Hello, I am currently planning to build a semi-detached house for rental purposes.

The house width must not exceed 15m (49 feet), but I have flexibility in the length.

Orientation is northeast.

It will be a standard house made from 36.5cm (14 inches) aerated concrete blocks, with either an air-to-water heat pump or ground-source heat pump, mechanical ventilation with heat recovery, and a pitched roof or hipped roof (nail truss).

I have a few questions regarding improvements.

Ground floor: Should I swap the kitchen and living room? If yes, do I also need to swap the bathroom and bedroom on the upper floor?

Upper floor: Should I keep the small 4.5sqm (48 square feet) room as an office/dressing room or plan it as a children's bathroom and allocate the main bathroom to the parents?

Feedback and suggestions are welcome.

I would be satisfied with 8€/m² (approximately $0.74/ft²) to cover the costs and set aside a buffer for possible repairs.

Wow! How does that work? I haven’t seen projects in a long time where that is possible.

The plot measures 65 x 28 meters (213 x 92 feet).

The plan is to build three semi-detached houses.

Site plan: Large green plot 17/1, surrounded by pink parcels (4-8) and roads.

Please show how the houses are planned to be positioned. Where are the access paths, parking spaces, and garbage bins...?
