Hello,
My girlfriend and I plan to convert the attic from my father-in-law. The stairs and connections are already in place. Insulation, windows, flooring, and walls still need to be done.
I’ve started working on a floor plan… actually 4-5, but this one seems to be the best.
The knee wall is planned at 1.20 meters (4 feet), with a roof pitch of 38 degrees, reaching 2 meters (6.5 feet) down from 1.10 meters (3.6 feet) height…
What do you think?
Is the benchmark of 1000 €/m² (93 USD/ft²) accurate for self-performed work? (Electrical, walls, laminate flooring, painting)
If you have this planned professionally, roughly how much would it cost?
A lot of questions and requests...
Thanks in advance

Yes, they should be.
There are other distances that are too narrow, for example in the hallway near the chimney. As Masipulami points out: in numbers... 40cm (16 inches) between two kitchen cabinets, which doesn’t even allow one cabinet door to open 😱 Try to let go of the current layout... the child belongs anyway in the bedroom corner, and a niche should be enough for a home office 🙂
Write down your wish list and room requirements, and take only these to an architect. They will then properly design the plan accordingly.
