Bungalow120 opinion tips floor plan

Apart from the layout of the rooms, the floor plan suffers from the unsuccessful zoning (public - private) and the central, dark distribution hallway. And no, glass doors don’t bring it the brightness.
Further information is still missing, I’m curious whether the plot with the quasi-square floor plan really harmonizes.

Zoning =)
Zoning is basically a matter of taste ;) isn’t it?
I think that cooking-living-eating fits well together. The heating/storage room fits well next to the kitchen, and through the door from the vestibule you can easily transport/store the groceries.
The bathroom was deliberately planned to be secluded. (so a secluded living-dining area, where you usually sit with guests)
The sun sets at the bedroom and children's rooms and these rooms are (in my opinion) also well positioned, since you can get from there to the bathroom or kitchen without a long way.

The "dark distribution hallway" serves its purpose :)
(We have had it like this in 2 apartments so far)
Here I only want to walk through and not place anything big. There would still be room for a shoe cabinet (depth 30 cm).
Glass doors are indeed planned... funny...
That way it won’t be quite so dark.

I will discuss the plot in a new thread at some point.

Thanks for your contribution "Wanderdüne" ;)

I think a children's room is okay, as there is still expansion potential in the attic for older children. My sister handled it the same way. Now they have finished the attic. In my opinion, small children do not need their own rooms and are well served with one large shared room. That is also enough when they get older.

Nevertheless, I would rearrange again to separate the bedrooms and the bathroom from the public area, and I also think a separate guest toilet is important!

And it would be important to have a site plan with building boundaries so that it can be determined whether the only possible house shape is or whether a different layout could also be significantly better zoned.

Phew, I don’t even know where to start. Honestly: Take the plan, crumple it up, and throw it away.

Why only 1 children’s room for 2 kids? Better to have 2 smaller ones, but each with their own space. Is there no guest toilet? Why not? One toilet for 4 people is too few. And I wouldn’t want guests in my main bathroom either.

I find square floor plans not so practical for bungalows because it’s harder to zone. I tend to prefer elongated buildings or even L-shapes for bungalows. But of course, it also depends on the plot and its dimensions.

And why a hip roof if you’re thinking about expanding upstairs anyway? A gable roof is definitely better because you then have straight walls on 2 sides where you can install normal windows.

Grab your computer and google around a bit. You’ll definitely find nicer and more functional floor plans than this one.

Phew, that’s hard for me... but it wouldn’t be a problem since nothing is fixed or signed yet. The planner I want to carry out the "building project" with always says nicely... "Paper is patient." So changes are possible. It would be good, though, to roughly stick to these exterior dimensions and the square meter number, because otherwise, we’d have to recalculate costs again. (Which wouldn’t be so bad if necessary.)

I think 1 children’s room is acceptable. My uncle, who has 2 kids (who share one room with a max of 15m²), doesn’t think it’s bad, and the kids are super happy and have no problem with their bunk bed. Surely there are many other people who grew up like this and weren’t harmed by it ;)

Guest toilet. It’s really a good thing but not absolutely necessary. My guests are welcome to use our bathroom. And one toilet for 2 adults + 1 child and possibly a 2nd child + occasional guests is, I think, sufficient. (Considering that many people don’t even have a home.)

About the hip roof: We find it more visually appealing, and since the house is very exposed, it is, as far as I know, also better because of weather influences. But honestly, I’m also thinking about whether it shouldn’t be a gable roof after all... THANK YOU!

We have looked at many floor plans, and usually the staircase is missing or something is different where then our ideas don’t fit... so this one came into being... Feel free to show other similar floor plans (120m²). We are open to everything ;)

What exactly is the big staircase for? A nice spiral staircase might also do. That way you save a lot of space and can rearrange the rooms anew.

big staircase: to simply and easily get upstairs :) The attic will initially be used as a "storage room," where you might also carry something larger up... Later it will possibly be converted and partially used as living space. The small storage room (for cleaning supplies and/or crates of drinks) under the stairs is also quite practical. (I know it like that from my parents' house... you see... I'm influenced by my "home".... :) )

Thanks for your contribution

Here are a few pictures on the side. (Just as a reminder: the dimensions of the rooms are in the 1st post -> 2nd attachment) I will soon create a "better" drawing with dimensions.
