Bungalow 135 sqm: Floor plan + windows

Well, then I have to ask: why do you first complain that I don't accept your help.

I'm not complaining, please read everything in its entirety.

So if I now list how I actually did accept it, suddenly it doesn't matter.

I didn't write "doesn't matter": it's your draft - you have to know.

And yes: I am indeed annoyed about some of the time I invested, which someone else here might have implemented and used better.
But you'll see that yourself if you don't know how to arrange your couch or kitchen or whatever (see above).

Draw all the furniture to scale as you want it. We have 10 m for cooking, eating, living. The half meter that I wanted more is massively missing. Your living space is currently a cooking area like a holiday apartment, a mini table for 2, a small living area, and around the corner an unused dance hall. There would be room for more. Move the living area into the dance hall and you will have a decent kitchen, space for a table by the kitchen. For that, the windows must be changed.

Take your plan, look at the scale, draw your desired furniture to the corresponding scale on a sheet of paper, cut it out and place it in your plan. Then you will get a feeling for the remaining space and what would fit where.

I can only recommend that you accept the advice regarding the layout for furnishing. For example, I also see the kitchen as critical. This is important for the building application insofar as real furnishing may still lead to shifts in windows or changes in the size of windows.

The entire room is only about 4.50 x 2.30m (I would have to measure it again)... that's what I can base myself on. And I'm happy that it will be bigger in the future.

Have you ever calculated how many cabinets you need including the sink area and stove? And keep in mind that the stuff usually increases over time rather than decreases.

it's also annoying to run after it afterwards... so I just sketch it out myself on paper and leave it incomplete in the planner's plan.

So you already drew it? Please share it.

Your living space is currently a cooking facility like a holiday apartment, mini table for 2, small living area and around the corner an unused ballroom.

There would be room for more. Move living into the ballroom and you have a decent kitchen, space for a table near the kitchen
For that the windows have to be changed

I do see the space problem regarding kitchen and living room as well. Ultimately, I still somehow stick to the room layout because:

I have about 4 meters of bookshelves. I would rather not place them directly in the line of sight (but also don’t want to build a separate room for them – I would never go in there). Hence the ballroom – for exactly those books, seating areas, places to put laptop and stuff.

I would rather not place the living room facing the street, but rather towards the garden. Therefore, swapping the “ballroom” with the living room is not my first choice.

What might still make sense is a swap between kitchen and ballroom. But then I would be the first to enter the book chaos and would have to walk through the entire apartment with my groceries to get to the kitchen. So I would have to move the entrance. Then again, we would no longer have a connection from the hobby room to the living room, which would also be a pity.

All of this is therefore the reason why the floor plan is the way it is now. At the moment it seems to me that this can’t work at all. That makes me a bit afraid – the planner wants to hand the floor plan over to the surveyor tomorrow...

Regarding the holiday home kitchen: The kitchen drawn in the planner’s floor plan is not correct like that. I don’t know how big such a kitchen must be for normal people, we cook about once or twice a week… a reasonable work surface and the appropriate appliances are enough for us. As for kitchen utensils to be stored: I’m rather minimalist – I don’t keep anything unnecessary. I hope that quite a lot can be stored on 6 meters and possibly with an island or so.

I can only recommend that you accept the advice regarding the furnishings layout. I also see the kitchen as critical, for example. For the building application it is important in that real furnishings might still lead to shifts of windows or size changes of windows.

Our last drawing related to that attached… maybe you can see something from it The window sizes are no longer 100% correct on the west side, double-wing was not possible there due to regulations, but this should make no difference…

There is now an island 1x2m drawn in the kitchen – that could also be a table, we are basically open depending on what fits better. We have not yet come to the kitchen planning, and an island is certainly not cheap.
