ᐅ Search: Collection of floor plans up to 1,500 sq ft (approximately 140 m²)

Hello everyone,

My wife and I have been looking at floor plans for quite some time now. Unfortunately, most of them lack interior dimensions, which basically makes them unusable. We have already received two floor plans from a general contractor that are acceptable. However, in the 135m² (1453 sq ft) plan, the hallway would be dark, and in the 142m² (1528 sq ft) plan, there is only 13m² (140 sq ft) of hallway upstairs. But that is not a major issue for now.

Does @kaho674 or anyone else with experience perhaps have a small collection of plans that could be shared for inspiration?

What are our requirements?
- Master bedroom with walk-in closet
- 2 children’s bedrooms
- Small storage room upstairs for vacuum cleaner and cleaning supplies
On the ground floor:
- Office/guest room
- Utility room for gas heating system, ventilation, and washing machine
- Guest toilet without shower
- Closed kitchen with seating for four people and sliding door to the living area

Maybe with ideas from others, we can find “our” perfect floor plan.

Best regards,

Varone

Hello!
I had already seen the pictures.
However, some of them also include floor plans that were then thoroughly analyzed and criticized by the experts here in the forum, right?
Or are those just floor plans that were considered good?

With the 135 plan, the hallway would be dark, and in the 142 m2 (1530 sq ft) option, there is only 13 m2 (140 sq ft) of hallway upstairs. But that doesn’t matter for now.

There is no such thing as a perfect solution. Hallways rarely get natural light – it’s difficult to avoid in houses under 160 m2 (1720 sq ft).
Your wishes don’t really say much. The plot of land is the key factor, so there is no universal collection.

No design is unusable. Just redraw it yourself. Dimensions become clear: a bed is roughly 90 cm x 2 m (35 inches x 6.5 ft), a wardrobe is 60 cm (24 inches) deep. You can do that yourself.

Tell your architect what bothers you right now. With a 140 m2 (1507 sq ft) house, there is usually much more to address, but not everything is possible without other compromises.

I’m afraid that might be a bit too many room requirements for 140 sqm (1507 sq ft). I have 131 sqm (1410 sq ft), but no office or extra room on the upper floor...

Cool! I didn’t know that before. I’ve already found my house... my sketches, Katja’s sketches...

You’ll hardly find any floor plans online that match your preferences. Otherwise, let me know.
Or are you looking for a “shoulder pat” floor plan?

What exactly is a “shoulder pat” floor plan?

If everything went according to my wishes, we would have 146 m² (1,572 sq ft) with a 10 m² (108 sq ft) workshop and a double garage.
We estimated the cost roughly at 317k.

I’ve told the general contractor for now that, except for tiling work, we will handle some parts ourselves. This includes all flooring except the tiled areas and all wall coverings. The walls will be finished to Q2 level with painter’s fleece as a base. We will do the rest ourselves. The double garage is dropped (50k).
Our neighbor and friend is building us a double carport.
Although our combined income is 5000€ (about $5,300), as the homeowner I want to be involved in the construction process and not pay for everything I can do myself.
Maybe this will create some cost savings?
I know there is no such thing as a perfect solution…

When the kids move out, I will have a large empty house. That’s why I want to be careful and build sensibly now.
