Floor plan of an accessible bungalow

I think the desire for a back door and a laundry room downstairs is completely normal.

I agree.

How can Dundas speak so dogmatically about door No. 2! On the other hand, I think a house without a side entrance is a design flaw, for us. We have now lived in our cabin for almost three weeks and have hardly used the front door. Partly because the backdoor has a handle and you cannot lock yourself out without a key.
I find the desire for a back door and utility room downstairs completely normal.

And if you had a child in a wheelchair, would you leave them alone in the car or in the yard, only to wheel them through the main entrance later after you are inside, or...
Better... of course: a barrier-free main entrance —_as well as_ a barrier-free side entrance are planned.... maybe on 200 sqm... but maybe simply side by side, so that the hallway doesn’t become too large.
Maybe you will also donate the necessary euros to the OP...

Don’t forget: you are not planning your own house, a house is being planned here with a limited budget, where the focus is the child’s disability.
I always find it freaking cool when suggestions are made that cannot be implemented. For whatever reasons.

Zizzi, maybe you shouldn’t just look at my floor plans, but also read my text.

Technology goes under the roof and that creates more than enough storage space.

That was the very first thing I read. It is possible, especially if there is a lack of space, but I think it involves more costs.

WC ... is exactly 4 cm longer than the WC in your floor plan
There is nothing against placing 2 sinks in my bathroom plan, but the question is, WHY?

It is bigger, as you can see, but a washing machine and a dryer are also supposed to be placed there. The second washbasin must be height-adjustable and wheelchair accessible. [/QUOTE]

Second entrance from the carport constricts the carport, costs space in the house, costs money and how often do you really arrive exactly in the rain and can’t you then walk those few meters around the corner?

In the first plan there was a window there, but since I found the door more useful and according to our contact person it doesn’t make much difference in price, I chose the door.
Anyone who has a disabled person in the family can better understand how important it is that wind and rain don’t come into the quiet of the house or inside.

Basically, there is first the question of whether you can let go of the angled bungalow, can imagine eventually putting work or child 2 under the roof.
Is a gable roof even allowed? With what pitches?

I naturally find the angled bungalow nicer and it has more light because there are more exterior walls. So far I liked the angled bungalow more because of the advantages mentioned in post 96.

... exactly, that was the thought behind the large room. And, to have enough space there so that the family can always come together. Table big enough so that you can drive up with the wheelchair and everyone else can still move freely. Direct straight path from the hallway to the terrace, etc.

Long hallway that serves as a connection between the rooms or long living room where you spend more time. I rather think the living room should be more open and square.

I think I would find it nice if the wheelchair child had direct access to the terrace. Evolith mentioned something like that, and I think there is a lot of sense behind it


Mobile greetings from on the go

I also find that very nice. I even made the window facing the garden in Child1’s room a bit lower in my first plan, so he can look outside from his wheelchair. Although it would also work from the living room

And if you had a wheelchair child, would you leave them alone in the car or in the yard, only to wheel them through the main entrance later, after you have gone inside first, or...
Better... of course: a barrier-free main entrance as well as a barrier-free side entrance are being planned.... maybe about 200sqm... but maybe just side by side, so the hallway doesn’t get too big.

I always find it totally awesome when suggestions are made that cannot be implemented. For whatever reasons.

The doors of the main entrance and the side entrance should be equally wide, barrier-free, and secure. From the SE you first enter the utility room and then the hallway, but from the ME you enter the foyer first. I consider the SE a good investment.
