104 m² steel-frame house with five rooms on two floors

This two-storey steel-frame house provides 104 m² with five rooms and two bathrooms – a lot of separate rooms for its size. That makes it interesting for larger families, or for owners who want bedrooms, a study and a guest room under one roof without moving to a much bigger building. The product text presents it as suitable for both town and countryside.

Unlike the prefab models, which use the Turkish "2+1" notation (two bedrooms plus a living room), this model is described by its total number of rooms. There is no room-by-room breakdown on this page, so ask for the floor plan to see how the five rooms and the two bathrooms are divided between the floors.

Why a steel frame for 104 m²

The load-bearing structure is steel. The manufacturer's text highlights that steel is lighter than reinforced concrete, flexible and durable, and stresses its resistance to earthquakes – a question many people planning a house in Turkey ask first. The walls are noticeably thick: 14 cm inside and 22 cm outside, intended for heat and sound insulation. The building height is 2.80 m.

Exterior and interior details of the 104 m² model

• Façade of OSB with weatherboard-style (yalı baskı) cladding
• Lead-free ERPEN PVC windows
• American-style panel interior doors
• Painted galvanised steel roof; metal tiles or shingles as options

With five rooms on 104 m², the individual rooms will be moderately sized. Check the plan against your furniture and decide early which rooms serve as bedrooms and which as a study or guest room, and whether an older family member needs a ground-floor room close to a bathroom.
