ᐅ Optimization of the 108-Angle Bungalow Design by Town & Country

AfraleaHello everyone,
we are planning to build the Winkelbungalow 108 from Town & Country.
I see three main issues:
1.) Bathroom
The bathroom is too small. There is no space for a cabinet, and I would prefer a large shower. Town & Country suggests relocating the bathroom to the guest room. That works perfectly since we don’t need a guest room.
2.) Kitchen window
The kitchen window is too small. Town & Country can install a larger window here. The cost is reasonable – perfect.
3.) Passage between kitchen and living room
We don’t want an open-plan kitchen but would like to have a passage to the dining area. However, the way Town & Country arranged it (a passage without a door) is not very practical since activities in the kitchen disturb people in the living room. Installing a door there doesn’t really make sense either, as it would create three doors close together that would interfere with each other.
Do you have any ideas for designing the passage or the kitchen? Or has anyone built this bungalow and can share tips?
Best regards, Afralea.

Uh, links are not allowed, and your link includes not just one floor plan but several variations. So it is difficult to understand what you mean. ...
I find it hard to understand how people in the living room could be “disturbed” while someone is working in the kitchen. Please explain that.
Does Town & Country not offer any custom modifications?

Hello ypg!
Thank you very much for the quick response! I had read that posting links is not allowed. However, the text editor offered me the "insert link" option. Unfortunately, I cannot edit the article. Dear moderators, please excuse the post and delete the link!

The kitchen is separated from the living room only by an open passage. It is only about the acoustics! Odor should not be an issue since we will install a very good exhaust ventilation system. When the blender or kitchen hood is running, people in the living room are disturbed.
I find the house beautiful and very well planned, but this aspect bothers me.

chand198611 Mar 2018 08:26Hey, a few questions:
1) Is there a floor plan available with dimensions?
2) How will the house be oriented on the plot (north-south-east-west)?
3) If you replace the guest room with a bathroom, what happens to the former bathroom? How is the resulting space distributed within the house?
Regarding the kitchen: At first glance, I would suggest a proper door from the kitchen to the living room and no door to the hallway. Instead, have an opening from the hallway to the living room. Problem solved...

I see it more like this:
The former bathroom would become my new laundry room and pantry.
