Hello everyone,
We have a plot where we are allowed to build a semi-detached house. The exterior dimensions can be a maximum of 7 m x 10 m (23 ft x 33 ft), with 2 full floors.
We have visited several carpentry companies (we want to build with solid wood) to get quotes. Each one designed a slightly different plan, but in all of them the children's rooms are quite small (between 11 and 12 square meters (118 to 129 square feet)).
Our requirements were:
- Ground floor with living/dining area, kitchen (preferably also separated), bathroom with shower, pantry
- Upper floor with one bedroom, 2 children's rooms, and a bathroom with shower + bathtub.
A basement is also planned, as the floor plan is already quite small. It will house a hobby room and a boiler room.
My question now:
Is it not possible to get larger children’s rooms with these exterior dimensions? Or has anyone built something similar with a completely different floor plan?
If more space really isn’t possible, is 11 square meters (118 square feet) enough for one child?

You are only allowed to build 7 m (23 feet) because the plot is 10 m (33 feet) wide and a 3 m (10 feet) distance must be kept from the neighbor. The other half could theoretically be built on by the neighbor, but currently, they have no plans to do so.
Exactly, there will only be a terrace in front of the house.
The land is flat, and a garage could theoretically be placed next to the house (at the other property boundary). However, we are foregoing that for now because we will not be using the driveway by car, leaving more space for the front of the house.

Does the neighbor already have a garage (house no. 6)? If so, a garage is allowed as edge development, and it is likely that they will build right up to the boundary. That would be almost like a mid-terrace house, since there is a garage on the left and the other semi-detached house on the right.
Where is the terrace going to be placed? North or south? North offers more space, south offers more sunlight...
