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

Of course! Thank you very much for the drawings!

Please

I like the arrangement with the guest room opposite the front door a bit better, even if the children’s rooms become a little more generous here.

Why do you want to prioritize the guest room, which is rarely used, like that?

Sorry, the square meters in my draft are not correct. I only measured them from my copy. However, the rooms appear less convoluted. The children’s rooms have become somewhat smaller,

What bothers me about the bathroom and bedroom are the many doors, which we then slam against each other, and additionally recessed walls are a bit too much for me.

The extra wall does make sense. That way you can surely continue sleeping undisturbed in the bedroom when the partner uses the dressing room and the bathroom. Of course, you can omit the wall; then you have exactly as many doors as in your draft.

In my opinion, the less convoluted corners are an added value and should also have a positive effect on the costs.

The bathrooms can still be optimized; these are just placeholders.

, I like the design by best so far. I would seriously consider swapping the utility room and guest room. For the utility room, shorter pipes to the bathrooms, and for the guest room, the windbreak wall made of sand-lime brick and the wall to the open space made of drywall. The idea that the children have left the house, work/guest moves into the children's room, and the drywall guest wall is removed and added to the open space. Our 4th room was built without walls, i.e. large open space that can be divided again, Just for your information, our floor plan

It is indeed a gable roof, and the sauna had to be included for us and the tub removed

Ok, all right! So, we sent the architect a draft beforehand. But while planning, we completely turned everything upside down with her, and no room is like it was before. We said that we wanted an open kitchen, bathroom off the bedroom, and that the size of the children's rooms (equal size, 14 sqm) was important to us. But she drew and planned it, and we really liked it!

That sounds like at least a creative architect, but probably still one whose services are included by the construction company (?), and the measurements thus are not your own idea, but hers. Unfortunately, nowadays it is common that architects receive no clue about brick dimensions and their relation to feasibly crafted room dimensions during their studies anymore. This leads to problems on the construction site, which unfortunately are no longer reported back to them (and ultimately also disappear under the plaster, which does not make them better).

We hired an external construction supervisor from the Homeowners’ Protection Association; that also makes me feel safer. But I will do my homework! Thank you for the clarification!

The expert cannot cure the problem of botched work pockets that are already created in the planning. For that, he would have to autonomously (assuming the corresponding responsibility) arrange on site to build differently than the approved plans. However, that cannot be desirable. What he can do is only ensure that, for example, the mortar application is done professionally (where I am skeptical because of experience-based connections when walls are planned so ignorantly in one construction company).

The children’s rooms have become somewhat smaller,

In honor of the victims of the Shoah, I would find it nice if this abbreviation for children’s rooms were avoided.

Of course, you are right there. The size is the same. There is nothing against that.

So then, the old man can not only complain but also demonstrate. Of course, only partially within the framework of my local pro bono consultation hours, using the example of the wall development at plan top from your floor plan. The window openings are okay as they are, so I only dealt with the wall sections in between. "Stein" (also in plural, not "Steine") means the unit of measurement in my drawing. A physical masonry brick in the structure of your construction wall shell (i.e., the inner shell here intended to be made of aerated concrete) is "long" 50 cm with the dry joint gap, while the unit of measurement "Stein" is 25 cm. 1 Stein in the dimensioning of my drawing is therefore half a physical brick. In the example: between the dining area and the kitchen window, 65.5 cm of wall section is planned, thus one whole and one cut brick (whose leftover piece cannot be sensibly reused elsewhere in the brick pattern). Here I would therefore suggest 3 Stein (= 1.5 physical bricks), which is 75 cm. In the clinker masonry shell, window rebates are planned, probably one half header (= quarter Stein). Specifically, in this example, 87 cm of cladding will be applied in front of the 75 cm inner masonry shell (24 cm brick length plus 1 cm joint, all times three, plus a halved clinker brick, whose remainder forms the beginning in the next course). This is no rocket science, not even a Bavarian high school diploma is required for architectural studies, this is taught at the latest in the third year of elementary school mathematics class. That’s how much ears of graduates should be pulled when they look dumbfounded. The fantasy measurements converted into Stein are each marked in red, the corrected values in green, always related to the dimensioning in the plan, probably here to the construction wall shell. Since the wall thickness results from the brick pattern, the brick saw must inevitably be used at the corners of the house — preferably on the construction wall shell, as the facing wall shell is more intricate and after all should remain a visible masonry. At these two points, you can therefore ignore my green numbers (6 or 5.5 or 8 or 8.5), since cutting is unavoidable here.

So make up your mind where you want to make compensation for the wider wall section between the dining area and kitchen window. I would recommend changing the total house length of 17.15 meters to 17.115 or 17.24 meters. The architect needs to adjust her fantasy measurements less strictly for the room dimensions because in your case all interior walls are non-load-bearing and will be addressed in a later step (and in my opinion they are not yet finalized to be fully built here anyway).
