Five rooms and generous space: the 189 m² steel-frame house

This two-storey steel-frame house provides five rooms plus a large living room on 189 m² – a 5+1 layout in the Turkish notation, where the first number counts the rooms and “+1” the living room. Two bathrooms and two balconies complete the package, and the building height of 2.80 m gives the interior an open, spacious feel. The manufacturer presents it as equally suited to town plots and countryside sites.

Living with two balconies in the 189 m² 5+1 plan

With five rooms on this much floor area, there is scope for well-furnished bedrooms as well as rooms with a specific purpose. Typical ways to use the house:

• A family home with a bedroom for every child and a separate study
• A shared home for parents and adult children, each with their own room
• A holiday base in Turkey with space for visiting relatives
• A dedicated hobby room, library or playroom

Two balconies mean outdoor space can be shared out – one for quiet mornings, another for family evenings. Check on the floor plan which rooms they open from, and how rooms and bathrooms are split between the two floors.

Structure and materials of the 189 m² steel house

The steel load-bearing system is presented by the manufacturer as earthquake-resistant. The exterior walls are 22 cm thick and the interior walls 14 cm. The façade combines OSB with a weatherboard-style finish, framed by Betopan corner trims. The windows are lead-free ERPEN PVC, the interior doors are moulded panel (“American-style”) doors, and the electrical installation is concealed in the walls. The roof comes in painted galvanised steel sheet, with metal roof tiles available as an option.
