Hello everyone,

We are building in Marl, NRW. Since I’m not a fan of basements and stairs, we decided on a bungalow without a basement. Fortunately, we managed to get a 964sqm (0.24 acre) plot with a sufficiently large building area.

So, here is our little house: a 168sqm (1,808 sq ft) bungalow with white plaster and gray-black shingles. We will be heating with a Rotex air-to-water heat pump (with underfloor heating). A Pluggit ventilation system ensures fresh air inside the house. The patio door will be completely flush with the floor, making it theoretically wheelchair accessible without any problems.

The main bathroom will have wood-effect tiles. Very similar ones will also be used in the hallway and the guest toilet to keep the look from getting too colorful. The living room, dining area, and kitchen will be fitted with laminate flooring. Our little one’s bedroom will have a simple carpet, and the currently unused second children’s room will get the old vinyl flooring from our previous apartment. Our bedroom will also have laminate.

Regarding the furniture layout: Our entertainment center will go on the drywall partition wall that stands in the middle of the living room, and in the corner opposite will be a large U-shaped sofa. On the back wall, there will be a catwalk for our three tigers, as well as a desk (for now). The utility room will house the washing machine and dryer, as well as the self-built litter box and cat feeding bowls.

About our habits: We mostly spend our time together in the living room and kitchen. Our bedrooms are mainly used for sleeping. Over time, I hope Junior will gradually spend more time playing in his room.

Current construction status: The “ground floor” is completely finished in terms of masonry. Today the roof frame was put up. Next week, the gable and chimney will be built up. The following week, the roof will be covered and possibly windows and doors installed at the same time.

What do we see here now: the drawn house placed onto the real plot of land, at the stage of the most recent planning with a hip-and-valley roof and the terrace you asked about earlier today in the other thread?

No, the picture does not show the real plot. But this is how it will look in the end. The shell of the building is almost finished, and the roof structure is already installed.

I have attached a few construction photos of the plot. In its original condition, after the embankment, then the foundation slab, and with gravel on top.

I quite like the floor plan for a bungalow. I would change a few things here and there, but overall it’s good, especially since it doesn’t have that long traditional hallway.

Best regards, Yvonne

Hello,

I would reconsider installing laminate flooring everywhere. We currently have it in the children's room and will choose vinyl next time.

Best regards
