Bungalow 135 sqm: Floor plan + windows

Kitchen, I don't see it as critical, it's okay. The roof is too massive for a bungalow for me, try 30 degrees slope, the gable sides possibly with 40. It really looks sleeker.

Unfortunately, we are not allowed 30 - the regulations require a slope between 35 and 45 degrees.

what exactly do you mean by "hung the wrong way"?

Quite simply: they all open to the less practical side in terms of left / right.

The roof is too massive for a bungalow for me

Yet it is precisely your bungalow, because of which I actually do not expect the roof pitch to be as massive as in the elevations.

Is 1.44m2 enough for a guest WC? I also find the storage room very small, the door takes up an entire side, so it will be difficult with shelves. When you enter the living area, you run into the dining table, I don’t like that very much.

Not only are all the planning errors back, even the additional WC inside has no window - instead of being outside, which would be feasible. In my drafts, I actually only oriented myself according to what you wanted and eliminated planning errors. Bedroom closet, kitchen, structure. Now there is again a pantry or a KLIPPAN sofa, because the furnishings steal the space.

Is 1.44m2 enough for a guest toilet? I also find the storage room very small; the door takes up an entire side, so it will be hard to fit shelves. When you enter the living area, you run into the dining table, which I don’t like very much.

The dining table in the living area is more or less a placeholder – whether we will place it like that: no idea. But I think there is enough space overall somewhere for a table. The storage room is small, yes. But at least it’s bigger than our current one (which is the size of the planned WC) and it’s also full of shelves. The door for both the WC and the storage room opens outwards, so it doesn’t get in the way.

Not only are all planning mistakes back in, even the additional WC inside has no window – instead of outside, which would be feasible.
In my elaborations, I actually only oriented myself on what you wanted and eliminated planning errors. Bedroom closet, kitchen, structure. Now there’s a pantry or a Klippan sofa again because the furniture steals the space.

Thank you very much for the hint regarding the window in the guest WC – a pity it only comes now, I had already posted the sketch here beforehand and it’s a shame our planner doesn’t notice such things. I could simply push the WC forwards towards the outer wall – could look strange in the exterior view concerning the window? Or we just leave the WC out again.

I will still move the door to the bedroom – that’s not relevant for the building application. The kitchen is now as you suggested – the bedroom wall is straightened and the kitchen has space. We don’t want to reduce the living area by the corner you proposed. We have almost 8 meters of room length – that should be enough for a kitchen and a living room, right? It somehow works for others with much smaller living areas too. With you, it always sounds as if the houses shown here in the floor plan forum are all uninhabitable. That’s not exactly easy for those who are currently planning a house – you’re already very tense about the whole thing anyway.

Phew, do you really think so - it’s actually only 2.50 meters of wall in the kitchen and then there are already the two 2-meter windows... if I now put a window into the kitchen, the entire east front would basically be full of windows and might then have more window area than facade... I’d have to calculate that.

Is that optimized or taken into account?

Kitchen, I don’t see it that critically, it’s okay.

I see it absolutely critically!

Is 1.44 m2 enough for a guest WC?

No!

The dining table in the living area is more or less a placeholder - whether we actually put it like that: no idea. But I think there is overall enough space for a table somewhere.

Placeholders usually have the property that it then doesn’t get implemented as intended. Basically, a table has no place in this design because everything is somehow a placeholder.

The kitchen is now as you suggested – the bedroom wall is straightened and the kitchen has space.

Where does it have space?

We don’t want to reduce the living area by the corner you suggested. We have just under 8 meters room length – that should be enough for a kitchen and a living room, right? It somehow works for others with much smaller ones.

Because rooms are defined and planned, yes. Room length remains the same.

With you, it always sounds as if the houses shown here in the floor plan forum are all uninhabitable.

Always! ... Oops: I totally engaged with your design and your ideas (as I do with almost all) and ONLY corrected THE ERRORS. I myself would have designed a totally different house despite the same conditions like couple, childless, generous etc. aside from that.
But it is your house... so I’m out.
