Bungalow floor plan design - ideas?

Do you like symmetry? Unfortunately, you can’t see that at all in the house fronts.

This niche that your husband wants to build into the alignment can’t be built into the alignment because the door in the slanted wall prevents it. Unless you really mean the micro niche, I mean the entire wall, which is supposed to measure 1.115. In my opinion, that is totally unnecessary. The alignment would be that of the 3-meter wall.
But the area is so tangled and full of corners... does the planner want to annoy you or get back at you?

Also, room-height sliding doors are not possible in the hallway because the floorboards/hallway door are in the way again.

You have no alignments in your design that can be used.

I usually hold back criticism once the building application is already running, but since we already had a discussion about this house, I can summarize:

Everything is worsened from the original, as much as possible; I see no improvements at all.

From outside to inside: I don’t understand the angled bungalow - the angle in a bungalow is supposed to basically have a use on the outside.

Position and orientation of the house - I’ll say less about that now because I forgot where the driveway is supposed to be here...

Symmetry or facade view through window positioning - here the windows are placed arbitrarily... especially the entrance front could have had more finesse.

From a somewhat revised but clear draft, now every possibility has been used to build something into a wall or corner so that you can no longer use that wall or corner as space for furniture. The hallway resembles the start of a labyrinth, everywhere protruding corners or doors in slanted walls get in the way of placing a cupboard or chest of drawers, to name one example.
You don’t even want to start talking about Feng Shui here.

In the kitchen, the table will be in the way, and about 3 x 3(?) I have, for example, in a two-person household just for the tall cabinets with shelves and sink.
The master bathroom, master bedroom, and utility room are the most prominent features the house has to offer. Everything else is hidden subordinate. Although the kitchen is supposed to be considered central, the sideways arrangement of the door negates that.

The terrace doors would be emergency exits for me but not a connection between house and garden.
I would advise anyone else to withdraw the building application here to save what can be saved, but we already had that discussion – so you know what you’re doing [emoji6]

P.S. I just looked at the hallway again: if you furnish the only wide wall with a cupboard, you’re putting a disturbing slalom object in there.
What immediately suggests itself here is straightening the guest room wall and building built-in cupboards in this wall with the two doors.
But rather, I would think about swapping guest room and bedroom so that someone can sleep quietly (for example, when sick) if it gets louder in the living room or kitchen.

Ultimately, it has to please you.

Just a quick note that you should pay attention to your views if you like symmetry,
The pantry can be painted without any concerns.
Keep in mind: the tub is pushed under the window here if it is wider than 70 cm, and only an 80 cm? shower is drawn.
Look at your walls, also the corners where you want to build something!

Mobile greetings from on the road

Yes .. now cooking/eating/living show exactly what I feared.

30 sqm kitchen, but no space between the stove and the sink.
Passage to the living area rather slalom, and that with a table only 150 cm long.

Why isn’t the customer storage room actually attached to the garage, which in the last drawing is planned as a double garage with already an additional room (garden stuff etc., I assume):

I don’t understand that, is a granny flat supposed to be created there? If so, why not put this customer storage room somewhere in that area, towards the garage?

Will the children and their visitors never use the kitchen? And well, a separate area also works like this. Yvonne already hinted at this at the beginning.

Right at the very beginning:

You are now indeed writing about sliding doors and everything should disappear behind them in the cloakroom. However, one must realize that there will probably be a three-part sliding door which will take up about 10 cm of space when in use. So definitely no room to hang coats on hangers next to each other. Which is still the most practical way to hang coats.

-----------------
Of course, you don’t have to accept all that, and yes, the building application has already been submitted, but building applications can be changed. Once the house construction has started, changes will be difficult.

I know that building applications can be changed, but we do not want to. The orientation of the rooms has several reasons. The storage room will serve as a storage room (a basement replacement) and not as a customer storage room. If I say now what my husband does professionally, probably hands will go up over heads right away...............

Subcontractor for kitchen installation. So, just as now, he will sometimes have to glue something in the evenings there or pre-assemble lamps, or sort his screws (I mean this ironically, as he also wants to retreat there but at the same time be within reach for me).

Everything on hangers in the cloakroom? No, definitely not with us. We have an 80 cm shoe rack about 50 cm high and a few hooks on 1 m wide for jackets. That should be enough for the entrance area, or to let it disappear behind doors.

The garage will only come after we move into the house. On the one hand, the general contractor did not include it in the building application (so it still has to be submitted later), on the other hand, the demolition of the existing building will only be possible in the middle of next year, as the land seller is still using it.

The granny flat can then be created if we keep the room layout as it is, but it does not have to be. We will see when the children have left the house in about 10 years.

Our kitchen table is even 1.60 x 0.90 m. But it will stand as it does now in the apartment, lengthwise.

Do you like symmetry? Unfortunately, you can’t see that at all in the house fronts.

