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?

Kerstin, the plot is 20 meters wide. What is the orientation on your side?
Regards, Yvonne On the left side of the plan is north – you can actually tell from the garage’s driveway. Didn’t she mention something about building on the boundary? It’s all a bit confusing, the information keeps coming in bits and pieces.
I just wanted to put the idea out there of building over the garage.

10.32 x 13.50 meters (33.9 x 44.3 feet)
It should not be any larger; this would be our limit.
The garage is planned as a prefabricated garage and therefore cannot be integrated into the house.
For orientation: the garage is located on the south side, and the parking spaces are on the west side (in front of the house).
On both sides, we need to maintain a distance of 3 meters (10 feet) to the neighbors.
The room layout should be as shown in the floor plan, meaning one additional room and a guest restroom on the ground floor.
And upstairs, two rooms plus a guest restroom. This would theoretically provide space for two children, who are not yet present.

Mmh. It’s just a rough attempt. Here are a few points to consider:
- Try drawing the toilet and washbasin inside the restrooms. Is there still enough room to move around, or do you have to hop onto the toilet?
- Try drawing a 2m x 2m (6ft 7in x 6ft 7in) bed in the upstairs bedroom. Another hop-on-the-bed situation?
- How exactly does the staircase work? It should probably be a half-turn staircase, right? Add some measurements so we can roughly tell if it will fit.
- How will you get a larger wardrobe through the door into the ground floor bedroom or the unnamed room upstairs?
- You plan to block the sunny side with the garage. That’s a pity.
- When entering the apartments, you always end up in a dark, long, narrow hallway. Not very inviting.
- Where do I put my coats—both downstairs and upstairs?
- Try furnishing the bathroom. It will get really cramped, literally.

... and try choosing a larger font or crop the view to the actual drawing instead of including so much white space around it. It’s impossible to read your labels and the few dimensions.
Just add a north arrow to the drawing, so people don’t always have to look for that information in the text 😉
Otherwise, I agree with @kaho674.
