Floor plan design for bungalow with basement - 140 sqm - slight slope

After 2 years of experience with bungalow and vestibule,
the vestibule door and cloakroom door and the short wall can go,
with underfloor heating the house does not cool down quickly, and the whole feels spacious,
kitchen wall to the living room and to the dark hallway can also go

And then move the entrance to the current cloakroom and turn the kitchen unit 90° to gain a bit more space in the right part of the house. Then you could swap office and bedroom and have a private sleeping area on the right. The office could then also be more loosely separated from the living room (perforated wall, large sliding door, etc.) to gain more spaciousness.

And then you could also place cooking/dining in the north and living/office in the south. Private area in the east. That would at least create a sensible zoning. If you are a bit bolder with room relationships, you can also save traffic areas, walls, and doors.

Single-storey with pitched roof and basement seems to be a new trend. I'll spare the remark about how much height a hip/gable roof would provide over the house width to, for example, accommodate an office there. At least the basement stairs with 18.7 x 25 cm will be nicely sporty.

Built-in wardrobe as a coat cupboard in the niche?

Sleeping/Bath/Child should be together and form the "private" area. Also an office with WC. The office should later (if needed) also be available as a guest room.

Place cooking/dining in the north ...

The kitchen must remain close to the entrance in the south. Access will be from the south. I don’t want to have to carry all the groceries through the house first :eek:. The entrance was originally planned in the east and the garages accordingly in the northeast. Unfortunately, the garages can only be sensibly placed as implemented in the design (due to the slope location).

Attic conversion is not allowed and also not an option for us.

At least the basement stairs with 18.7 x 25 cm are nicely sporty.

What exactly do you mean by that? Could you be a bit more specific here? We certainly lack experience regarding the correct/ideal dimensions.

Built-in wardrobe as a coat closet in the niche?

Yes, also a possibility.

Where have you planned the terrace and such?

Measure the stairs according to what you find comfortable. I find the hallway narrow and dark. To me, there is already too little space next to the stairs. With a closed kitchen, the office needs to be near the bathroom, the kitchen must be facing south, so there isn't much room left to maneuver. It looks like a small apartment. That's a shame. The house is not exactly small. The large basement, the attic. Are you planning living/dining with an open gable/gallery?

What hobby do you have for the large workshop? I would definitely plan a door to the garden there, so you don't have to walk through the house.

The house is supposed to be functional primarily for us and not just look "nice."

A long corridor has never been functional and never will be. You can convince yourself of that, sugarcoat it, or simply think about it. Ultimately, there are countless ways to avoid it with good planning.

I don't have the site plan electronically at hand right now.

Create it yourself, draw it... that makes you familiar with the property ;)

Just to clarify. The three basement rooms in the north will have regular windows due to the slope, so they will also get a bit more daylight.

That was clear – we can read plans ;)
