Hello everyone,
I am planning a two-family house near Augsburg. There will be two apartments, each about 100 m² (1,076 sq ft), one above the other.
I have now received a rough plan from my draftsman. What do you think about the room layout? The plot is 600 m² (6,458 sq ft) and is longer than it is wide. The house will include a double garage and a basement. At the moment, I prefer option 1, although the missing second children’s bedroom (which could be a problem for renting) might be an issue. What do you think?
I will live in one apartment myself, and initially, my parents will live in the other. In the long term, it might be rented out.
I would appreciate any suggestions for improvement.
Regards,
Robert

The apartments are intended for rental. Potential tenants for a 110 m² (1184 ft²), 3-room apartment are quite limited at current prices in the Augsburg area (I estimate around €16+ per m² for new construction). These are DINKYs (Double Income, No Kids). However, DINKYs also want something special, not just “boring” apartments, and definitely not without a separate toilet. The floor plans are very similar to the two-family house my in-laws own, but each apartment there is only 78 m² (840 ft²), and the building was constructed in 1968.
Long story short – it might be worth considering a 4-room apartment. Or, if DINKYs are the target group, floor plans that offer more of a “wow” effect.

Or for risk diversification, if allowed, one 4-room and two 2-room apartments or similar. Such “small” rental buildings often have a relatively large garden on the ground floor. That’s great for a family (4 or 5-room apartment with 2 children’s bedrooms and a small study) and a different layout on the upper floor.

Why boring?Because the target group for such large apartments prefers features like:
- Walk-in closet
- Spa shower in the second bathroom
- Freestanding bathtub
- Partly covered terrace
rather than a 13m (43 feet) long narrow multipurpose room with cheaply separated storage space (which is very practical, as it often appears in many rental price indexes).

Why boring? Feel free to suggest alternative ideas on how to improve the design.But first, you need to provide a lot more information. You have already seen some of the questions. After all, we don’t have a crystal ball.Similar topics
