Hello, I would like to finally share the first draft of our bungalow floor plan with you. Maybe you have some suggestions for improvements?
Some information in advance.
We are building a bungalow with a granny flat (for mother-in-law).
My goal was to design the bungalow floor plan as spacious as possible, around 150 sqm (1,615 sq ft).
The main focus is a generous living/dining area.
The living/dining area with kitchen in both units is open up to the ridge.
The ceiling height of the rooms is 265 cm (8 ft 8 in).
Due to space reasons, the office has now been moved to the gallery above the bedroom. There is a height of 2 meters (6 ft 7 in) and an area of 20 sqm (215 sq ft) with sloping ceilings, so only 12 sqm (130 sq ft) is usable. The rest of the attic remains storage space.
Unfortunately, the children’s rooms are relatively small [emoji53], but for my wife, it is important to have the front door exactly in the middle. The wall will get a slight projection to better highlight the gables.
(The total length of the front facade is 23.3 meters (76 ft 5 in).)
In the second unit, there is actually one bathroom too many, but it has to be that way. Okay.
The pantry will be enlarged, and the shower will be removed.
There is no room for a garage in this floor plan anymore. We have pushed the size to the maximum. It is not important for us anyway.
Oh, and there will be a fireplace near the staircase, as otherwise, the chimney would stick out too far above the roof.
The window in the upper floor will be removed and replaced by a Velux window in the roof, and the gables will be built up quite high.

Now I’m looking forward to your feedback on our bungalow floor plan – thank you

I’m a bit at a loss for words regarding these floor plans. After all, they cover about 146 and nearly 70 square meters (1571 and 753 square feet), but the kitchens are like dollhouses, not even big enough to fit tall cabinets.
There are walk-through areas next to the table, where a fireplace is supposed to be installed leading to the sleeping area.
However, the main entrance door of the larger apartment is centered.
Unfortunately, the site plan is missing as well.

Wow. Bedroom and bathroom without windows in the granny flat. Absurd.
The small kitchen in the main section is smaller than my guest toilet. And the long façade is not shown in the elevations...Full frontal view
Of course, the bedroom in the small apartment will have a window; that was just forgotten here. The bathroom has no window because otherwise the living area would become too small
(unfortunately, it has to disappear at the back)
The kitchen in the larger apartment is small, yes :-( Any suggestions?
The house front stays at that length, and the gable ends will be visible in the masonry
(for me, that looks very harmonious even with the long façade)
What I find negative:
Long house façade, with very uninspired window design.
Gable without windows looks unattractive at this height, rather “empty”...
Main apartment:
The layout of bedroom-bathroom-dressing room is very impractical. Always having to walk around the dining table... when one has guests, the other partner always has to pass by the visitors. There is no privacy or retreat. Goodbye to Tupperware parties and poker nights.
Children’s room next to the main terrace, hmm... Evening barbecues with friends without children will be hard to have.
Kitchen is way too small!!! Meanwhile, the bathroom is too large.
Suggestion for improvement: swap the kitchen with the bedroom, and swap the bathroom with the utility room, creating a space for wardrobes.
Secondary apartment:
For a retirement home, the entrance area is too narrow for my taste. I personally can live with a bathroom without a window, but the bedroom without a window is not considered a living room and therefore cannot be approved as such. Installing a window, as far as I know, would violate fire safety regulations (2 apartments/window distance of about 3 meters (10 feet) or similar).
Also, the apartment is dark most of the year because the sun does not reach the west-facing windows.
Positive: Danish architectural style. Gallery (although I have not yet considered the 3D effect and structural aspects). Nice entrance area.
