ᐅ Bungalow, 10 meters wide... does anyone have pictures?

Hello,

we are considering building on a plot where, after accounting for the garage and setback from the property line, only 10 meters (33 feet) of width remain for the house. The entrance would also need to be positioned accordingly.

We especially like bungalows with a covered entrance area and columns, but I’m not sure if that style works well with a relatively narrow bungalow and whether the rooms can be arranged efficiently, since the hallway tends to be located centrally because of the front door. This is how it is in most of the houses we have seen so far, but those are usually much wider.

The plot extends 32 meters (105 feet) deep, so there is space to build towards the back.

Does anyone have pictures, links, or even better, have personally built something like this?

Attic floor:
- 2 children's rooms
- bathroom

Then it is not a bungalow. But it doesn't really matter what you call it: there are plenty of single-story houses that are less than 10 meters (33 feet) wide.

Well, basically a bungalow with a converted attic and a hip roof.

A bungalow is characterized by barrier-free living on a single level. ...

Why shouldn’t the children’s rooms be located under the hip roof?

You do see bungalows with finished attics from time to time. This way, the parents can still enjoy single-level living without any steps.

Does "garage and building setback" mean the garage(s) are wider than the required side clearance? – How much width do we have before these deductions?

I suspect you are caught in the idea of a specific building layout that isn’t as fixed as it seems. Often, a decisive solution, like removing the awkward connection door between the house and garage, can suddenly allow for a much better house design on the plot.

Using a bowling alley-shaped floor plan is not advisable.

Good morning.

Technically, it still remains a bungalow with a converted attic, doesn’t it? And if the development plan only allows bungalows, it does make a difference whether I have a bungalow with an attic conversion or a one-and-a-half-story house.

On the topic, we are also considering a bungalow about 16 x 10 meters (52 x 33 feet) (see here in the subforum).

Please provide a sketch of the plot or a site plan.
