Bungalow floor plan

As for the 6 sqm for the utility room, I currently have a terraced house where the utility room, combined with a guest WC, is even smaller at about 3.5 sqm. But it's completely sufficient for us. Gas condensing boiler, washing machine, water softener, everything accommodated. I find 6 sqm almost too much :D

But you want 2 children and nowadays the technology needs rather more space than a small low-temperature heating unit with an 89-liter tank.

Sorry, but 100 sqm can be better divided than around an aquarium. In this floor plan, a proper dining area is missing, and in the bedroom, try fitting a normal bed plus a wardrobe.
If the attic is expanded, escape routes are missing in the rooms... As far as I know, every living space must have something like that... not to be done with Kemenaten skylights.

The focus here was apparently only on a living area with a view of the TV and aquarium.

Give up on a hipped roof so that you get proper windows upstairs.
In my opinion, 100 sqm on the ground floor is too little if you still want to include an office, a stair hall, and 2 toilets. The house is bursting!

Unfortunately, comments like start over again don't really help us. I've already tried quite a few things but nothing better comes out of it.

I'm sorry... I also take back the idea of switching to a gable roof. Otherwise, I would suggest a dormer, but that’s not allowed either. Is the plot part of a senior living complex? Has the plot already been purchased? Is the child planning definite?

What you have presented here is not functional. I will expand my comment and also mention unnecessary circulation space in the living room and the illogical placement of the fireplace. Not to mention the costs...

Tip: strike out carport and garage, strike out fireplace and chimney, strike out reinforced slab for aquarium (no idea if that’s necessary, but take it as representative for all unnecessary additional costs) and strike out sliding doors. Instead, more square meters of living space on the ground floor, then there is also space for a child. Emergency stairs to office and storage room in the attic. The windows must also be bigger—already according to standards, but also just feels right.

Be glad that the result of your solo effort as a layman is not being praised here. The weeks have been wasted—that was very well illustrated to you by with the roof area. If you tackle something yourself that actually requires a degree, you have to acquire the knowledge and read all eventualities thoroughly and not just roughly plan several rooms under a hipped roof.

A standard floor plan can be more functional. The space problem is very clearly recognizable—I would have already gone to the building authority a long time ago and asked how families are supposed to find their space with this development plan. However, with the floor area ratio, quite a bit is possible...

What kind of example properties have they planned? Usually, new build projects always have a few houses as examples.

Good luck if the plot has already been bought!

Good morning again

actually, they don’t directly lead to a good design, but if followed, they do protect against a bad one.

How about a visit to an architect, builder, or something similar?

Hello,

thank you for your feedback, even though it was very harsh :D
But there were definitely a few helpful tips for me. Shorter route bedroom-bathroom. Shorter route to the kitchen. Larger dining area. Larger bedroom.
The window distribution and number are not yet fixed. The house might also be extended by half a meter to enlarge the living/dining area.

On the upper floor, at least 2 children's rooms and a shower bathroom will now be accommodated. With the current building shape and a knee wall of 1.25 sqm, I come to 60 sqm, additionally a dormer of 2 m length could be added.

I do not want to remove the chimney, nor the garage with storage room.

Thanks for further feedback.

I like the ground floor layout better, although I don't really see the necessity of the slanted corner.

However, you should always furnish it as an example and also create the upper floor. Because due to the roof slope, it is still not quite easy to cleverly distribute the rooms so that you can actually shower in a shower, etc.

By the way, a knee wall height of 125 cm means that the bottom edges of the windows start no earlier than there. Not exactly child-friendly, having no window view at all in the first years of life.

- Utility room too small (you should plan well if possible - we also thought that our 8 sqm would be more than enough; now one wall is completely taken up by the water connection, heating, and heating circuit distributor, and we are glad that we did not plan even more compactly. - Dressing room without a window I find questionable; generally, you probably won’t be able to fit that many cupboards there. - Entrance behind the garage certainly looks rather dark. - Who besides you will be using the bathroom? If no one, you could also connect it with the bedroom; then you wouldn’t always have to run through the hallway. - The staircase should be checked carefully; in my opinion, it is depicted too small (especially too narrow); our staircase opening is 2.25 meters wide and is already borderline. - Depending on the material, it is better to plan 17 cm or 24 cm interior walls (there was recently a thread on the topic of soundproofing).
