor).
Would such a floor plan with three children’s bedrooms on the long side be feasible with the gable rotated about 90°, the same knee wall height, and roof pitch? Would changing the gable orientation eliminate the (supposed) cost advantages of a standard house?

The Clever L fits fully within the building envelope of 9.5 x 13 m (31 x 43 feet) with its dimensions of 9 x 12.6 m (30 x 41 feet). Its knee wall upstairs is essentially full height with a 0° roof pitch (floor ceiling), which makes it a two-story building. Its staircase location suits a terraced house, positioned in the middle third of the building depth. Despite the “lower than full height knee wall,” headroom at the stair exit should be adequate. It might get tight for the bedrooms, children’s rooms 1 and 3, and definitely for the shower if you wanted to use the floor plan as inspiration. The cost advantages of a “standard house, but not from that provider” in this scenario are inevitably zero.

Point taken. Let’s do that.

And let your wife plan as well – usually, those asking questions here tend to be more rational, while the creative part of the partnership often relies on this without realizing what skills lie within them.
