Building a small bungalow with 100 sqm - realistic idea?

We want a bungalow with a flat roof because we like it and not because it is the cheapest type of construction. And we believe that if we have children, which would be a maximum of 2, 100sqm is also completely sufficient. Better small and fine not everyone has to build big.

A flat roof should be somewhat more expensive than a hip or gable roof. The latter has the advantage that you still have storage space under the roof. Storage options always make the living area more interesting. Usually, one forgets to add some sqm that you need as a technical, utility, and storage room.

The smaller the house, the higher the average price per sqm.

Nordlys we would also plan it that way. 2 small rooms that could then serve as children's rooms. Basically a good thing with the storage space. But I have fallen in love with the flat roof it should look a bit like Bauhaus.

So I really love the bungalow themes
We have also built a bungalow. 180 sqm, the actual living space is then 150 sqm.
If I now deduct 20 sqm from our really lavish living area, I come to about 120-130 sqm, which really must be enough for 2 children.
Our kids have almost 12 and 11 sqm. Definitely not smaller. I wouldn't want to impose that on any child. Sure, it's possible, but then there's really not much room left for playing. I think we have 16 sqm in the bedroom. I also don’t like it any smaller here. Otherwise it gets really cramped.
And an apartment is by no means comparable in terms of space requirements to a house. We had a 120 sqm apartment with an attic and huge storage space in the hallway. We managed really comfortably with that.
And now? Now I'm trying to optimize because it simply isn't enough. And I am extremely minimalist. Everything I haven't used in 1 year gets thrown out (excluding special items). Our 80 sqm attic is full (although not yet organized in height).
Conclusion: Don't underestimate the space requirements. Plan at least one full-fledged children's room around 12 sqm. Even the living room looks rather miserable so small in a house.
And if you really want to do without the attic, you need a storage room that shouldn’t be too small.

I gather that you are still quite young and the child issue is not excluded. So build for a family as well. Nordlys is already out of the picture and hosts grandchildren. So there doesn’t have to be a full-fledged children's room anymore.
We also planned our bungalow so that we can use every room later and nothing stands empty. Oh, and we ultimately paid about 250k for ours, although with a half-hipped roof, which was easily an 8k surcharge.

We had 70 sqm + basement as storage space (about 12 sqm) + utility room and that was far too little space for three people. You really have to ask yourself, Christmas tree or play kitchen? In the end, it was my bookshelf that had to go.

I consider 100 sqm with 2 children to be extremely little space. Even if you add ventilation technology, utility room, and storage space.

What works well for two reaches its limits with three. Minimalism, whether up or down. It mainly affects cupboards and storage areas. The kitchen was always just about enough, suddenly mineral water bottles, milk bottles, sterilizer, powdered milk, and kettle are standing on the already cramped surface. The living room was always sufficient, then comes the cradle, then the crawling rug, then the play corner. This ran through the whole apartment.

Do you already have a plot of land? How far you get with 180,000 euros also depends on your demands. It starts with hype things like foiled windows and ends with bathroom equipment. In the bathroom, you can easily upgrade by 10,000 euros.

As 11ant sees it, I assume the same. Additional construction costs are around ±30/40 thousand. The rest can be found using the search function. Depending on the region, 1800-2000 per sqm in average standard

I don't think anyone here comes close to that. For earthworks, I don't know anyone in our area who has stayed significantly under 20,000 recently. Rather significantly more. Then there are house connections with 12,000, the basics for garden/yard with 10,000, fees/insurances 5,000, buffer for unforeseen expenses 10,000. Regarding bungalows, I really like the Danwood houses. They have great layouts and are relatively inexpensive. But on top of the catalog price, quite a bit is always added. Concrete slab, for example.

Arifa, yes, I also find the division very good. We have just ordered informational material. We do not have a plot yet. We have equity of 120,000 euros and want to stay below 300,000 in total.
