Winkelbungalow, cover the terrace fully or partially?

So what do you think?

Terrace half covered is accepted.

But then the room would have to be bright enough, right?

I believe that the living room still gets enough light through the two small windows in the west (the living room is only used here from the evening anyway), but I would not like the dining area at all with a larger roof extension. It already has little light and is practically in the hallway, if I have looked at the plan excerpt correctly. For us, the dining room is the most important room during the day. I would also not like the kitchen with the small window. Despite the glass door, little light comes in there as well.

On the other hand, a covered terrace only makes sense if it is big enough so that the furniture with seat cushions or similar can stay underneath even when it rains. In the case of slanting rain, the 2.74 m might not be enough for that.

Just my layman's opinion.

As nice as I found your answers so far, it doesn't really help now, What do you find too dark, both variants?

Oh, sorry, no, the larger variant. I think the angled roof is okay. But of course it also absorbs light. That's just how it is with covered terraces.

Yes, it has both advantages and disadvantages. It is simply a combined kitchen and living room. But slightly separated. In the kitchen, it only works this way because our old relatively new kitchen is supposed to go in there.

I completely agree with my predecessor regarding the use of the dining area and the desired brightness there. However, not with the rest. We don’t always have summer and long evenings sitting outside; rather, the sun is mostly directly in the west, but in winter it sets in the southwest. And then you always have those 2/3 meters of this canopy in view when you look out of this window onto the terrace. You probably won’t see the sky but the wooden enclosure under the roof. It feels very dark and uncomfortable. So personally, I would choose the smaller version (rain usually comes from the west side, where you can also put up a cardboard wall) and on the west side of the house on the left, a floor-to-ceiling double window instead of the two individual small windows. You don’t need a window behind the sofa, and this way the dining area would also get a bit more light.
In short, regards

Yes, everything has its pros and cons. It is simply dining and living room together. But slightly divided. It only works this way with the kitchen because our relatively new old kitchen is supposed to go in there. I find the layout very conservative. If you are still open to improvements, you are welcome to post your entire floor plan here. In the pinned post under brainstorming, you will find the instructions
