Determining the Floor Size of Your House

Author: robertsmithseo2K | Posted: 08.04.2012

Some people just prefers to build their houses the old fashioned way, even though most will simply go to a real estate company and buy or get a mortgage on a property. It really depends on the situation, for instance you bought or inherited a piece of land that you want to develop or have your rest/vacation house built on. You would normally go to a house contractor to get it done for you. The floor size of your house should be proportionate to the land area. Normally real estate owners or developers sell lands with at least having 25 – 40 acres (101,171.5 – 161,874.4 square meters) in area. As a rule of thumb, your house’s floor size should be about 1/80th to 1/100th of the overall land area or that would be…

Floor size = 101,171.5 square meters/80 = 1,264.65 square meters

or

Floor size = 161,874.4 square meters/100 = 1,618.75 square meters

The reason why it’s logical to exact the ratio of your house to your land is to maximize the use of space, while having a beautiful house interior. Over the course of your lifetime you’ll be inviting guests to your house for fancy celebrations during special occasions. You can have the gathering outside in an open air atmosphere or if it is absolutely necessary to have it in doors, you can simply build a convention hall near your house. Just like farm folks would build a barn next to their houses.

You may have to hire a landscape artist as well so that your patch of land will not look dull, but gets a touch of heaven by letting the landscape artist transform it into a royal garden of sorts. Preferably, you should also have a wide meadow over your land just in case you want to indulge in horseback riding or some other engaging outdoor activities. You may also want to install a 12 or a 14 foot flag pole as most Americans prefer to have one, because they like to show their patriotism in everything they do.

Most floor dimensions are either square or rectangular in shape while others are just a variation of the both. Depending on the number of occupants who will live in the house, the nature of your work (whether you’ll need an extra space in the house to do your work) and other needs, the architect and the interior designer will design the house appropriately so that it will match with what you need.
