Seven rooms and a large living room in the 159 m² steel-frame house

This steel-frame house combines seven rooms with a spacious living room – a 7+1 layout in Turkish notation, where the first number counts the rooms and “+1” the living room – plus two bathrooms. The data lists two storeys, while the manufacturer describes the building as a 2.5-storey structure intended to make maximum use of the space. With a building height of 2.80 m, the rooms feel airy. The house is aimed at large families and at owners who want rooms for several different purposes.

Who needs seven rooms? Use cases for the 159 m² model

• Extended families where grandparents, parents and grown-up children live together
• Families who want a bedroom for every child plus a study and a guest room
• Owners who combine family life with hobby, craft or home-office rooms
• A summer base in Turkey that can host several relatives at once

With seven rooms on 159 m², the floor area is spread over many rooms, so check the net size of each one and the position of the two bathrooms on the floor plan. Seven rooms with two bathrooms also means planning morning routines when the house is full.
