I have now read the entire thread again and summarized where you, , might want to reread or reconsider asking questions, etc.
I’ll start with an answer to the question, “Why definitely a corner bungalow”
I think a W-bungalow with 130 sqm and 2 kids’ rooms, 1 single bedroom, and 1 master bedroom fits better because every room should have a window, and the rectangular bungalow doesn’t have enough exterior walls.
Hmm... is there any other reason for the corner bungalow? I really have not found any other reasons besides the statement “It should be a corner bungalow.”
We have thought of the office more so that my wife, as a tax clerk, can also work from home (home office) or in the future run her own office part-time. Otherwise, I think a working niche is completely sufficient.
Plan the stairs right away. You will never get them so cheap again. (For me, 9600,- gross extra cost complete with finished upper floor, stairs, small hallway, 1 Velux upstairs.)
I can tell you: going through this, the stairs and all, was the smartest decision in my last 10 years of life. The floor serves for drying laundry (Velux open, stander there). Saved 500,- on a dryer. It now serves, full of wooden shelves from Hornbach, as an almost inexhaustible storage space for everything. Downstairs in the house nothing lies around, everything is nicely tidy. Up there it’s bone dry, excellent.
We want the attic to be expandable so that if we need an accessory apartment in the future (in 25 or 30 years) for the children who are not there yet, the option is available.
Therefore, we want the roof pitch to be 35 or 40 degrees, the knee wall high enough so that the attic can be well expanded. We initially left out the stairs, to gain a bit more space on the ground floor.

( .. unfortunately the permalinks under each post still do not work, I am now manually putting them together - first a quote, then I know the post number, then I assemble the link.. really annoying)
In addition, the smooth exit to the garden and street, driveable shower, and spacious bathroom.
That quickly adds up to quite a bit.
Basically, you are thinking about more than one more child, so you should definitely keep the option of an attic open and prepare for it.
You really should think about how (even if everything could now be implemented at this house price and on 130 sqm) the rooms fit in with your family planning. Will 3 children then share the one kids’ room?
Or will you, when the house is finished, start immediately to expand the upper floor and thus install the stairs?
Then you might as well install them right away, right?
In general, just read page 10 again and think about it.
, your entire post 54 at the bottom of page 9 somewhat relativizes everything again. No attic expansion anymore, probably only one more child after all.
Regarding the roof pitch and now the non-use:
So what now: should the house be flat or not?
35° is okay, but 40° for a bungalow is already on the borderline of being monstrously tall in proportion. And without expansion, just for looks, pure waste. For that money, you would get some square meters more downstairs (i.e., for example, twice as much space between the kitchen rows).
I especially want to point again to .
Also, you should take another look at Yvonne’s ( ) first proposal in .
I also want to refer again to the rectangular variant with an extra office and 2 kids’ rooms: and following post.
And finally
Regarding the carport, if possible make it a bit wider, moving the house 30 cm would bring
.. Karsten, that is not possible with the width of the corner bungalow because to the south the 3m distance limit is already reached. So either the bungalow has to be 30 cm narrower or the driveway stays as it is. Although it remains open how a threshold to the utility room will be overcome with a wheelchair.
