Hello everyone,
I have been following for a while and would now like to ask for your advice. We are still very much in the early stages and would actually like to build an L-shaped bungalow with approximately 115-120 square meters (1236-1292 square feet) of living space (for 4 people). The plot we have in mind is about 547 square meters (5889 square feet).
However, I am a bit concerned that the plot might be too small for our plans. The plot should also accommodate a carport for 2-3 cars, a pool (max. 3x5 meters (10x16 feet)), a wooden shed (for bicycles, garden tools, etc., max. 4x4 meters (13x13 feet)), and a sandbox. My partner and I are not very keen on gardening, but the above items should definitely have enough space.
What do you think? Is this all feasible?

This is what I meant: the modification creates the problem that you end up with rooms that use more square meters than originally planned, so the house needs to be enlarged.
You now have a very large corridor without natural light, which consumes nearly 10% of the living area, plus there is a pantry and an additional room used as a dressing area.
But I don’t want to spoil your enthusiasm for your ideas.
I just searched online because I remembered my neighbors’ house, which includes similar specifications to yours, and I found it: maybe you can find some inspiration there.

Thank you very much for the floor plan. I will definitely keep it in mind.
Thank you very, very much for your help. I wish you a pleasant evening.

18 m (59 feet) plot width
6 m (20 feet) carport
3 m (10 feet) building setback on the other side
leaving a maximum house width of 9 m (30 feet). ... A very simple calculation.
The first sample floor plan has a width of 11.71 m (38 feet) ... and is therefore already excluded.

The first sample floor plan is 11.71 m (38.4 feet) wide … so it’s already out. If I take the 8.60 m (28 feet) forward, then it should work, right?! The 11.71 m (38.4 feet) fits at the back of the plot again. Then there wouldn’t be a carport anymore.
