Bungalow floor plan for 3 persons, 130 sqm, please opinions...

My tip (that's how we did it too): Find a finished floor plan from the internet that comes closest to your ideas.

So far, I agree and am glad that it worked out well for you.

Then you go to a general contractor/architect/... and have them look it over and incorporate your wishes.

However, I only see a sample design truly unfold its usefulness when you build on it very concretely, i.e. select one that can be finalized by shifting non-load-bearing walls and/or extending in the direction of the ridge axis. Free interpretations of floor plans — possibly even scaled — are not bad either, but are definitely a whole octave less suitable.

I still agree with that so far and am glad that it worked out well for you.

Yes, that’s true. It has to be very close. Like with us. We left out one wall and rotated one, moved one, and made the whole thing a bit bigger. But the floor plan stayed as it was.

If I remember correctly, there is a half-height wall in the dining area - wasn't that wall either not there in the "original" or full height?

[...] and made the whole thing slightly bigger. But the floor plan remained the same.

Scaling a floor plan, however, means that you basically reduce the design to the room layout (and the connection details). The structural analysis (and the heating load calculations) must still be "redone" as if you had created a unique design.

If I remember correctly, there is a half-height wall in the dining area - was it not there in the "original" or was it floor-to-ceiling?

It was a fully high wall panel, which mistakenly did not separate the living room and kitchen, but stood connecting them.

Scaling a floor plan means, however, that you reduce the design in a way to the room layout (and the connection details). The statics (and heating load calculations) must, however, also be "redone" as if you had created a unique design.

Exactly. But they should also earn some money that way.

My tip (that's how we did it too): Find a ready-made floor plan on the internet that comes closest to your ideas.
Then go to a general contractor/architect/... and have them review it and incorporate your wishes. That way you get an idea of what is technically and financially possible at all.

There we are again with Polish floor plan magazines :cool:

No, seriously. I probably wouldn’t do it. I wouldn’t specify a floor plan, but rather the wishes/ideas. The danger with a specified floor plan is that other ideas/floor plans won’t have any room.

Hello dear forum,

I have tried again. The office will initially serve as a children's room until he is a bit older. Later, a children's room with a small bathroom will be created in the attic.
