The floor plan is not suitable for everyday use. This is a holiday home floor plan.
Because: the entrance area is too small to accommodate a family, the living room is too narrow and has friction points with the children's rooms. Children's rooms are not places of retreat.
That's funny, I also thought right away that the whole thing is useless.
What I read from you does not make me very optimistic. The budget is too tight, the building plot is still a field, the floor plan is a disaster and overall there is a lot of ignorance.
Better leave the floor plan to a professional.
Overall, I would advise you to find someone you trust (preferably a dear family member) with expertise to supervise your project. Sorry if you feel offended, but this whole thing seems to me to be going badly wrong. If you are not careful, the money will be spent quickly and hardly anything of the house will be finished.
Once again please: which one of you has this handicap—one of the children or one of the builders?
And long-term at 50, 60?
If the stairs are already a problem now.
Stairlift and 1.5 floors?
I would really go for barrier-free to low-barrier. On the one hand, in 25 years the step to the terrace will already be a torment, who knows?
A bungalow is suitable for aging and a walker is not a co-criterion if there is enough space.
250,000 including incidental construction costs will at most be a shell house. A bungalow is somewhat more expensive than a 1.5-story house with the same living area.
What about the outdoor facilities, carport, tool shed?
So the problem with the stairs is the woman’s. But she can do everything else: jogging, yoga, or climbing mountains (no joke).
We are in exchange with family and acquaintances—there is also an architect involved. We listen to everything and then make our decision.
No one is offended here.
Regarding the budget, we are calculating at the top end but have more budget available if necessary.
We are not stingy etc. We just want a small, cozy bungalow and nothing exaggerated.
The conclusion now is—we have no success with the dimensions 15.04 x 8.79 m, so we will now try 15.04 x 9.42 m and put the cat trap (laugh) to the side.
We will show it again here and simply listen to all opinions. We can now close the topic of handicap.
