Example: 44 m² net, 1 bedroom

- Bedroom 2.80 × 3.40 m, 9.5 m²: above the 9 m² and 2.50 m limits in the Turkish regulation.

Tips for a small home
- Open plan instead of a hall. In a small home a separate hall takes up space; the entrance can open straight into the living room.
- Put windows on two sides. Windows facing each other ventilate the house naturally.
- Keep wet areas side by side. The water supply and drainage of the kitchen and bathroom run through the same place.
- Make room for storage. A cottage tends to have lots of tools and equipment; consider a separate shed outside.
