Bungalow 148m² site planning / floor plan planning

You summarized well

Normally you always drop out when the OP seems resistant to advice... so hats off to the perseverance

I have basically dropped out myself, precisely for the reasons given.

As a reader, I have the feeling that the sheer flood of floor plan suggestions overwhelms the OP to the extent that they already couldn't decide and now have even more options.

I can now understand a BU that is characterized by little to no effort in the design

the woman should preferably log in here and express herself; some things that would eventually bear fruit with the OP are being crushed by the female side

Yes, as long as the subwoofer plays a bigger role for the end of the day than the washing machine

It's a shame about the great floor plan tips and drawings, but I think the OP should take a break here and gain distance. Then come back with clearer statements...

And instead of Dad, confront his wife with the designs and comments.

But the OP wants an upper floor where you can stand - we agree on that?

We don't agree with the OP on that at all, because he (with himself or with his wife?) is not even agreed and sometimes wants to be able to stand in the attic and other times doesn't want one at all. I don't even know if he himself has noticed that in between he briefly mentioned that he might as well just go for a town villa - which, in my opinion, would make the builder happiest of all, since it has become a general favorite model by now.

Edit: Probably better as an angled bungalow with a hip roof.

It is certain that a hip roof in the angle comes at an even higher cost.

Normally you all drop out when the OP seems resistant to advice... so hats off to your perseverance.

I am now wondering how much longer the builder will have patience, overall the course strongly reminds me of Morbus StanSch (after the green forum then again in 288 posts here: )

Don't understand your pity for the developer. He doesn't even get anything from the discussion. And asking for permission is really legitimate. I always do that too.

I don't understand your sympathy for the developer.

No sympathy – but he is a businessman, and if a customer is undecided for too long, another one quickly becomes just as likeable to him. Then another property comes into play, and most of the considerations distilled up to that point become meaningless.

You don’t need an additional knee wall for your floor area.

Basically, you don’t need one if the roof pitch is chosen steeper. In my example, however, it is only a 25° roof pitch, so a knee wall does make sense in this case.

Oh, right!

A completely new approach:
Crossbeam with flat roof extension.

- Technology on top
- Division into kids’ and parents’ area
- Space under the stairs could still be converted into an additional storage room
- Bay window in the living room naturally optional
(The stairs are not a landing)

What is still missing:
- Lighting concept for the hallways must be carefully considered – maybe some can be taken from the roof with spotlights.
- Bicycle shed must be built separately – possibly a permit-free wooden hut?

Despite the width, the house should fit on the plot. I really like the shape, great layout of the rooms, living, dining area, kitchen is excellent.

I also think it’s very good that the garage is in the front.

At least among my top 2 floor plans!

Exciting thread.
After well over 200 posts, you don’t feel a step further ahead, although the usual hardworking helpers never tire and make suggestion after suggestion. Normally you all drop out when the OP seems resistant to advice... so hats off to the perseverance.

As a reader, I feel the sheer flood of floor plan suggestions overwhelms the OP in such a way that he already couldn’t decide and now has even more options. I also find a big problem: the wife should ideally log in here and express herself, some things that might ultimately work on the OP are shot down by the wife.
But the biggest problem is of course the roof and attic question on which everything stands and falls, and here practically nothing is progressing. It’s a pity given the great floor plan tips and drawings, but I think the OP should pause here and take a step back. Then come back with clearer statements in hand...

Overall, I have already seen many floor plans. Not only here, but also from the planner, the internet, etc. But you have undoubtedly made the best suggestions so far. I feel I am quite a bit further than at the beginning of the thread. But I realize that I learn more every day. That scares me!

If I can explain to my wife what advantages something offers and she doesn’t see major disadvantages, she usually agrees. If something is especially important to me, I do push through at times, but I want her to feel comfortable with the decision as well.

What else do I need to clarify regarding the roof and attic question? What could be done above and what type of roof do we want?

No sympathy - but he is a businessman, and if a customer is indecisive for too long, then another one quickly becomes just as likeable to him. And then another property comes into play, and most of the considerations distilled up to that point become worthless.

Not all properties have been sold yet and he will not find others who want and can buy around here that quickly. Besides, I currently call about once a week. So we are in contact. I would not worry about that at least for now.
