Hello,
we are still in the planning phase and are having some difficulties progressing. Although the design is already quite good in many aspects, it doesn’t yet fully match what we envision.
The plan is for a bungalow of about 150sqm (1,615 sq ft). Having separate parents’ and children’s areas was important to us. The kitchen should be closed off, and there should be a covered terrace.

Development plan/restrictions
899sqm (9,676 sq ft)
slight slope
bungalow

Homeowners’ requirements
Rather Mediterranean style
No basement, bungalow
3 people, ages 36 / 29 / 3
150sqm (1,615 sq ft)
No office
Guest room/ironing room
conservative or modern architecture: We like to combine old and new
open kitchen, kitchen island: closed
Number of dining seats: Kitchen 3, dining area preferably 8–10
Fireplace: Yes
Balcony
Garage: Double garage with space

House design
Who created the design: Floor plan from us, implemented by a designer
What do you particularly like? Why?
What don’t you like? Why? We are not quite satisfied with the children’s room as the bed is in the wrong place, and we think a 1.40 x 2.00 meter (4.6 x 6.6 ft) bed should fit in there eventually.
The biggest problem at the moment is with the kitchen/living/dining area layout, as we can’t find a good position for the dining table. Somehow the table is always in the way however we turn it. If we swap the living and dining rooms, we then have problems with fitting the couch and TV wall unit.

Price estimate from architect/designer: 300,000
Personal price limit for the house, including fittings: 350,000
Preferred heating system: Gas heating with solar collectors on the roof for hot water

Plot number 18 is ours.

You are also welcome to point out any other mistakes or issues we might have made or incorporated. Best regards, Alex

Many baby monitors actually include a camera.
Whether it’s a camera or just audio, it’s more comforting to be at least somewhat close to the child.
I only meant that it’s worth considering this, otherwise the more anxious parent ends up sleeping in the office.

So, my nephew is now 2 years old and still sleeps in his parents' bed.

And? Is that great?
Many children sneak into their parents’ bed at night – some parents are happy about it, others are not.
However, the parents’ bed has to be found in a sleepy state. Sometimes the child takes a detour to the living room and ends up playing with scissors and fire…

No, seriously: forget it.

It's practical.

@ypg you're right. However, it depends on the child.

Well, how many years do you have to get up at night for the child, or does the child come into your bed, and how many years do you plan to live in the house overall? I don’t think the house design should be based on that.

The house needs to accommodate the children's area. Here, this is a limitation. You spend many more years living as a couple than as a family of three in the house.
A bungalow still has a roof where teenagers can have their own space.
