ᐅ 130 m² bungalow with double carport on a 600 m² plot?

Hello
I would like to ask if it is possible to build a bungalow with a living area of 130 m² (1,400 sq ft) and a double carport on a 600 m² (6,460 sq ft) plot of land, while still having some lawn area left. Or is that rather unsuitable? The dimensions are 25 x 25 meters (82 x 82 feet), but one corner is slightly cut off, so it’s not a full 25 x 25 meters.
We don’t need a vegetable or herb garden; we just want some lawn space for my nieces to play and sunbathe.

Thanks for any advice.

Best regards

Thank you.
We are also considering an L-shaped design, which the architect will try to develop further. The carport seems fixed since it can be placed directly on the property line. Leaving the child’s room downstairs is currently not an option. He is not even one year old yet and won’t be moving upstairs anytime soon. The plan is for him to have his own little space upstairs when he is around 8 to 10 years old (half storage and half his room). Therefore, the child’s bedroom is not 20m² (215 sq ft) or larger, but relatively small, so we can make better use of the space later on.

There is also the option of a straight staircase with stepped storage space underneath. Maybe I have to give up on the long straight staircase... Are they available in a somewhat wider, more spacious version? It doesn’t seem very practical to me. But perhaps I just need to visit a staircase showroom, one that actually displays stairs... If you want to carry an exercise bike upstairs there, you probably have to maneuver quite a bit...

Of course, you can build upon the design. No design is ever completely finished... you receive a sketch from the architect so you can review it and mark any changes if needed.

I thought you wanted a bungalow, in which case the staircase would play a minor role.

Well, then he’ll just have to wait until he’s 12 and wants to bring girls home. Until then, he’ll have to make do with what’s there... grrr

Hmm, well, I was mainly thinking about good accessibility because without a basement, things inevitably end up in the attic. And carrying something like a Life Fitness elliptical machine (not one of those cheap ones from a hardware store) up there isn’t exactly easy. Or maybe I’m just overthinking it a bit…

That wouldn’t exactly be one of my criteria for stair design
