We currently have 10.50m² (113 sq ft) as a bedroom.
Double bed – large wardrobe – 2 dressers. Everything fits ;-)

With a 2m x 2m (6.6 ft x 6.6 ft) box spring bed? :-p

with space for 3 children's rooms, a bedroom, and a bathroom above, and a knee wall no higher than 50cm (20 inches). Is there such a tricky floor plan?

Design it yourself – there won’t be any ready-made solutions. Having three children already clearly exceeds the usual “standard,” so in a standard design, the third child is typically only accommodated as a “guest.” Knee walls under 1 meter (39 inches) are also generally not desired.

Unfortunately, you can’t simply modify a design with a 1-meter (39 inches) knee wall down to 50cm (20 inches): in the bathroom with a dormer, it might still be possible to stand up from the toilet without hitting your head. But in the bedrooms, it means you won’t be able to place a bed against the wall. This effectively reduces the usable floor space in these rooms by about half a meter (20 inches).

So you would basically need to look for houses around 170 square meters (1,830 square feet) if you want to end up with approximately 140 square meters (1,510 square feet) of usable space after “shortening”—even if you could increase the roof pitch from, for example, 30° to 40°.

Am I correct in my gloomy suspicion that the low knee wall is due to specific zoning requirements? If so, please share the other related conditions.
