Hello,
we are currently planning a two-family house with one apartment on the ground floor and one apartment in the attic.
What do you think of our design?
Our thoughts were as follows:
- rectangular house with a pitched roof and two full floors
- plot only 20 meters (66 feet) wide, double garage must fit next to it (approx. 6 x 7 m (20 x 23 feet))
- house dimensions 9.5 m x 13 m (31 x 43 feet)
- utility room planned at the front, facing the street, for shorter piping runs
- entrance at the front or not far from the garage, possibly with a canopy later
- double garage (prefabricated, not solid masonry) on the property line, leaving a 1.5 m (5 feet) walkway between house and garage
- no basement for cost reasons
I still need to upload the ground floor plan.
Does our planning make sense?

The room layout corresponds to my design. And the more space, the higher the costs. We are modest 🙂 No, I don’t see any room layout! But I also admit that I’m not going to sit down now and calculate room sizes or use a crystal ball.

So parents on the lower floor. And upstairs maybe later a family with up to two children. Currently no children yet, but planned for the future 🙂 So, you’re probably wondering why questions about age and number of people (among other things) are included in the questionnaire. The fact is, a family with three small children has different space requirements than a middle-aged couple. Likewise, a senior couple has different needs again.
You’re referring to a family, not your own? Just any family then.
You now understand that we don’t know anything about you and/or cannot make assumptions. Guessing is quite pointless, and I notice that most people are reluctant to keep asking you for information even though they want to help.

Yes, the ground floor should be as barrier-free as possible, and less space is needed downstairs than upstairs. That’s the dilemma. For me, that would be a reason to consider attaching the garage to the house and building over it upstairs. That could solve the problem. I would recommend a soundproof ceiling anyway because of the kids’ bouncy castles on the upper floor.
Attached is a sketch of what something like that could look like. So far, I haven’t managed to fit a guest WC on the ground floor. Guests have to share the main bathroom. 😀
Okay, upstairs the door clashes with the bedroom door. There are still a few minor issues like that.
The big question is the budget. Who pays for what here? 🙂

Here is a rough sketch of what something like that could look like. So far, I haven’t managed to fit a guest toilet on the ground floor. Guests will have to use the bathroom. 😀
Okay, upstairs the door swings right in front of the bedroom door. There are still a few flaws like that.
The big question is the money. Who pays what here? 🙂 Sorry, #17 wasn’t meant for Kerstin, but for you 🙂
