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.

True, "wishes" sounds better.
Still, there are things that are different with 6 people compared to 3 or 4. Especially when toddlers turn into hungry teenagers.
It feels like my entire weekly grocery shop ends up on the table. I know that feeling with our 4 children.
And shopping carts and checkout belts aren’t really designed for a weekly grocery shop for 6 people either...

@Jule0908 As an idea, maybe something like this:
Ground floor: open living area, office, storage space under the stairs, and entrance hall with a small shower room.
Upper floor: 4 bedrooms, bathroom, and storage room
Attic: master bedroom

@SoL Unfortunately, I only have one child. Things regularly explode in our house, and you really notice how different it is with 4-5 children.
The spacious entrance becomes a bottleneck, and one bathroom per floor is often not enough.
My largest pots are just enough, and I need two ovens; otherwise, there's no way to manage fries and fish sticks. The dishwasher runs after every meal. Apples are only eaten unpeeled now. Are you smiling yet? My friend often says, "Typical only-child mom." My mother just handles it. When the whole gang (they are neighbors) comes over, they don’t enter through the front door but go through the terrace into the dining room. The little ones sit on the stove bench, and that frees up space. Afterward, of course, the cleaning cloth has to be used.

blubbernase28 Jan 2022 10:21@Jule0908 we are currently planning a single-family house with 3 children's bedrooms, 2 offices, and three bathrooms/WC. Even though most people here just look at floor plan posts for entertainment, you can take a look at ours if you want.

Even if the floor plan experts here only look at our layout for fun, you can take a look at it. You are mainly planning with a full basement. What is the purpose of the floor plan?
