Hello,
we originally planned to build with a basement, but unfortunately that now seems unlikely due to the soil conditions. We simply need storage space. We tend to collect things and don’t like to throw things away. Having a house won’t suddenly change that, I want to be honest with myself.
Where do you store items that don’t fit in the utility closet?
What interesting storage options do you have besides the usual utility room, which is already half taken up by technical installations and the washing machine and where you don’t really want to store clutter, and the attic? Where do you keep your hobby workshop?
What are your solutions?
I would be very happy to get some suggestions, maybe even with plans or pictures.
Edit:
We are building with a shed roof and therefore have no attic.
We will not have a garage or carport.

Thank you! But this is the attic space of a gable roof, or is it in a staggered shed roof? That’s not quite clear to me right now. Or is the staggered shed where “floor” is marked on the left? Hmm
Best regards, Bauexperte
Hello,
I find children’s rooms of about 12 square meters (130 square feet) far too small. This is one reason why we are building a new house. Our two children’s rooms are also this size. Once you have a bed and a wardrobe in there, there is hardly any space left for playing, for example with a train set or similar toys. My daughter has a loft bed, but even that doesn’t help.
Our future children’s rooms will be around 20 square meters (215 square feet). Children also need their own space and privacy, although we only need two rooms since we don’t plan to have more children.
Regards, Simone

In the current draft, given the number of children’s rooms desired, there was no other way to handle it. On one hand, it was limited by the building plot and, last but not least, by the budget. If there were “only” two children to accommodate, each children’s room upstairs would have a comfortable 18 sqm (195 sq ft) available.

Weimy schrieb:In the first point, I definitely agree with you; on the other hand, 20 sqm (215 sq ft) personally seems too much for me—especially since children usually stay in their rooms only for a limited and relatively short time. Later on, everything else is more interesting, except their own room… where parents have control at any time, among other things.
