Lisa.MHello.
We are currently in the process of selecting a plot of land. Originally, we planned to build a two-story house, but as it stands now, it looks like all the plots where this is allowed will be gone. Most likely, we will only be permitted to build a single-story house. Since we are not fond of sloped ceilings, we are now leaning toward a bungalow. The floor area ratio is 0.35, and the plots are between 600 and 700 square meters (about 6458 to 7535 square feet). Would a bungalow with around 140 square meters (about 1507 square feet) plus a terrace and a double garage be feasible? Does the courtyard area count toward the allowed building area? Or would you advise against a bungalow because it is usually much more expensive than a two-story house?

With a floor area ratio of 0.35, it should be possible. The terrace is included. The garage counts if it is attached to the house. Prefabricated garages placed next to the house are treated like carports. Pay attention to the building envelope. A 140 cm (55 inch) bungalow usually has an L-shape. That should be acceptable. No, it is not significantly more expensive. At least, it shouldn’t be. More foundation slab and bigger roof, but no concrete ceiling, no scaffolding, just simple masonry work. These factors should balance out. Karsten
