ᐅ Looking for design ideas for a semi-detached house floor plan.

Hello,
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.

Did I miss something? Why don’t you base your design on a common semi-detached house and plan the staircase along the interior wall? For some reason, this is the standard (probably well known from RH), and at least it will work. You can always customize it later, right?!

We want to place the entrance on the side, but that would result in too much hallway space.

The only solution that would make sense is something like this:

Floor plan: Living and dining area with blue corner sofa, yellow coffee table, dining table; spiral staircase.


Floor plan with rooms: Living room 25.28 m² (272 sq ft), bedroom 16.79 m² (181 sq ft), bathroom 8.13 m² (88 sq ft).

There are even more practical designs for semi-detached houses with a side entrance.

Edit: you just need to google it.

So far, I haven't found any where the living room and kitchen are not separated.

Sorry, I found quite a bit of information quickly earlier... I’ll get you some links and also upload a quick sketch once I’m properly online again.
I had already written something earlier, but it seems it wasn’t saved.
Take some time to review what you absolutely need and what would be nice to have, and share that. Also, please show the site plan. I assume the requirements are 11 x 7.5 meters (36 x 25 feet)?
