Hello everyone,
I will probably start building a house with my family in the spring, but unfortunately, the floor plan is quite a difficult matter. I never would have thought so. Above all, it no longer fits our ideas at all. We have about 100m2 (1,076 sq ft) of green strip on the property, which unfortunately cannot be counted towards the floor area ratio. That's a long story...
Plot size 585m2 (6,298 sq ft)
Floor area ratio 0.4
Site coverage ratio 0.2
So, we are only allowed to build about 95.26m2 (1,025 sq ft) of footprint on the ground floor. Overall, we might end up with around 150m2 (1,615 sq ft) of living space. And now here are my floor plans.
The kitchen is sometimes shown with an integrated table at the kitchen island and sometimes without. Thanks for your opinions and tips.

If you throw the Neo into the ring, I’ll counter with the Baufritz: The Neo that Google shows me would be comparable to this Baufritz—but in both cases, I see a pitched roof (?)

How can I do it better? Is something like this possible in a cube shape? ypg schrieb:
You have to erase your mental hard drive and loosen your pencil grip. Exactly. There’s also someone in the green forum who seems fixated on the little building block that the developer symbolically drew in a possible spot within the building envelope; and now, mentally, they try to force every floor plan idea into that.
What is the motivation behind the “no roof” design: do you like flat roofs, or is there the naive assumption that it would be more cost-effective?

Converting one-and-a-half-story buildings into two-story buildings is something the original poster can do. That might be something "not even I" could do.
It’s truly an art, just as the opposite is. Well, having too much space doesn’t hurt as much as too little (except for the wallet) – but that’s not the real deal.
