ᐅ City villa living and dining area of 43 m² too small

Hello everyone,
the basement of my house is now completed. For several days, I have been thinking about how to arrange the furniture and plan the kitchen. I am worried that 43m2 (460 sq ft) might be too small.
Our architect’s plan does not include any furniture, so I took the time to create some layouts using Sweet Home 3D.

Questions:
- What do you think about 43m2 (460 sq ft)?
- Which layout do you like the most?
- What would you do differently?

THANKS for your opinions.

Please post the architect’s plan. I wonder how someone can only come around to such a basic question once the basement is already built.
43m² (463 sq ft) is indeed not very spacious, especially in a narrow layout with an entrance in the middle.

Hi,
oh, that’s almost exactly the same as my situation (https://www.hausbau-forum.de/threads/lage-Stadtvilla-oder-efh-auf-500-m2-rechteck.33505/post-409926), just mirrored or rotated.
You have a bit more depth in your space, while I have more width.
We are now planning with an L-shaped kitchen and a large dining table in the middle. I will try to push it as far as possible toward the kitchen without causing obstruction, so that the passage from the living room door to the terrace door remains reasonably free of any awkward maneuvers.
It is important to carefully coordinate the opening directions of the terrace windows with the walkways and furniture placement...

Take accurate measurements for the table.
Option 1 and 3 don’t work. Option 2 might be possible.

The minimum depth is 80 cm (31.5 inches)
Wall to table edge
For example, if the table is 90 cm (35.5 inches) wide, you need 250 cm (98.5 inches). This means no one can pass a occupied chair without squeezing or holding in their stomach.

Please upload the entire floor plan.
43 sq m (463 sq ft) is quite small.

Your table is 70cm (28 inches) wide, if I haven't miscounted. I wouldn’t go below 85cm (33 inches) at all. A width of 75cm (30 inches) for a sofa is also risky. You’re more likely to fall off. Ours is about 95cm (37 inches).

The kitchen should have at least two tall cabinets for the refrigerator and oven.

I would continue planning with OPTION 2. The seating island seems unnecessary anyway.

I can only fault you for approaching the house-building process completely unplanned.

Show me the rest to see if anything still needs fixing.
