122 m² 3+1 with a full bathroom on each floor

"3+1" in Turkish listings means three bedrooms plus a living room. What sets this two-storey prefab house apart is that each floor has its own 5 m² bathroom, rather than just a small WC downstairs. The ground floor combines a 3 m² entrance, a 5 m² hall, a 24 m² living room, a 10 m² kitchen and the first bathroom. Upstairs, a 5 m² hall leads to bedrooms of 15 m², 10 m² and 10 m² and the second bathroom.

Where a second full bathroom makes the difference

Two full bathrooms remove the morning queue in a household of four or five. They are just as useful when relatives stay for several weeks: guests can wash downstairs while the family uses the upper bathroom. For anyone who finds stairs tiring after a long day, a bathroom on the living level is a clear convenience.

The 3 m² entrance is larger than in many compact plans, leaving room for a shoe cabinet and coat hooks so outdoor clothing stays out of the living room. The 24 m² living room takes a sofa group and a dining table side by side, with the 10 m² kitchen alongside. Upstairs, the 15 m² room suits the parents, and the two 10 m² rooms can be children's rooms, a study or a guest room.

Materials and finishes of the 122 m² two-storey house

• Betopan exterior cladding, chosen for a modern look and durability.
• Outer walls 10 cm thick, described as providing heat and sound insulation.
• Lead-free ERPEN PVC windows that shield the interior from the weather and reduce noise.
• Pakpen PVC balcony door opening to the outside.
• American-style panel interior doors.
• Electrical and plumbing installations concealed in the walls.
• Roof in painted galvanised steel sheet, with metal roof tiles as an option for a different look.

With two bathrooms, plan the location of water connections carefully on the floor plan before production.
