ᐅ Your Favorite Floor Plans for Single-Family Homes

It would be boring if everyone lived in the same kind of house. In my opinion, the available plot of land primarily determines the floor plan!
Best regards

And yet, most houses are selected from the catalog, for example, the mentioned Flair 131. Why is that?

Due to a lack of better knowledge and imagination, the tendency to avoid spending money on an expensive architect, and the trend toward more prefabricated construction methods with the resulting absence of a “free” architect—take your pick.

The Flair certainly has a very functional floor plan, which on its own might match the requirements of many building plots and homeowners relatively well. But just because it often fits reasonably well doesn’t mean it’s the best or even the most attractive floor plan.

I even believe that many homeowners who built a Flair could have had a floor plan that was more optimal, more attractive, or more individual for their needs, but for the reasons mentioned in the first paragraph, that simply didn’t happen.

Many people like our house, but few want to live in such a house.

This “fate” is probably shared by the world-famous, most photographed houses in architecture magazines across the decades. For a party, one might gladly have the Barcelona Pavilion, but for everyday living, just like Fallingwater or Burg Eltz, not so much. What I don’t like about your house is the plot: for an ordinary person, 550 sq m (6,000 sq ft) and a slope of 80 cm (31 inches) along the entire depth of the site don’t really work.

One must not forget that an average income earner cannot build their house according to the motto “if I were rich someday.” A Flair is “best-selling” because it often fits best within the triangle of family, budget, and plot. The fourth corner, “architecture award contender,” often has to be sacrificed by Müllermeier-Schultzes in order to meet the other three as an average family.

Examples of successful solutions can also be found online – although not as easily as when you Google for “dream house.” Whoever wants to bake a cake must have seven ingredients – and those are already:

So if you want to find the optimal floor plan, then sit down and engage with your life preferences. How you want to live rather than wherein. Don’t think in rooms and walls, but in habits and tasks.

With that, you already have the essential framework, from which the right house emerges. The solution lies within us.
