Bungalow floor plan design - ideas?

I would also plan the dining/cooking area as the central point, where the living room then goes, it will come naturally. It doesn't have to be attached to the dining room. Kerstin's suggestions are always good... I did sketch yesterday as well, but unfortunately had to stop. One more tip: take a look at the bungalows from Danwood and get some inspiration there – for example, the Brave 176 has two zones for children and parents. You can always find a way to add a storage room somewhere.

Best regards, Yvonne

I’ll go take a look right away, zoning sounds very good.

But, is this the correct location?

so that Geschwister-Scholl-Straße is more southwest than south .. or?

The wall that is already there is almost a V, pointed and on the floor plan. Does that mean you have planned the garage that far to the west? Can you drill through it as you like, tear it down or whatever? How high is it?

What distances to Geschwister-Scholl-Straße and Schmidts Gasse do you have to maintain with the garage?

But, this is the correct orientation? so that Geschwister-Scholl-Straße is more southwest than south .. or?

Exactly, the map is oriented north

The wall that already exists is basically a V, tip and on the floor plan. Does this lead to you planning the garage so far to the west? Can you puncture it arbitrarily, demolish it or whatever? How high is it??

Correct, the wall is on the two sides. We are allowed to demolish it completely. But my husband wants to keep it , natural stone base with bricks built up to 2m height. I would like it to be more open and also don’t find it visually fitting my wish, white house with anthracite , but we can still consider if bungalow as Tuscan style .

What distances to Geschwister-Scholl-Straße and Schmidts Gasse do you have to keep with the garage?

No distances have to be kept. Almost every plot there has border construction, which we are also allowed to do according to the municipality.

I'm bringing the post back from obscurity

The building application is in progress.

Not much has changed in the floor plan, among other things:
because cooking/eating as an absolute focal point seemed too chaotic after all when children have visitors
because the children/guests area is to be separated later
because sleeping and bathroom should be separate

However, we were able to assert ourselves with the municipality and the driveway with garage will now be on the alley side. The WC in the storage room is still only shown schematically, connections will be provided nothing more.
Now we are working on the kitchen planning and will probably eliminate the pantry. It was not supposed to be used for food storage anyway, but rather for the yellow bag and vacuum cleaner; other spots will be found for that. The question now is, should the kitchen wall just be continued or left as a niche in the kitchen?

I vaguely remember ...

The building application is in progress.

First of all, all the best for that – but that also means, complaining a lot won't help now ...

Now we are at the kitchen planning stage and will probably cancel the pantry. It wasn't really supposed to be used for supplies anyway, but for the yellow bag and vacuum cleaner, and other corners will be found for that. The question now is, simply continue the kitchen wall or leave it as a niche in the kitchen?

This little room for empties, glass recycling, etc. is an ally of coziness that I would keep there. Also, the wall layout fits well there. What I would rather change is opposite, behind the living room door, that odd corner where the wall alignment just before the entry cheekily bends from diagonal to right-angled again. There I would continue the diagonal line.

Honestly, I'm too lazy to scroll back: have I already expressed my irritation about building all the partition walls apparently as lightweight construction?

On that point, I'm also not sure whether this is really ready for application yet. I could also imagine that a classic static design with load-bearing walls might be more economical than imposing all that on the roof truss makers, also considering bracing.

Furthermore, lightweight construction is by no means trivial and also the wrong hope if it should be cheaper. Even for DIY work, aerated concrete is at least just as suitable.

Architecturally, I sometimes have the feeling that the boxy image of earlier prefabricated houses is currently experiencing an unexpected renaissance with some solid builders.

I would continue the diagonal alignment there.

We will also close the corner later in the run itself; my husband will install a "special fitting" there.

On that point, I'm also not sure whether it's really ready for application as it is. I could also imagine that a classic static structure with load-bearing walls would be more cost-effective than demanding everything from the roof trusses, also considering the aspect of bracing.

Moreover, lightweight construction is by no means trivial and is also the wrong hope if it is supposed to be cheaper. Even for DIY work, aerated concrete is at least just as suitable.

The general contractor is building the interior walls with aerated concrete or gypsum board walls. Since the static calculation is not yet finished, it is still being decided which wall will be what. But no lightweight walls made of gypsum plasterboard.
