Floor plan bungalow 140 sqm

Hello everyone,

we have received a floor plan from the general contractor that we are actually satisfied with. However, we do not like the position of the bungalow on the plot. We find that the house is placed too centrally on the plot, so we waste a lot of garden space in the south. We would like to move the house further north (3m from the boundary). But then the double garage no longer fits. Therefore, we need your help. Possibly the floor plan needs to be changed after all?

First of all, it would make sense to align all plans UNIFORMLY, ideally so that North is always at the top. And, attaching again as an image file would also be good. This is especially better for those who access the thread from their mobile devices.

Regarding the floor plan .. a first glance .. little hallway space .. I like it, but a closer look says that probably all rooms are sized below the desired room dimensions.

Unfortunately, more precise measurements are missing.

I would also position the fireplace rather towards the living area behind the hallway door.

Omit the vestibule door, it only makes everything cramped.

The utility room is certainly supposed to include the building services ... the room seems particularly worth checking to me whether everything planned there really fits and whether you can actually walk through it.

In the floor plan, the house recesses approximately four meters behind the garage front, in the site plan it is only about two meters (which would take the window away from the guest room) and for a 3m boundary distance it could even be about 1 to 1.5 meters in front of the garage front (then the bedroom would also have no window).

What do you expect us to do about this?

I don’t like the whole thing. Such a big house so cramped.
Let’s start outside. Let’s let the garage protrude a bit at the back and give it a back door with an outdoor socket facing the lawnmower parking from behind. We’ll also attach the satellite dish on a galvanized mast to the garage. If you need to get to it, no one has to go on the roof. So now the hut is automatically closer to the street.
Inside, we take the parents’ playroom out of the embrace of child and guest and put it where the single children’s room is now. Then we try to put the kitchen and utility room together on the north side, since the utility room with washing machine, canned goods storage, sink, and similar belongs next to the kitchen; a thousand agricultural buildings can’t be wrong. The utility room will be on the outside. I consider a double garage to be a waste of land and money. Such a second car has to be okay to be parked outside in front; the utility room has a back door for visitors with dirty shoes. I’m attaching our non-right-angled 110. You can imagine giving it an angle because you want two kids’ rooms plus guest, so you need one more room than we do. Karsten.

.. and what do your statements and floor plan sketches now have to do with NanDe's requirement profile?
