Hello dear community,
we are a family of four (2 adults, 2 children) currently planning to build a house. It is quite challenging to find a floor plan with 3 bedrooms plus an office that still fits within an affordable size. Therefore, we have tried out several layouts and look forward to your feedback and comments. This is our initial sketch. Our main goal is to make the most efficient use of the available space. We plan to use this floor plan to obtain comparable offers from home builders.
Thank you in advance!

The staircase doesn’t work like that. Five steps overlapping? What is the floor-to-ceiling height?
Bathroom on the upper floor without a window?
Why is north shown at the bottom of your plan? It’s better to always orient all plans the same way, and if possible, have north at the top. With two steps, it should work; we have a clear structural height of 2.75m (9 feet). A window at the bathtub level is planned for the bathroom, plus a skylight. I can’t rotate the plan either since I don’t have architectural software.

Which door under the stairs? There isn’t any. And no, I’m not planning without a professional planner. True! I misread the door situation. However, the overlapping of the staircase is really a typical “amateur design.” The overlapping of the pipes and the constant changes in direction are quite persistently problematic.

I can’t rotate it either because I don’t have an architectural program. But I’ll keep quiet now…

Don’t forget the garage door.

Have you mentioned anything about the budget yet?
What do you mean by "we have the plot almost"?

Yes, a roof window is planned there, not only for light but also for ventilation.Similar topics
