Floor plan of an accessible bungalow

Regarding the floor plan that you like --- rotated so that north is at the top of the plan, like the other floor plans in post 141.:


I’m afraid the house is even wider than 13.74 m and then doesn’t fit at all with a disabled-accessible carport.

Regarding the adapted GU floor plan ...
The living room is getting worse and worse, furnishings not adapted at all.
Otherwise, unnecessary and obstructive corners are created in the disabled-accessible children's room due to the new entrance situation.

Why does it absolutely have to be an angled bungalow?

I think a W-bungalow with 130 sqm and 2 children's rooms, 1 single bedroom and 1 guest room fits better, because every room should have a window and with the rectangular bungalow there are too few exterior walls.

I think a W-bungalow with 130 sqm and 2 KZ, 1 EZ and 1 GZ fits better, because every room should have a window and with the square bungalow there are too few exterior walls.

I have not seen a rectangular bungalow yet where a room _didn't_ have a window. Except if it is a bungalow over 259 sqm, where then maybe a storage room doesn't have a window. You are fixated on the non-perfect. Sure: the conditions are by no means ideal, but Kerstin's ( ) suggestions make more sense and improve the quality of life in all aspects compared to this angled bungalow. If you want a niche on the terrace, then take a privacy fence.

I think a W-bungalow with 130 sqm and 2 single bedrooms, 1 single room and 1 shared room fits better, because every room should have a window and with a square bungalow there are too few exterior walls.

I have never heard or read a bigger nonsense... How do you come to that? Most houses are rectangular and usually, if they are detached, every room also has its windows.

I'll be a bit provocative now, but maybe it helps:

So far the question why it HAS TO be a corner bungalow has still not been answered. In principle, there are no compelling reasons for it, on the contrary: every additional corner also costs more. So: a right-angled bungalow with the same floor area is cheaper than a corner bungalow. You can save even more if you reduce the floor area and build two stories. Especially if it is supposed to be a barrier-free, disability-friendly house, you should avoid every corner, every angle (and every wall that is not absolutely necessary), a corner bungalow already has more than needed. Why insist on this house shape when the requirement is disability-friendliness?

kbt has made in my eyes (and I'm not alone in this) a very good, practical suggestion. If I remember correctly, you did not even remotely respond to it. Whatever... I won’t go into that any further now. You came up with another variant of the suboptimal corner bungalow.

In my opinion, you are resistant to advice...

You also asked for opinions about the bungalow on Reha-Kids, so I know that your son cannot control the wheelchair on his own and that this also probably won't be certain in the future. Possibly he can manage it with some restrictions, but he will probably not become an advanced wheelchair user. That means: especially someone like that needs as straight and wide "traffic lanes" as possible. Straight and corner bungalow... well, be honest, that just doesn't fit.

I'll say it straight and free now: you have fixated on the corner bungalow, that is your wish. Unfortunately, you have a disabled child and now the dream has to be adapted accordingly. It will always be a compromise solution.

I’m not reproaching you for that, really not. You spend a lot of money on your own house, so you should be able to fulfill your dreams. But please be honest and say clearly: we want a corner bungalow because we like it that way. We want to plan the house according to our wishes but as disability-friendly as possible. That’s okay. You are not only parents of a disabled child but also a couple with your own wishes and ideas and you have every right to that. But then kbt wouldn’t have had to take the time to work out a good suggestion that anyway never has a chance because it’s simply not your dream house.

I would really wish that you make a clear statement here, otherwise this will become a farce.

Either you primarily want to build a house for your son; disability-friendly and suitable for the next 20 years. Then say goodbye to the corner bungalow and take another look at kbt’s design.

Or be honest and say: we want a corner bungalow because we like it so much. It should be adapted as well as possible to the needs of our disabled son, please help us with that. That’s a clear statement and totally okay, but then it is no longer a house whose top priority is "disability-friendly."

I have never heard or read a bigger nonsense...

Nonsense, well, let's say: naive reasoning. An L-shaped floor plan has more surrounding walls compared to a rectangular floor plan, yes, and therefore more walls for windows, that’s clear. But every coin has two sides: where this creates more building depth, it also results in rooms that are not fully illuminated through their entire depth. On balance, it's six of one, half a dozen of the other, so neutral in terms of the "principle advantage."

What you definitely "get more" with the L-shaped floor plan, however, is a more expensive roof. Usually twice as much if you want a hip roof for aesthetic reasons. A hip roof L instead of a gable roof over a rectangle costs about as much extra as the construction costs for the area of the study and child’s room 2, just to put it into perspective. You won’t make that up with DIY work on the carport.

I think W-Bungalow with 130 sqm and 2 children’s rooms, 1 single bedroom, and 1 master bedroom fits better because every room should have a window and with the rectangular bungalow there are too few exterior walls.

You're not serious - are you? Show me the room in my rectangular proposal that doesn’t have a window .

I haven’t said anything about it for a while. And the parallel draft kbt is really okay. But I have already understood that it is supposed to be L-shaped. That is just set. I do my thing, no matter what others babble. Lindenberg. Okay, I stand by it and consciously accept its disadvantages. You can also get the angle to be accessible for the disabled. Onlyver will definitely be more expensive. Of course more expensive. What compromise do you want? Cheap, L-shaped, accessible for the disabled. Hip roof, that won’t work. By the way, the house you photographed from a catalog yourself I also think is quite good.
One more thought. For us, the dream was also first an angle. Then it fell victim to the budget situation. And now we live rectangular. And since you are mostly inside the house and don’t always walk around it, I have to say, from the inside it doesn’t matter at all whether L or rectangle.
From the inside also totally doesn’t matter whether gray windows or not, you’re looking at the same garden, no differently through gray. Old Bauhaus rule, form follows function. Karsten
