jeffreyHello everyone,
we are currently planning our house construction and have purchased a plot of approximately 540 sqm (5800 sq ft). The house should have a size of about 160 sqm (1700 sq ft).
House shape: rectangular with a pitched roof (upper floor with additional gables and floor-to-ceiling windows on both sides)
Ground floor:
- Living area and kitchen combined
- Guest bathroom
- Small office
- Utility room with access to the garage, which is set further back
Upper floor:
- Master bedroom
- Child 1
- Child 2
- Bathroom
I would appreciate any suggestions you might have.
Thank you!
Regards
Jeffrey

Have you tried searching on Google first? That should be the initial step (to get an idea of what’s available and how it fits). Then you should consult an architect or builder. What someone else has built doesn’t necessarily suit your plot of land or your lifestyle.
There is no free architectural service here either.

Sounds a bit like our floor plan.
We will soon have a house with four gables.
On the ground floor at the front, we have only half a gable, which contains the guest toilet. Next to it is the entrance door, covered by the gable.
On the left side, we have the living and dining areas, and at the rear gable is the kitchen. Attached to the kitchen is the utility room, located in the right rear corner of the house. Access to the garage would be possible from here. In front of that is an office and another technical room. The staircase is in the center of the house and has a storage room underneath.
On the upper floor, there are two rooms on each side (so four in total – we have three children), and the third and fourth gables contain the parents’ bathroom and the children’s bathroom. We have also converted the attic, or rather the house is still under construction.
However, on the ground and upper floors, we have something between 190 and 200 m² (2,045 and 2,153 sq ft) and with the attic floor, 230–240 m² (2,476–2,583 sq ft).
Milkie is right, too.
Just ask Mr. Google (“floor plan 4 gable house”) and check the image search. You can actually find quite a few three- and four-gable houses with “only” two children’s rooms. That was my first approach at the time, too, but those houses either didn’t fit our plot (520 m² (5,595 sq ft)) or our lifestyle. Our architect then designed a house exactly to our specifications, and the children’s bathroom was even added, although that wasn’t really a requirement for us.
By the way, with three-gable houses (Frisian houses, captain’s houses), it’s usually easy to add a fourth gable.

At the front downstairs, we have only a half gable, which contains the guest bathroom. Next to it is the entrance door, covered by the gable.
On the left side of the house are the living and dining areas, and at the rear gable is the kitchen. The utility room is connected to the kitchen, located in the back right corner of the house.

On the upper floor, there are two rooms on each side (so four rooms in total—we have three children), and in the third and fourth gables are the master bathroom and the children’s bathroom. We also expanded the attic, although the house is still under construction.
We have roughly between 190 and 200 m² (2,045 and 2,153 sq ft) on the ground and upper floors, and with the attic, about 230–240 m² (2,474–2,583 sq ft).

That was my first approach as well, but the houses either didn’t fit our 520 m² (5,600 sq ft) plot or match our lifestyle. Our architect then designed a house exactly to our specifications, and we even ended up with a children’s bathroom, which wasn’t initially a requirement for us.
By the way, with three-gable houses (like Frisian or captain’s houses), it is quite easy to add a fourth gable later on.

I had to look up what you might mean first. After consulting Google, it became clear to me that there is probably some confusion about the terminology here. What you are describing (and many providers as well) is a classic single-family house with a pitched roof and a front and rear dormer on each side.
A classic three-gable house is exactly what it says. The third gable is nothing other than a side extension, but it is built significantly deeper than a standard dormer.
The terms Frisian or captain’s houses only refer to the style of the gable; in these cases, the roof pitch at the gable is usually over 50° Celsius (122°F).

Construction expert,
yes, that's true regarding the differences. I only used the terms here because many people use them interchangeably, and when you search for "Friesenhaus," you also come across many floor plans for triple-gabled houses, and vice versa. For searching floor plans, it’s fine to use all the above-mentioned terms.
