Floor plan of a bungalow with 140 sqm - does the storage space fit?

Thank you for the opinion! Can you send me a photo once? That would be great! My husband is more in favor, I am still undecided.

Not today anymore. I'm out and about. I'll try tomorrow.

Therefore, I have now inquired about Studiobinder (as recommended here), which I can expand in the area of the ridge. The little over 5000 euros is the surcharge for this.

Well, this does not make it expandable yet. You will only be able to walk through better with it. Depending on your height, you can also stand upright half a meter next to the ridge line.

Our house provider has planned a hip roof for the bungalow.

But not because you like it better, but because many customers want it that way – belonging within the standard zero-eight-fifty peer group gives many builders a kind of security. But even their kids actually find it cooler to have a treehouse in the children's room.

Yes, we still have to weigh whether it is worth it for the few things. Our basement with 10 sqm is by no means full. Currently, there are 6 boxes and a few garden toys and tools from my husband, who wants to build a workshop in the garden.

How about dry roof trusses as an interim solution?

We just talked and we both actually like the hip roof better. It feels more homely to us. Photovoltaics on the roof on the south side is also not a bad idea, even if there is not much space there.

You probably mean alternatively - yes, that can be done.

We involuntarily ended up with a hipped roof on our bungalow (thanks to the development plan). By now, we wouldn’t want to miss it. This makes the attic huge, and we’ve only used about half of it. Everything is stored there, from sun umbrellas to children’s clothes to seasonal decorations. I really need to tidy up up there. What I totally miss, though, is a proper staircase going up. For that, I would gladly sacrifice one of my storage rooms. I just need to soften my husband up a bit for that. It’s hard to say if your storage space will be enough. I’d consider it too small. Just the washing machine and dryer take up an incredible amount of space next to the technical equipment. If you add a photovoltaic system, a bit of wall space will be taken up by the inverter. Space for a shelf or cabinet is tight. About the children’s rooms: 14 sqm are great, but given your tight space, you should consider shaving off 1 or 2 sqm of that. Our two kids live just fine in their 11 and 12 sqm rooms. I just have to rearrange creatively from time to time, depending on how they play. But it’s sufficient for them. And with the older one (8 years old), the flood of toys is slowly decreasing, and he effectively only needs a closet, bed, and table. The rest is anyway clogged with dirty laundry and all sorts of stuff, making it unusable. The 4-year-old daughter has her own rolling container with craft supplies that is maneuvered to the dining table when in use. That way, one hand is free for a generous dining area again. Then about the terrace: I think I read that it’s supposed to face north? Think that over carefully. There’s nothing better than being able to enjoy some sun outside in the evening. It’s also no problem if you place the terrace next to the driveway. That shouldn’t be too much of a disturbance now. I don’t know what your budget is, but it might make sense to convert part (or all) of the attic and plan in a proper staircase. That way, grandma and the study can find space upstairs, and you’ll enormously ease the situation downstairs.
