Hello, we are planning to build this year.

We already know exactly what we want.
An L-shaped bungalow with a pitched roof and open ceilings in the living and dining area.

While looking for inspiration, I wanted to ask if anyone here has built something like this?

If so, I would really appreciate photos and feedback.
(Please also include photos of the rooms with the open ceilings.)

Thank you.

Hi, tomorrow I will take pictures of my house. I have an open ceiling on the upper floor; rooms like these are amazing. You never have to worry about what would normally be stored in the attic.
I will upload the pictures tomorrow.

Do you know the Haus Hauscompangie?
I often asked here in the forum for reviews but received hardly any response.

That doesn’t surprise me; the Hauscompagnie is largely unknown south of the NDR broadcast area. However, it’s hardly worth the effort in the long run to adapt their designs to German regulations. Accordingly, I often see doubts in forums about how sustainable their market presence in Germany really is. I don’t really see a clear "advantage" with them either: the main difference seems to be that their style is more "Scandinavian" than the German mainstream. On the downside, they apparently fail to gain any significant market share south of the Main River.

If you want to build Scandinavian-style, you need land. About 800 square meters (8600 square feet), because the houses are single-story and spread out. This is often not feasible in southern Germany. Land is expensive, too expensive for this kind of building.

Scandinavians prefer very large living areas with smaller bedrooms branching off, while here it is common to build children’s rooms of around 20 square meters (215 square feet). In addition, many southern building plans or zoning regulations do not even allow the Scandinavian style, sometimes requiring two-story houses instead. This is also a matter of visual habits. Anyone who has never been to Oksböl or Lundeborg and is used to high knee walls, shallow gable roofs, and roller shutters may simply find a Nordic house exotic. Karsten

No one else has anything like this on offer?

Isn’t this popular right now?

I thought bungalows are becoming modern again.

I visited some friends today who, in their bungalow, raised the ceiling everywhere to 265cm (8 ft 8 in), including the doors, in addition to having an open roof structure in the living/dining room.

The sense of space was incredible. I’m going to do that too now [emoji4] ( happy )

Not exactly: what's modern for home builders is to offer models aimed at people who are building again as they approach retirement or well-earning singles. So, yes to bungalows, but mainly for couples without children or single individuals.

For traditional young families building houses, something else is considered "modern," namely (except in countries with plenty of land) lots that are generally too small for bungalows.
