What is the most important/basic question about the floor plan summarized in 130 characters?

Floor plan is liked, are dimensions according to standards okay? Is the open space structurally feasible? Layout okay? Living area should be max. 140 m² (1,507 sq ft), which was challenging with 4 rooms.

Thanks in advance.

That makes sense, but unfortunately, we still need to include a study in the private area, which means we would have to go through the walk-in closet to get to the office. That is simply impractical.

That’s why I’m suggesting: have another design planned. Bungalows don’t have to be limited to these L-shaped corridors.

I agree ... a different design ... but at this point, a properly oriented site plan with measurements and access options would be relevant.

I also think more can be achieved here ... and why does the office have to be in the private area?

Terrace facing east-southeast

Aha. So where exactly is the terrace? Is it by the bedroom, in front of the bay window, or between the bay window and the living room?

Home office in the private area

And is there an “official” area as well? I’m a bit confused: the place isn’t that big that any part of it wouldn’t be private...
Also, I notice many questions directed at you remain unanswered.
What are the rooms on the lower right side of the plan?
Is the corner room supposed to be the utility room? If so, it’s too small. Too narrow. Far too small! If that’s meant for the washing machine and dryer, you wouldn’t be able to load them properly.
There’s no storage space for the vacuum cleaner, cleaning supplies, drinks, or trash at all.

The guest room? With two beds? Seems quite lifeless, too.
2.20 m (7 ft 3 in) width in the dressing room feels too narrow for me (not that I’m particularly big or anything).
On the other hand, the living area—the open-plan space—feels too much like a hall: from the sofa, you look directly into the kitchen, which could be arranged more cleverly. The space used here that’s needed in other rooms is excessive and unnecessary, even if the goal is to be generous. The latter can be achieved in other ways as well.

Scanhaus Marlow Marlow cannot fulfill our wish for an open space

I would rather call that an "open roof soffit." They probably didn’t understand it any more than I did – why is it requested specifically over about 60% of the dining room? What is the purpose there (with a gable roof and glazing, I would have understood it)? Still, did they explain why it can’t be done that way?

I also don’t quite understand that. Is it a room for tax paperwork, for correcting homework, or for consulting clients? In the last case, I would place it "minimally invasively" (meaning close to the entrance).

Now I understand the concept of the air space. In the elevation view, are those windows and not solar panels?

What type of heating system are you planning to use? Can you manage without solar energy?

We had a thread last week about the southern roof windows, where the original poster asked about thermal insulation. This is quite challenging for southern roof windows because it’s difficult to get the heat out of the house.

Our living room is open up to the roof, with a nice window below the gable. That provides enough lighting and effect. In summer, you need to be able to close the south side tightly. The temperature inside can quickly reach 27°C (81°F).
