🧱 House 200 m² – luxury or standard?

In 2025, many people planning to build a house are wondering: is 200 square meters a lot? The answer depends on lifestyle, the number of household members, and budget. In this article, we analyze when a 200 square meter house is a good choice and when it may prove too expensive.

📏 What does 200 m² mean in practice?

A 200 m² house may include:

  • 4 bedrooms,

  • living room with dining room and kitchen,

  • 2 bathrooms,

  • wardrobe, laundry room, pantry,

  • additional room for work or guest,

  • garage or utility room.

It is a space that provides complete comfort even for a family of 2+3 or 2+4.
