ᐅ Convert a Single-Family Home into an Urban Villa?

Hello again,

We have an appointment with a home builder next week. So right now, we are deeply involved in planning to be able to present as clear ideas as possible next week.
We went through all the floor plans on the company’s website, and actually only one fits our needs. The problem is: it’s designed as a single-family house, but we would prefer a town villa. The floor plan itself is almost square, so it could work well with the town villa style.
Now to my question: Would a builder be willing to adapt this floor plan for a town villa? Of course, the upper floor would need to be higher and a hip roof instead of a gable roof would be required. We understand this would involve additional cost. But in theory, it would still be more cost-effective than starting with a town villa floor plan that we would have to change a lot until it matches the one we like.
What do you think? Do builders do such adjustments? If not, we will look for other plans today and tomorrow, so that’s why I’m asking here.

Best regards!

Understood, thank you!

I’m missing the floor plans of the urban villas.

Below the images, there is a dot to scroll to the second page of the gallery, where the floor plans are. I didn’t notice that immediately either.

The price for the Modena would increase anyway because we don’t like the floor plan as it is and would make changes. That’s why I expect that even with adding an extra floor to the upper level, we might still end up with a slightly better price.

You are not supposed to choose the Modena, but just keep in mind that the Coburg, built up into an "urban villa," will be priced somewhat above the Modena. You want to turn a 69 sqm (740 sq ft) attic into a 74 sqm (797 sq ft) upper floor. In total, this results in a 148 sqm (1,594 sq ft) "urban villa." This will probably cost more than the 146 sqm (1,571 sq ft) "urban villa" model, which is the Modena for this provider. So expect a price slightly above that of the Modena, but still below the more elaborately built and 154 sqm (1,658 sq ft) Florenz.

We have found another plot in the same new residential area. I can’t name the model, as the house was custom designed.
Custom designed sounds good – that probably means opting for a “townhouse” right away instead of converting a “country house,” doesn’t it? ;-)
