ᐅ Single-Family Home: L-Shaped vs. Rectangular Design

Hello everyone. While considering development options for a plot near Munich, I have the following question:

How does the cost difference usually compare between an L-shaped building with about 110m² (1,184 square feet) of floor area and a more traditional rectangular building with around 130m² (1,399 square feet) plus a 20m² (215 square feet) garage integrated into the main structure?

I hope I have explained myself clearly enough...

Best regards

Additional information: The height of the house and other factors remain the same. My main concern is to find out whether an L-shaped design is generally more expensive to build (and if so, significantly or not) compared to a simple rectangular shape (considering building corners, roof intersections, etc.).

With a floor area of 110 sqm (approximately 1,184 sq ft) — how much living space would that leave? I would focus more on a sensible (meaning well usable) room layout. Others can comment on the costs instead. 😉

Well, 110m² (1,184 sq ft) minus 10-15% for walls, multiplied by 2 floors plus a basement. In addition, the garage is built over on the first floor, adding approximately 15m² (160 sq ft), which should be sufficient.

What interests me more at the moment is whether the costs roughly stay the same due to the corner shape with the larger, straight volume, or if that extra volume ultimately leads to significantly higher costs.

No.

Yes.

Ok, thanks. Can the difference be estimated roughly?

No; it depends ;-)
