Hello everyone,
I just registered here and need to ask for your help right away. Hopefully, you'll welcome me warmly!
Out of gratitude towards my parents, I would like to move to the countryside to them soon; more precisely to their "garden" - to care for them and be there for them long-term. As is common in the countryside, we have quite a bit of land there. Next to the main house is an outbuilding estimated to be about 80m2, where, for example, the kitchen, garage, etc. are located. We would convert the outbuilding into a double garage, allowing direct access to my future house, which would be located behind this outbuilding; far away from the street and practically hidden.
Now, what it's about: behind this outbuilding I would like to build a flat-roof bungalow of about 100m2. It should look modern and stylish from the outside, but I actually believe that with a sense of design you can achieve that without expensive luxury materials - correct me if I’m wrong. I’d like the bungalow to be plastered white, with a few copper elements in the walls here and there, and floor-to-ceiling windows everywhere. Inside, parquet in the living room, hallway, and study, and large dark tiles in the rest of the house - preferably underfloor heating everywhere; that will probably be expensive - and ideally a fireplace.
I don’t need a basement, and one bathroom is enough for me.
I would now be interested in what costs I can roughly expect - as mentioned, the land is already available. If you have any questions to estimate the price more accurately, feel free to ask! I’m young and haven’t been dealing with this topic for long.
Also, a question about the flat roof: how is it actually ensured that rainwater, for example, drains away? Due to the lack of roof slope, it’s not really “forced” into gutters, so to speak. I hope the question is understandable (and not too silly).
Many thanks in advance to anyone who has read this and can maybe help me!
