Bungalow 148m² site planning / floor plan planning

I also like the living spaces (dining / living) best like this.

Moving the washing machine is an option. I would rather buy very quiet appliances. I did the same with my refrigerator.

In the bathroom by the bedroom, I have already moved the loudest pipes (toilet, shower) to the other wall. I would probably also make the wall to the bedroom a bit thicker. The question is how the bathroom usage is distributed with children. Presumably, you are the last ones in the bathroom?

The hallway is too narrow – the house needs more length here (which will soon become absurd).

Light is not a problem – you can place a glass element next to the door. This can definitely be before the stair entrance. The door itself with a large glass section.

Remove the wall between the living room and dining area. Big enough?

But maybe start over again. I still have an idea...

Our refrigerator is 5 months old because we just moved and sold our old kitchen. It doesn’t bother at all, the same goes for the dishwasher. The kitchen in our rental apartment is directly connected to the living room, but the dishwasher is so quiet it doesn’t disturb. Washing machine and dryer are very loud. Something might be done about the dryer, but the washing machine is a Siemens IQ800.

In the evenings my wife and I are the last ones in the bathroom; in the mornings we go in together with the children since they are still small.

You’re right about the light. You can put a glass element next to the door.

If I mentally remove the wall it’s big enough. I’m keeping it anyway, because of odors and separation.

Here’s a version 17m x 10.5 + entrance hall. I don’t think it’s bad at all, especially because the family would have a lot of space in the living area. Also, you don’t get run over by the car. The washing machine room could be small if the technology can go upstairs. But there is one problem. No light in the hallway. You might have to work with Velux spots here. Or just open the ceiling in the hallway, as I already suggested once, and then double-wing windows. That would be pretty cool.

How wide is the extension? I ask because the garage is (too) far forward (I mean toward the street). It can’t be more than 5m wide up front if the house is 11.5 or 12 wide.

2.25m. The plot gets wider towards the back in a trapezoidal shape, right? Unfortunately, I don't have the exact angles. But based on the boundary lengths, I made a sketch. The house fits easily on the 3m boundary to the street. Of course, it's very imprecise. If you have your survey documents, you could measure the angles...

Hmm, is the washing machine really such a problem? You don't turn it on at night anyway, do you?

The house fits easily against the 3m boundary to the street. Of course, it is very imprecise. If you have your surveying documents, you can measure the angles...

Correct, the plot widens towards the back. Still, for a width of 6 (garage) + 10.5 (house) + 2.25 (extension) + 3 (distance to the boundary), it is not enough. Yes, you don’t have the exact angles and neither do I. I will call the building engineer tomorrow. Maybe he can send me something. Thank you very much!!!

Katja, you come into the 3m distance zone on the right with your bungalow.

I once again question the development of the attic... and, if it is to be a hip roof after all, my variant 1 again with 22° hip roof and widened carport/storage room area.

This is a good floor plan.

Advantages: - for me, very good location of the terrace - living, dining, kitchen feel huge - bedroom with dressing room nicely large

Disadvantages: - main bathroom and children's bathroom relatively small and with little storage space - since my wife and I share the office, it is a bit small - relatively long, but the carport/storage room area still makes it look good

My wife also prefers to have a main bathroom that is used by children and parents. I don't mind and I don't see it as a disadvantage either. It's a matter of taste...

I know, today the question about the roof shape came up.

Since the question about the gable roof has come up often, I went on a bit of a search. Here is a flat gable roof with an elevated knee wall. The question is how does this affect the costs compared to the hip roof? The house you see here is only 13x12m. I find it visually nice, but I wonder how it looks if the house is, for example, 11.5x16m. I also wonder how it would look if later a terrace with a roof is added?

Roof pitch/Knee wall:

25°/ 55cm

Living space under the roof would be 56.20 here, so very, very good...
