Hello,
we have finalized the floor plan for our project and tried to incorporate feedback/criticism from the previous thread. A new thread was also necessary to include relevant information in the initial post.
Development plan/restrictions
Plot size: 1000 m² (10,764 sq ft)
External dimensions of the house: 16 m x 9.5 m (52.5 ft x 31.2 ft) (these were specified by the construction company to stay as close as possible to the budget)
Slope: No
Number of parking spaces: 0
Number of floors: Bungalow
Roof type: Hip roof, gable roof, or shed roof
Orientation: Entrance on the east, living room facing west, dining room facing southwest
Additional requirements: Must blend in with the existing building
Utility connections: Electricity and wastewater/water connections come from the driveway on the west side
Client requirements
Number of people, ages: 4 people (2 x 40 years, 2 x 3 years)
Office: In the outbuilding
Guests per year: Maximum 2
Open or closed layout: Open
Conservative or modern architectural style: Either
Open kitchen, kitchen island: Probably U-shaped kitchen, open to alternatives
Number of dining seats: Possibly 2–4 casual spots in the kitchen; otherwise 6–8 in the dining room
Fireplace: Yes, as a room divider between dining and living room
Garage, carport: On the driveway
House design
Who designed it:
- Based on the bungalow 131 floor plan from Town & Country
- Design planned independently using RoomSketcher
What do you particularly like? Why?
- Room layout (size)
- Room divider between kitchen, dining room, and living room (L-shape)
- No hallway
- Open area as a transition space between kitchen and living room
Cost estimate from architect/planner: 215,000
Personal budget limit for the house, including fittings: 250,000
Preferred heating system: Air-to-water heat pump (either Vaillant aroSplit or Vaillant FlexoCompact)
Why is the design as it is now?
- Dissatisfaction with the designs created in the old thread

Did you really mean that none of the windows in the house can be opened? Seriously? Are they all fixed glass?
What about the second emergency exit in that case?
For me, that would be a no-go, and I can only agree with @11ant.
By the way, in my bathroom, the lower half of the floor-to-ceiling window is fixed glass with decorative glass.
Size shouldn’t be an issue, maybe a double casement window would work well.

I don’t see any issue with the size, possibly a double-sash window and that would be fine.I actually didn’t want a double-sash window, so that’s why I’m asking about alternatives (other than fully fixed glazing). Decorative glass is a good idea—do you happen to have a photo here on the forum?
I don’t have a photo, but the glass is called Madras Uadi White.
You can look it up online and find plenty of images. The pattern reminds me of branches on a tree – I really liked it.
I have the same glass in the window panel of the front door and the bathroom door, as well as a full glass door in the living room. I wanted all the “decorative glass” in the house to match perfectly.

The windows will all be fixed glazing, 40cm (16 inches) above the floor, 180cm (71 inches) high, 190cm (75 inches) wide. :eek _O
