Short answer
What do you gain with 160 to 180 m²?
The range between 160 and 180 m² combines the comfort features of large family houses without changing to the dimensions of a two-family house. Typically downstairs there is an open living area with kitchen island, a utility room, a pantry and a work or guest room near the entrance. Upstairs the night zone is divided into a parent area with dressing room and own shower bathroom as well as several children's rooms around a family bathroom. The central planning issue is whether the ground floor room should allow for single-level living at a later date. Different ceiling heights, floor finishes and sight lines give the large area orientation and prevent it from appearing impersonal.
