130 sqm L-shaped bungalow including double garage

- Are 3 windows necessary in the garage?

No.. one can definitely be removed on the bottom side.

I would move the doors further to the right in the utility room and place upper and lower cabinets on the left.

To the right? That only works downwards or upwards, right???

Hallway is too narrow and too dark without a window at 1.3x6.3m

That is indeed a bit problematic... but I somehow can’t solve it. The living area should stay facing west. Hmm... Regarding moving the doors: Yup... makes sense. Yes, we have a different opinion about the office.. As I said, hardly any time is spent there and it serves as file storage and at most maybe an hour a week for some billing etc.

- What kind of window is that behind the bed in the bedroom?

Yes, a normal one. Could go, right? Yes, I will probably solve the space problem in the kitchen by pushing the room divider further up. That should make it a bit better. At the moment, it is 4.5 meters in the living room. A bit less would certainly also be okay.

PS: What is that 0.3m² between the kitchen and living room?

Umm that should be the chimney plus fireplace. Didn’t really know how else to represent it?!?

I would rather start over again.

Even after the change???? Why exactly?

Almost everyone here in the forum has already been through this. You start with a few drafts, choose one, and then optimize it. Often you become blind in the process... Some things have already been said. For example, I find it way too cluttered, the office is too small even with less use... Toilet directly on the wall to the children's room (wall will be made thicker anyway noise level), kitchen with supply and wastewater kitchen on the other children's room, sleeping next to the garage wall (must be a fire protection wall), I am not an architect nor a specialist when it comes to floor plans. Sometimes a reset helps to find a better solution.

Some things I don't quite understand now... The kitchen is on the wall to the utility room. Also because of costs etc.... but not to the children's room? And on the garage wall there is no bedroom either??? Are you now judging the first draft?

Ashes on my head. I still had the first floor plan open... But in one of the children's rooms there is the toilet and shower and in the other the sink on the exterior wall. In your bedroom, the shower and toilet are on the exterior wall. With a bungalow, you don't have to make sure that the drains are stacked on top of each other for cost reasons. Depending on the material and wall construction, that would be too loud for me. What type of construction are you planning? The office is still too small. Garage possibly too narrow.

Some things I don't quite understand now... The kitchen is on the wall to the utility room. Also because of costs, etc.... but surely not to the children's room? And there is no bedroom on the garage wall either??? Are you now judging the first draft?

No matter which one he means. Neither is really great. Actually, both are just a sequence of rooms. Like in an apartment. And as long as you don't answer all the questions that are asked of you, the good draft will probably have to wait a while longer. But getting help or letting a professional take a look is probably out of the question? What do you do for a living, ?
