If it gets dark inside a bungalow - which it is not supposed to be anyway - then it is at least just as dark on the ground floor in a two-family house - only you cannot have skylights there. Am I making a mistake in my thinking?

Smaller base area, more distance to the neighbors, more light incidence.

Yes.

I have also said it before: if you build a house with a 3-meter boundary distance and then get a hedge so that you don't have to look at the neighbor's fleet/garage, then the windows are practically overgrown. With a smaller house footprint, you increase the distance to the property boundary and also get light through open space into the window.

No, that's how it is.
Anyone who builds a bungalow between city villas or taller houses here has bought two plots of land, because of the floor area ratio and light in the house and space around the house.

That is true, those who move the position of the exterior walls further into the interior of the property potentially have more light. Thanks also to . This can be more than compensated for by utilizing the possibility of light from above. That is significantly more difficult with an additional floor above.

Anyone who bases their happiness on the ugliness of the neighbor’s car might as well hang themselves right next to it.
