A DWELLING WITH TWO OR MORE BEDROOM MUST HAVE AT LEAST A
DOUBLE/ TWIN BED ROOM (min 11.5sqm, 2.75m wide)
SINGLE BEDROOM (min 7.5sqm, 2.15m wide)
MIN CEILING HEIGHT IS 2.3m

Gross Internal Area unless used solely for storage (if the area under the
stairs is to be used for storage, assume a general floor area of 1m2 within
the Gross Internal Area)
A built-in wardrobe counts towards the Gross Internal Area and bedroom
floor area requirements, but should not reduce the effective width of the
room below the minimum widths set out above. The built-in area in excess
of 0.72m2 in a double bedroom and 0.36m2 in a single bedroom counts
towards the built-in storage requirement

Previous plan & house:

Currently, What to do?:

COMBINE SEVERAL EU TYPOLOGY WITH UK HOUSING TO IMPROVE LIVING

STANDARDS
MOBILISE EXISTING HOUSING STOCK AS PRIVATE PROPERTY FOR SOCIAL
USE ( TO PREVENT OVERCROWDING)
TO PROVIDE AFFORDABLE HOUSING THROUGH URBAN INFILL, BUILDING
ABOVE AN EXISTING STRUCTURE
INTEND TO HEIGHTEN EXISTING STRUCTURE TO INCREASE NUMBER OF
FLATS

Rather than demolishing or picking an empty urban infill, instead I was thinking
of adding a few ==stories and an extension to a house in London to convert it
into a 8 unit flat that is able to accommodate various household:

4 - studios
3 - 2 bedroom apartment
1 - 3 bedroom apartment

Something like this? :

Project by Josef Weichenberger Architects in Austria

Aim is to provide affordable housing despite the cost of land that is already high
to prevent homelessness and social exclusion by allowing people to rent and still
live a quality life:

Proposed flat will be using prefab construction for cost and time saving
Also, I'm considering about a dual key apartment proposal, not sure if that
could be a start to a better flat sharing experience in UK since they have
horrible experiences in flat sharing as opposed to Germany

And Im not sure if I should follow uk housing standards as that is what dictates
the housing typology we have today, despite being liberalist that want to have
freedom in choices, they dont allow for much flexibility? So I was thinking of
sticking to EU housing typology, but Ill try to follow UK planning regulations
