Bungalow floor plan 160-170 sqm with basement

So if the problem with cabinets and shelves weren't there, I would actually find a round house great. Acoustically, a sphere would of course be even better, but I imagine walking in it would take some getting used to.

I can understand the desire for a spacious hallway area, as well as the idea of a separate children's area - but the design is actually just an example of poorly used space. Insisting on exactly this design with only slight suggestions for improvement - which are simply not possible with this design, since too many things are flawed - already makes me feel sorry for the architect. I also suspect that all further comments will be rejected, but I will give it a try. A consistently separated children's area can be very nice; I know some that were built in the seven-figure range. An acquaintance even went so far that the children have their own rooftop terrace as a covered outdoor playground. There, the children also have their own bathroom and, above all, a real private area. (And the adults, too.) And not at the front door. Essentially, you have planned the private area, which can be well established in a well-planned bungalow - and is common in real villas - as a passage zone for the public area. I also find the dressing room to be a terrible solution. Entering the bedroom through an asymmetrical, windowless room is not an access to a private wellness area in my opinion. The generous walking areas also make the living space feel rather inhospitable, just like the furniture was squeezed into corners in the plan. I hope you will work with an architect who is both skilled in planning and diplomatic, and not someone who blindly implements the fantasies of the builders when the money is right.

I can't even give as many likes as I want to

Once again about the children's rooms ... I'm just asking ... how do you imagine your front door? Glass elements? What should be the principle for the children's rooms? Separate from the master bedroom - right? Then take another look at my examples.

And now I just saw the guest toilet corner ... your wardrobe doesn't fit in the planned length, otherwise you'll be squeezing into the guest toilet corner.

... if the house were round ;), you could slide into the corner ;).

Yep, exactly children's rooms separated from the parents' area.. Front door with glass elements on the sides.. But I can see... it's probably nonsense... I somehow lack the imagination to express the wishes appropriately

I somehow lack the imagination to express the wishes meaningfully

No, the wishes are clearly defined and also feasible. However, no one here understands, and it is not defined as your wish, that everyone and everything walks past the children's rooms and does not grant them peace in the evening. That they are practically exposed to the open concept entrance/living area, and if they need to use the toilet, they have to expose themselves to every visitor and also outward towards the street, thus having no privacy and intimacy. You are not the only client with your wishes, only you are certainly not one who implements them well.

I can understand the desire for a generous hallway area, also the idea of a separate kids' area – but the design is really just an example of poorly used space. Insisting on exactly this design with only slight improvement suggestions – which simply aren't possible with this design, as too much is fundamentally flawed – already makes me feel pity for the architect. I also suspect that all further comments will be met with rejection, but I'll give it a try. A consistently separated kids' area can be very nice, I know a few that were built in the seven-figure range. An acquaintance even went so far that the kids have their own rooftop terrace as a covered outdoor playground. They also have their own bathroom and, above all, a real private area. (And the adults too.) And not right at the entrance door. Basically, you planned the private area, which can be well created in a well-designed bungalow – and is usual in real villas – as a passage zone for the public area. I also find the dressing room a terrible solution. Going through an asymmetrical, windowless room into the bedroom is not an access to a private wellness area in my opinion. The generous walking areas make the living space look rather unhomely, just as the furniture in the plan was crammed into corners. I hope you meet an architect who is both skilled in planning and diplomacy, and not someone who blindly implements the homeowners' fantasies as long as the money fits.

Thank you very much for your remarks..

We are not fixed on this design at all and I am very grateful for every tip... We are also aware that compromises have to be made... I have just not seen any floor plan so far that in any way even comes close to our wishes.. Currently, I have found the site Extradom.pl.. there are also interesting bungalows/floor plans with pictures.. so you can better imagine it visually....

The architect did not receive a sketch from us (was advised here) Only the room program... I myself am very curious about the results... Maybe I am just stressing unnecessarily and something can really be done with the plan...

But I do not want to lose several weeks unused, only to start afterward....

Certainly, a very well separated area could be created through a second floor... Our thoughts are as follows:

We want everything on one level ourselves.... Let's say 40-50 years (If we are lucky... :)

As long as the children are small, a completely separated area ground floor/upper floor does not make sense.. because then you run up and down the stairs back and forth.... At teenage age, that would certainly be top for about 10 years....

After that, they might study or move out, etc.... Then the whole second floor would be completely empty... With the basement, we would create more flexibility, because many rooms would be there... Also laundry room etc... Through 2-3 living rooms with daylight, the kids would have places to retreat during their teenage years or later... We would still live on one level..... The kids move out...-> the basement does not bother, and the 2, 3 rooms stand empty,... doesn't matter then....

Our wish, therefore, everything on one level, with a slightly separated kids' area......

Certainly not everyone sees it that way..... doesn’t have to be...
