Floor plan of new rectangular bungalow with 130m² living area

Hello, after just over a year I am contacting you again. After many political and corona-related delays, the building area will now finally be developed, and it should be possible to start construction from March 22. Meanwhile, the desired child has arrived and since there will only be one child, one children's room is sufficient for us.
Furthermore, we now favor a bungalow instead of the 1.5-story house as the price is similar and we prefer everything on one level.
We will probably build with Town & Country as the company (the franchisee) is based directly in the village and has already built half of the houses in the previous new developments in the village, as well as the house of good friends of ours, and in conversations with the residents so far we have not heard any bad experiences (there is always a bit of something, of course).

House design
Who made the planning: mixture of construction company and self-designed
What do you particularly like? Why? I already quite like the right side as well as the living/dining/cooking area
What do you not like? Why? I could live with the left side with children’s room, bathroom, etc., but I see room for improvement, the children’s room should if possible be on the south side and ours somewhat separated from it, hence the current solution with the bathroom in between
Price estimate according to architect/planner: 250,000
Personal price limit for the house, including equipment: 300,000
Preferred heating technology: gas + solar thermal

If you have to forego, which details/extensions
-you can do without: pantry, possibly second shower in guest bathroom, L-shaped living/dining/kitchen area if not otherwise possible
-you cannot do without: dressing room/office, children’s room in south - not directly next to the parents’ bedroom

Why did the design turn out the way it is now?
We first decided on an angled bungalow, but since the surcharge there is very high compared to a normal rectangular one, we thought about what we need, studied other floor plans and ultimately ended up with this one. Since we have been out of the topic for over a year now, because in the meantime it looked as if the building area would not come, this is now the first floor plan of many we have drawn that roughly suits us. Unfortunately, we could only see 2 bungalows in model house parks so far, which were all a bit smaller.
According to Town & Country, 17.5cm interior walls are now mandatory in bungalows due to previous cracking, so all interior walls in the design are 17.5cm. The outer walls are currently 30cm; I am still considering increasing to 36.5 or 42.5cm but I am not sure if it is worth it.

Since the tool unfortunately does not provide dimensions freely, here are the rough key data: 13.5m width at the street side above and 11.1m length, I will try another tool with dimensions in the next few days but for rough planning this should suffice for now.
Many thanks in advance for your help.

I am a bit confused by the furniture dimensions. The house is quite compact with 130sqm, but the furniture suggests much more space. It probably won't be as open and spacious as it looks. The wardrobe in the second draft is practically unusable... if you place the desk crosswise, you can't enter the room. I only accept the desk dimensions, maybe also the kitchen furniture, but everything else seems too small to me. If I were you, I would check the doors, bathroom elements including the wall installation in terms of dimensions, and move the furniture 10cm away from the walls (plaster and circulation air).

Hmm .. a few measurements would greatly help in assessing the floor plan. I’m just saying approx. 300 cm for the bedroom with a standard double bed is questionable.

I would make the house more elongated and move it as far as possible to the northeast. And then probably shuffle the rooms again. Parent area more to the northeast, child more to the southeast, and common rooms more from the rest southeast to west.

Please name the house type from Town & Country.

I had relied on the furniture dimensions being somewhat accurate, but now that you mention it, I will check again tomorrow and use another program with dimensioning for the further procedure.


I had already thought about that too, but then I find it difficult to plan the driveway or parking spaces because there is the intersection with the curve in the northwest, so I had pushed it as far northwest as possible. With the longer but somewhat narrower version, I was concerned that the hallway would become too long. I will try that tomorrow when I find time. Possibly then also the house entrance on the west side?

Yes, definitely .. entrance on the west side, rather in the first third .. I don’t have any other ideas right now, you have to try. But this small side street to the southwest-west should be quiet .. you can orient a garden there.

Alright, then I will get started on that and try rearranging the furniture and adjusting sizes, as well as planning a completely new version with the entrance on the west side.

The dead-end street is blocked by bollards in the lower quarter and is practically only the access road for the property at the bottom left; after that, due to the blockage, it is only a footpath.
