Good evening everyone,
we might be considering building a house sometime in the future, which is why I’ve been following this forum more passively lately.
Given the current prices, I want to use the space as efficiently as possible and build only as large as necessary. However, a few parameters are already set:
How much living/floor area would you say is the minimum required under these conditions? The ground floor area would likely determine the upper floor area here.
Ideally, the house shouldn’t feel too cramped.
I’m asking also because prefabricated houses with this layout and under 180 sqm (1,938 sq ft) of living space are rarely found.
Perhaps someone here has built with similar requirements. Thank you, I’m looking forward to your input.

- No basement
- Utility/technical room on the ground floor
- Home office on the ground floor
- Staircase preferably straight-run
- Open kitchen, dining, and living area (of course)

So with standard-sized materials, you at least don't have to worry about that. No, you must not, rather you are even not allowed to. If you start considering alternatives and end up with a different heating system, the washing machine might need to be relocated, because otherwise there wouldn’t be enough clearance space in front of the circuit breaker panel.

With knee problems, I would choose a staircase with a landing. At least then you get a bit of a "break" after 8-9 steps. This type of staircase is also much more compact, both on the ground floor and the upper floor. You can easily create a small storage room under the upper flight.
