ᐅ Floor Plan Design for a Two-Family House

@kbt09 Terrace and balcony roughly drawn without scale.
The patio doors have not been planned yet.

The balcony and terrace will be moved to the southwest side, wrapping around to the northwest side. This provides significantly more space. The balcony will also serve as a roof for the terrace. Since the land slopes slightly toward the east and the basement is exposed on the east side, I am planning a basement door there so that bicycles and other items can be brought directly into the basement without using the stairwell.

It's not really enjoyable to try to figure anything out here. The drawings from post 27 also don’t seem to be fully oriented to north, and there is no visible external basement access; likewise, according to the interim description near the entrance, there should be some kind of stair landing.

When arranging the parking spaces, the options for electric vehicle charging should also be taken into consideration.

And I still doubt that it’s all doable within 800,000–850,000.

There is quite a bit of patchwork going on here.

That’s what I meant in my post as well. This would be my approach if I had basically bought an existing house and wanted to refresh the apartment with limited effort. For a new build, I would plan everything properly from the start. As I already mentioned, you need ALL the information about the project and the residents for that.

You mean something like this?

Yes, that’s roughly what I had in mind as a general idea of how to lighten up the dark space, which ideally shouldn’t even have been designed like that. A guest toilet is a must for me.

The furniture doesn’t seem to be to scale either. How are you supposed to get onto the balcony currently without having to squeeze past the sofa? I already suggested starting a whole new thread with all the project and resident information. Sure, you can rearrange a bit here and there to smooth out some edges, but that won’t lead to a good result. The balcony must have planning permission / a building permit—so why isn’t it shown in the plans? And my earlier question remains: does every apartment get the same balcony in the same corner?

Here is a draft. House approx. 12 x 10 m (39 x 33 ft)

Here is the version with furniture included. The bedroom and children’s room are the same size as in your first draft. The living and dining area is even 4 m² (43 sq ft) larger. Although the house has been reduced from 150 m² (1,615 sq ft) to 120 m² (1,292 sq ft), in my opinion, the layout is more efficient.

Since I assume that at least one of the two apartments should be wheelchair accessible, the toilet should be planned inside the bathroom.
The pantry will be replaced by 3 additional tall cabinets. This works quite well since the kitchen is more than 0.6 m (2 feet) wider.
