Hello everyone,

we are currently planning an L-shaped bungalow with the following details.
--> It would be great to get some critical feedback on our current (own) design (Image 1).
This design is based on the Town & Country Perfect 111 bungalow (see Image 2).
Due to the specified roof pitch and roof shape, there will likely be an attic space – so far, I am unsure what the best use for it might be.

Thank you very much!

Development plan/restrictions
Plot size: 540 sqm (5800 sq ft)
Desired living area: 120 sqm (1300 sq ft)
Slope: none
Number of floors: L-shaped bungalow
District heating
Underfloor heating
Technical room and pantry combined – accessible from both sides
Roof type: gable roof (mandatory) 30-45 degrees
The gable orientation of the main gable is unfortunately predetermined (long side, see site plan, Image 3)
No basement, bungalow
Number of residents: couple currently with one child (0 years old)
Garage or carport with roof facing the entrance
A well-accessible bicycle storage would be important for us
Building site in Baden-Württemberg (BW)

Thank you very much!

The electrical installation itself probably doesn’t require much space, but you need to keep 1.2 m (4 feet) of clearance in front of it.

Where will the small network cabinet be installed? Also in the utility room?
Okay, thanks.
As of now, we don’t need a network cabinet.

Yes, I think it’s terrible.
How is the building positioned on the plot now? Where are the bicycles and the carport located?

I’m fine with you wanting a bungalow, but then at least build one with a 30° (30°) pitched roof. But please put the technical room upstairs in that case.

The carport is used as a cover for the side entrance. There is a bike shed next to it.

I welcome opinions. Terrible in what sense?

We just want to spend everyday life on the ground floor. 112 m² (1,206 sq ft) on the ground floor is enough for us.

Which everyday life? Yours or your children’s?
I don’t see any privacy for everyone in that house. It would be easy to get on each other’s nerves.

Noted, thank you. Sometimes you only get wiser through experience, but we think it will work. There would still be some extra space in the attic if the children are, say, over 10 years old.
We currently live in 69 m² (740 sq ft).

Well, at least a proper patch panel, which is a bit deeper than a simple circuit breaker, is necessary. Having no network distribution at all is quite outdated nowadays, and the messy bundle of cables sprouting around a "router" actually takes up more space.

Ok, thanks. I will have to think about that more carefully. I'm actually an IT specialist... but I just wanted everything wireless to avoid the cabling.
