Optimization of Angle Bungalow 108 by Town & Country

Bungalow, I'll guess. 2 people. Kitchen very close to the living room. Arrange the kitchen so that a bench, table, and chair fit in. Then you eat there daily. If you have visitors and they actually demand food: then max... pass-through window. Or: grab it and carry it around. The bungalow is good, it just lacks a guest WC. The bathroom is too small in the original plan. But if you forgo the bathtub in the bathroom, it would be ok. Why do you need a bathtub? Please make the utility room smaller, it's already the wife's ironing room - then there is more space in the utility room for a freezer or we have a coat closet and a Billy with doors for canned goods and stuff inside. And MauzKatze her stuff. And a utility sink with a faucet. The recessed entrance takes up space, costs extra money and is unnecessary. Bungalows have 60-80 cm roof overhangs. You stay dry under them. Without it, a guest WC would be feasible. Karsten

Having to go through the living room first with the groceries would be stupid.

I would place the kitchen door immediately to the right after entering the living room. Where the sliding door is planned, I could imagine a lockable pass-through. With two entrances, I find the kitchen not optimally furnishable. That way, you could still have base cabinets and a countertop in that spot. Just like furniture in the living room where the sliding door would otherwise be. So I see advantages there.

Well, I'm also sensitive when it comes to kitchens...

But I don't perceive it as "having to go through the living room." You don't actually walk straight across it.

Hello everyone,
thank you very much for your responses!

:
A sliding door is a good idea, but it hardly blocks any noise. We've just experienced that with an acquaintance.

:
Attached is an idea for the floor plan with measurements, plot, and north arrow. We will convert the resulting space into a storage room.

Your idea with the door between the living room and kitchen is good, but then we wouldn't have any light in the hallway and also no space for the TV.

We somehow don't like the bathroom either. It is big, but nothing really fits in there.

We had seen the house live under construction, and we really liked it. We thought we could somehow solve the two issues (bathroom and kitchen), but it's not that easy after all. Maybe we'll have to look for another house after all.

I would also consider not placing the dining table upstairs in the plan, but where the living room table is now. It would also be a shorter way to the kitchen... you can take a look at Viebrockhaus under Maxime 500B. My sister chose the bungalow as a basis and is quite satisfied with it.



What she changed: Kitchen not open, but a wall was built instead, with access to the hallway. Absolutely no problems so far. Furthermore, they swapped the utility room with the wardrobe/WC area, which I find sensible. They prepared the attic for expansion (photo studio for my brother-in-law, office and children's room for the older of the two children), access via a quarter-turn staircase in the entrance hall on the right wall to the bathroom. Works well. Maybe as a suggestion.

: Thank you too! There are three of us and we need the children's room! Later, when it is vacated, it could become a bedroom. Then, in old age, the walk to the bathroom is not so long.

Carrying that stuff around is a good idea, that leaves plenty of space for furniture...

We don't need the guest WC. We often have guests, but we don't mind them using our bathroom. We're not that sensitive. At the campsite or in the gym, we even shower with strangers...

If I have money left for a second WC, I would provide a WC in the garage (workshop). You can then quickly reach it from the garden...

: What do you mean by "I would put the kitchen door directly to the right after entering the living room."?

Best regards, Afralea.

I meant that I would close the door from the hallway to the kitchen. Instead of the door to the living room, I would have an open passage. Directly behind it around the corner the kitchen door. If you are thinking of furnishing the living room as in the floor plan, I could imagine a lockable serving hatch towards the dining table.

Alternatively, like Karsten's suggestion. Kitchen door to the hallway, entrance from the living room closed instead. Then the serving hatch would be a must-have for me.

You get daylight into the side arms of the hallway poorly anyway. Large glazed front door.
