Sounds interesting, flat roofs are not allowed here, and as I said, we prefer something different aesthetically. The parents' bedroom on a different floor than the kids' rooms is probably only conceivable from the teenage age onwards... right now that wouldn't be possible. Also, I don't want to have to walk up the stairs to the bedroom every time. Thanks anyway..
It's not about costs, and nobody wants to take your bungalow away from you - both are your choice.
Still, the fact is that you inevitably seal a lot of ground area, thereby reducing your plot size (and 660 sqm isn't that big), and you end up with the typical bungalow problems of a lot of traffic area and little light inside. The basement doesn't improve that... on the contrary: if it doesn't work properly on the ground floor, how is a light well or light court supposed to illuminate the basement interior? That will be a cave!
How about a Bungalow 2.0: a more elongated building with a steeper gable roof, and sauna, relaxation room (library), etc, in the attic? Possibly with an open space to the living area. If you want an L-shape, complemented by a glazed flat-roof cuboid extending into the garden? This one on top as a terrace with a view and exit from the sauna?
So only "just" 120-140 sqm downstairs, and another 40-50 sqm of luxury from the parents' bedroom and wellness upstairs? And thus significantly more of the beautiful plot with the beautiful view?
