Floor plans by rooms

How many rooms do you really need? Choose the number of rooms and see how the area can be sensibly divided.

Why the floor plan first?

The floor plan decides the living feeling - long before facade or equipment come into play. It determines how light falls into the rooms, how short the daily paths are and whether privacy and community have their place. Facade, roof shape and material can be adapted more easily later than an unfavorable room layout.

Those who put the floor plan at the beginning plan from everyday life rather than from the brochure image. Therefore the rule here is: first search and compare, then understand the planning logic - and in the end find the design that fits your life.

Frequently asked questions about floor plans

Living area, layout, modifications: The editorial team of Hausbau-Grundrisse answers the questions most frequently asked before selecting the floor plan.

How do I find the right living area for my floor plan?
Calculate from everyday life, not from the ideal image. For a couple, 90 to 110 square meters are often sufficient. A family of four usually feels comfortable between 130 and 150 square meters once children's rooms, a work room and storage space are added. What is decisive is not the number alone but the layout: A well-zoned floor plan with short paths appears more generous than a larger area with many corridors. First note which rooms you really use daily and then compare floor plans in the respective size class so that you develop a feeling for how many square meters your living everyday life actually needs.
How do I read a floor plan correctly?
A floor plan shows the house from a bird's-eye view as a horizontal section at approximately window height. Walls appear as strong lines, doors as quarter-circle arcs indicating their opening direction, windows as thin double lines in the wall. The entered dimensions indicate room widths and lengths, often supplemented by the square meter area per room. Pay attention to the orientation (north arrow), the position of the staircase, load-bearing walls and the connections for the kitchen and bathroom. Those who know these symbols can quickly see how light, paths and furniture are distributed in the room and whether the design matches their own daily living.
Can I still change an existing floor plan?
In most cases yes. However, the room for manoeuvre depends on the construction. Non-load-bearing interior walls can often be moved or removed so that two small rooms become one large room. Load-bearing walls, the position of the stairs and the position of the wet rooms with their connections are much more complex to change. It is advisable to collect desired changes early and coordinate them with the planning rather than making changes later. Use an example floor plan as a starting point and mark what should remain and what is flexible. This allows the design to be specifically adapted to your needs.
What does a floor plan change cost?
A fixed sum cannot be named seriously because the effort depends heavily on the intervention. As a rule: Moving a light dividing wall is manageable. Shifting load-bearing components, the staircase or the bathroom and kitchen becomes noticeably more expensive because statics and utilities must be planned in. The timing also plays a role. Adjustments in the planning phase are almost always cheaper than changes during the construction phase. Consider possible follow-up costs for approval and energy certificate. As a rough guide we indicate cost ranges. Binding figures are only provided by the specific design.
What does zoning mean for a floor plan?
Zoning means grouping rooms sensibly according to their function so that quiet and activity do not conflict. It is usual to separate an open, lively day area with living, cooking and dining from a quieter retreat area with bedrooms and children's rooms. Buffer zones such as the hallway, bathroom or utility room lie in between. Clear zoning ensures short distances, less noise between the areas and more privacy. When comparing floor plans it is worth checking whether the day and night zones are separate and whether loud and quiet rooms do not border directly on each other.
Who is Hausbau-Grundrisse for?
Hausbau-Grundrisse is aimed at all those in the German-speaking area who are planning a new build and want to put the floor plan at the center from the initial search and comparison through understanding the logic of planning to adapting their own design. Search through floor plans by living area, number of rooms, house type and special shape, read easily prepared planning knowledge and find designs for different stages of life. The guiding idea is: First the floor plan, then the house. We do not evaluate providers and do not award rankings. We help you find the room layout that suits your everyday life.
