Hello everyone,
We are going to build an end-of-terrace house together with a general contractor and have, of course, already planned the floor plans and thought them through accordingly.
The plot measures 10 x 21m (33 x 69 ft), and as currently planned, the maximum available space has been used up, leaving us with enough room for the garden.
On the ground floor, the staircase will be closed off at the bottom and then used as additional storage for drinks or cleaning supplies. The utility connections will also be located in the cloakroom—my wife wanted a separate room so that shoes and jackets don’t always clutter the hallway.
From November, we will be four people, so we have decided to live together on one floor (the upper floor) with our two very small children, as it is simply more practical. A requirement for our master bedroom was the possibility to place a wardrobe 3m (10 ft) wide. However, we are still not completely satisfied with the layout of the upper floor, although we cannot think of any alternatives. The bathroom should stay the same size.
The attic will include a guest room, which will mainly serve as a playroom for the children and me. A large dormer will be added there. Later, one of the older children could move up there, and the two children's bedrooms on the upper floor would be combined into one large room. We both need a home office, so it is designed somewhat larger.
We intentionally moved the technical equipment to the attic because we are building without a basement, which would have meant placing it on the ground floor. That would have significantly reduced the available space there. We will also use this area for the washing machine and dryer, as well as an additional storage room.
Additionally, we will have a converted loft with a height of 1.36m (4 ft 6 in) as extra storage space.
I look forward to your suggestions.

Could you share the latest floor plan from the architect? I’m quite interested!
Best regardsAttached are the plans... a few minor details still need to be adjusted or clarified. Some windows still need to be moved to the right positions.
But overall, this is likely how it will look.

Oh, I see. Did nobody measure it before buying? I find that strange – but if it doesn’t bother you. We only had the basic plans and a protractor – so we probably didn’t measure properly.
Yeah, my 7m (23 feet) wide semi-detached house looks quite similar, overall efficient for the given space.
Is that one (small) window on the ground floor facing south really enough for you?
In winter, the kitchen might get a bit dark.
Storage space is really limited for you; a basement would be very valuable, but I guess that’s unfortunately not an option.
Is there an attic?
P.S. You should definitely plan a proper covered terrace with shading from the start.
Otherwise, you’ll basically have a sauna in the living area every afternoon in summer.

P.S. You should definitely plan a proper terrace roof including shading from the start.
Otherwise, it’ll feel like a sauna in the living area from midday onwards in summer. We did consider the window situation as well – however, it’s a floor-to-ceiling window. If we add one on the side in the kitchen, we’d lose space for wall cabinets. Still, the kitchen window is quite large, with a fixed lower section. We are still evaluating this.
The basement is a tricky topic. Not affordable. But we have planned an attic space about 1.37m (4.5 feet) high.
We haven’t planned a terrace roof yet – but the large 4m (13 feet) sliding door and the floor-to-ceiling window on the ground floor will both get roller blinds.
