Tichu78Hello,
I’m not sure how to arrange the remaining part of the floor plan. The front door must be on the side.
Our requirements are:
How would you use the remaining 20m² (215 sq ft)?
I appreciate any tips and ideas.
I’m not sure how to arrange the remaining part of the floor plan. The front door must be on the side.
Our requirements are:
- a utility room as large as possible (since we don’t have a basement)
- a WC with toilet and washbasin (small but practical)
- a reasonably comfortable entrance area, meaning not too narrow when a few people visit... not too tight and not too dark.
- a cloakroom niche that isn’t immediately visible when guests come over. Ours usually looks quite messy.
How would you use the remaining 20m² (215 sq ft)?
I appreciate any tips and ideas.

Well, basically, the remaining 20 sqm (215 sq ft) should accommodate a kitchen (or is the kitchen planned directly after the passage to the living area?), a toilet, and the cloakroom.
Are you building with a basement, or will a utility/technical room also need to be included?
However, I also have doubts about the feasibility of the rest of the floor plan. In my opinion, the hallway is clearly too narrow, and especially the door to the living area.
The wall thickness between the hallway and living area will probably need to be adjusted in part, as you will likely require at least one load-bearing wall there.
I would recommend checking out various suppliers’ websites for ideas—and even better, visiting a model home park...
Best regards,
Dirk

Yes, the kitchen is located immediately after the entrance to the living area.
There is no basement, so the utility room is as large as possible.
Since the staircase is in the hallway and the area from the front door to the hallway is open, the hallway does not feel very small. It is just under 3 meters (nearly 10 feet). The entrance to the living area is a glass door.
The wall is 17.5 cm (7 inches) thick.
I have already gathered some suggestions and have an idea.
It would just have been interesting to see how others solve this.

I agree with Dirk.
As a load-bearing wall, the 17.5cm (7 inches) thickness is too narrow. It will probably need to be 24cm (9.5 inches) instead.
The hallway is too narrow. The door is definitely too narrow (even for a glass door ). The space for the stairs will also likely be very tight. You should calculate those dimensions carefully.
First, you should address these fundamental issues.
