Floor plan corner bungalow 150m² with expansion possibilities

It may be that the architect has a firm conviction. Or too many clients whom she cannot satisfy. Or or. Or the client is resistant to advice, at least resistant to discussion, or/and could not really say why the things are a "must-have." As a service provider, you face the client, the client stands in front of their wishes, listens to arguments. Personally, I feel the real reason for the separation is missing

I see it that the building couple here lacked / was disturbed in / lost the "The-architect-understands-us-feeling," which I consider in any case a good "argument" (in the esoteric sense) to part ways with this planning partner. However, I would then look for another person for that. An amateur planning with the carpenter as a rubber-stamp I do not consider sensible.

Furthermore: the basic framework is being adhered to here. Perhaps that is more of a hindrance?

A house form dogma definitely has a significant potential to become a burden for the planning success.

In the meantime, we had also planned a house with 2 floors, from which, for example, the layout of the living area was derived. However, we were simply not happy with 2 levels and are now back to the bungalow.

I had already considered the straight hallway, but I then felt it was much too long until you finally reach the living area.

I’m not talking about building two floors right away. Most houses (let’s exclude the 2-story town villas), work well with a converted attic. Especially if you don’t know exactly what will happen, you should keep a conversion reserve in the attic for children and guests, if not already finished. In any case, it’s not an alternative to not building children’s rooms when you are young and don’t know what you want yet. Or how do you imagine it when the offices have to give way? What about home office then? And honestly: even if you then redesign the children’s rooms into offices, it is wonderful for home office to have nice rooms up in the attic where you have a bit more peace to work while the kids are running around downstairs.

Especially when you don't know exactly what will happen, you should still reserve an expansion space in the attic for children and guests, even if it is not immediately developed.

It is also intended that the attic can be developed into children's rooms and even a second bathroom; the roof pitch of 35 degrees plus the allowed 50cm knee wall at that width is sufficient. A proper staircase can later be built in place of the folding ladder; I know several cases where this was done among acquaintances.

A proper staircase can also be built later in place of the folding staircase,

Are you serious now? Where should it even go here? You would be filling up your hallway so much that it would hardly be passable. Of course, you can enlarge a floor hatch afterwards, but then you have to plan for it. There are also supports resting on the load-bearing walls, load-bearing beams, and then obviously a lack of space in a hallway that already takes up way too much valuable living space.

where is it supposed to go here? You fill up your hallway with it so much that it is hardly passable anymore.

Wouldn't that be enough? With an open staircase, there's still enough space in the hallway And the static must also be planned accordingly in advance, I understand that already :)