Regarding the above quote (Tapatalk is sometimes very cumbersome):

This niche that your husband wants to build flush cannot be built flush because the door in the angled wall prevents it. Unless you really mean the micro-niche, I mean the entire wall, which is supposed to measure 1.115. In my opinion, that is completely unnecessary. The flush would be that of the 3-meter wall.
But the area is so tangled and full of corners... is the planner trying to annoy you or get revenge on you?

Also, room-height sliding doors are not possible in the hallway because the floorboards/hall door are in the way again.

You have no usable flushes in your design.

I usually hold back on criticism once the building application is underway, but since we’ve already had a discussion about this house, I can sum up:

Everything that can be made worse from the original has been made worse; I don’t see any improvements at all.

From outside to inside: I do not understand the angled bungalow – the angle in a bungalow should basically have a use on the outside.

Position and orientation of the house – I’ll say less about that now since I forgot where the driveway is supposed to be...

Symmetry or facade appearance through window positioning – here the windows are placed haphazardly... especially the entrance front could have used more finesse.

From a revised but clear design, every opportunity has now been used to build something into a wall or corner so that the wall or corner can no longer be used as a place for furniture. The hallway reminds me of the start of a labyrinth; everywhere corners jut out or there are doors in angled walls, making it hard to place a cabinet or dresser.
We don’t even need to start talking about Feng Shui here.

In the kitchen, the table will be in the way, and roughly 3 x 3(?) is what I have in a two-person household just for the tall cabinets with shelves and sink.
The master bathroom, master bedroom, and utility room are the most prominent things this house has to offer. Everything else is hidden away. Although the kitchen is supposed to be considered central, the side positioning of the door spoils that.

The patio doors would be emergency exits for me, but not a connection between house and garden.
I would advise anyone else to withdraw the building application here to save what can still be saved, but we’ve already had that discussion – so you know what you’re doing [emoji6]

P.S. I just looked at the hallway again: if you furnish the only wide wall with a cabinet, you create an annoying slalom object there.
What immediately suggests itself is straightening the guest room wall and building built-in cabinets in that wall with the two doors.
But rather, I would consider swapping guest and bedroom so that someone can sleep in peace (e.g., in case of illness) if it gets loud in the living or kitchen area.

None of this really sinks in properly for me, so I’ll just pick up a few points.

As far as I understood my husband, he will not make the corner/niche in the kitchen flush with the 3m wall. Instead, he will go perpendicular to the 45° wall into the corner. This creates a right-angled wall behind the door.

The guest room was originally on the east side. But my husband wanted it as a buffer between the child and sleeping. Which wall with two doors do you mean?

I am well aware that it is no longer an angled bungalow in the classic sense. It’s not that easy to fit the area into rooms; he still finds individual rooms too small. However, I didn’t want unnecessary traffic areas again. Everything has to be maintained, after all.

In the end, you have to like it.

Just a quick note that you should pay attention to your views if you like symmetry,
The pantry can be confidently eliminated.
Pay attention: the tub is pushed under the window here if it is wider than 70cm, and there is only an 80cm? shower drawn in.
Look at your walls, also the corners where you want to build something!

Mobile greetings from on the road

I have already marked some windows.
At least the handle must then be on the "right" side to open.
A 1.20x0.80m shower and a 1.80x0.80m tub are planned.

At the moment, I have reached the point where nothing works anymore. Apparently, the planner doesn't understand me, so the plans go back and forth several times until something is actually changed. My husband first says he doesn't care and then comes up with his wishes. It's going to be a stressful time with him. Next weekend we will put up the fence and remove trees. Maybe that will trigger something again.
For example, I could imagine swapping the corner storage, utility room, kitchen, and living room, but how???

Today I will try to enjoy my Sunday and try to clear my head from stuck ideas.

You write that the plan should no longer be changed, but I have moved things anyway.

Hallway somewhat larger, but suitable for storing things like seasonal decorations, household supplies, vacuum cleaner, mop, etc. Then things like bed linen, towels, etc. all centrally located.

The utility room should be approximately where it is currently. Washing machine/dryer included.

Both children's rooms now face southeast.

Storage/craft room for business now in the northern corner, also easily accessible from the planned garage. Simply into the corridor and straight to the children's bathroom if a toilet visit is needed.

Guest room, business storage room, and the children's rooms with children's bathroom would still be an apartment, even with an outside entrance, separable. Child 1 could then also be added as a guest room to the main house.

Kitchen central, but very easy to furnish. On the right side of the plan a tall cabinet block with a storage niche above a slightly elevated dishwasher. Cooking area with direct exhaust outlet and many drawers, sink/preparation island 220x120 cm and lots more storage space.

Dining table now planned at 200x100 cm, not in the passageway. In the dining/cooking area a large sliding door as terrace exit in the southwest. In the southeast also a floor-length door and a window.

Living area has become somewhat smaller but should still be sufficient.

Maybe this still gives some impulses.

EDIT:
I have now planned all doors with a width of 101 cm. To the vestibule and kitchen/dining room doors made of glass. To the children's bathroom a door with glass transom.
