We are currently considering building a single-family home with 4-5 children's rooms and are looking for well-thought-out floor plans. Unfortunately, we have not yet found any floor plans that meet our wishes, building regulations, and budget all at once.
We are grateful for any tips and also welcome advice regarding individual rooms.
Development Plan / Restrictions
Plot size 2,000 sqm (0.5 acres)
No slope
Building area approximately 14x14 meters (46x46 feet), plus garage possible
Number of parking spaces 2
Number of floors 1 full floor
Roof type gable roof
Builder’s Requirements
Style, roof shape, building type
Frisian house, country house, single-family home, gable roof
Basement, floors no basement, 1 full floor or 1.5 floors
Number of occupants, ages 6 people: 48, 38, 7, 5, 3, 0
Space requirement ground floor, upper floor? Possibly 220 sqm (2,368 sq ft)
Office: family use or home office both, one study on the ground floor would be great
Guest stays per year rarely overnight guests
Open or closed layout open
Open kitchen, kitchen island open kitchen
Number of dining seats 8
Fireplace no
Music/sound wall no
Balcony, roof terrace no
Garage, carport double garage with storage room
Utility garden, greenhouse no
Additional wishes/special features/daily routine
We might need an additional children's room. Therefore, a guest room should be able to be converted into a children’s room if needed.
Two shower bathrooms plus a guest toilet would be desirable.
Since we plan to build without a basement for cost reasons, there should be a pantry next to the kitchen. The utility room (HWT) must not be too small; we have two washing machines plus a dryer. We have two very large beds that ideally should be in one shared bedroom (3.25 m and 2 m) (10.7 ft and 6.6 ft). The entrance area must have space for a bench, shoes, and coats for 6-7 people.
Financially probably not feasible anymore, but a "children’s living room" and a covered terrace would be great.
We were offered a plot of land at very short notice, which is really a stroke of luck in the current times. As you can probably tell, we have not dealt with the topic of new construction at all so far and unfortunately now have to decide very quickly whether this project is feasible for us.
About the finances:
The plot costs 210,000 plus acquisition incidental costs.
For additional costs for the house including incidental construction costs, outdoor facilities, etc., in other words really "all-in," we can afford/finance a maximum of 610,000. The plot is fully developed.
We are now looking for a smart floor plan that will enable us to build a new house within our means.

has a separate playhouse for 2 kids,
mini apartments with a kitchenette and bathroom,
which would certainly be more affordable as an extension or separate unit than a new build, allowing you to continue using your main houseBut I think the "kids" were already seventeen.https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

Please also check in parallel how high your attic will be. You don’t want it to be just a storage space without enough standing height. For the new build, if necessary, upload the zoning plan here. There are some members who can work wonders with it.Since the attic is part of the discussion here, I’d like to join in briefly. We are currently also considering whether converting the cold roof/attic space makes sense or if it could be used as an office. Attached is a cross-section of the attic for your assessment. We are building a traditional single-family house measuring 10.6 x 9.2 m (34.8 x 30.2 ft), and in the middle of the attic there would be a standing height of about 2.1–2.2 m (6 ft 11 in – 7 ft 3 in). What do you think?

WilderSueden28 Jan 2022 22:362m (6 ft 6 in) is not very much, and the roof will be installed quite soon. The question is also how to access the attic at all. If it is going to be used regularly, a proper staircase is needed, which must be accommodated somewhere in the floor below. Without knowing the rest of the floor plan... generally, probably not.

Since the discussion here partly concerns the attic, I’d like to briefly join in. We are currently considering whether finishing the cold roof/attic makes sense, or if this space could be used as an office. Attached is a section of the attic for your assessment. We are building a traditional single-family house measuring 10.6x9.2m (35x30 feet), and in the middle of the attic there would be a standing height of about 2.1-2.2m (6 ft 11 in–7 ft 3 in). What do you think? How wide is the attic at the top? Our house will have similar dimensions, and we are planning to insulate the attic because my grandmother had an identical attic (2.1m (6 ft 11 in) high, floor area about 4.2m (14 ft) wide) and it was very usable! When my mother was a child, two families with three kids each lived in that 150 sqm (1,615 sq ft) house, and two of the boys shared half of the attic until they were 15 and 17 years old. Of course, it doesn’t meet today’s living standards, but it is still very usable (office, playroom, guest nook). In our case, the view is also amazing. However, you definitely need a proper fixed staircase. Somewhere in the forum there is a thread about the terraced house that is being renovated; I really like that attic!N
Nice-Nofret29 Jan 2022 08:41Especially in a large family, children can share a room – they are used to sleeping together anyway because of the family beds. With three children’s rooms, you should be fine. Who shares a room with whom can certainly change over the years.
