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

They are positioned so that, for example, there is space for a bed on one side and shelf depth on the other. This is just a general guideline and a rough estimate.
If you need more room for furniture, then plan a house with stairs and an attic. It’s as simple as that.
Edit: If you design a house that is already bursting at the seams on the plan, then something is going wrong somewhere.

Edit: If you plan a house that is already bursting at the seams on paper, then something is being done wrong somewhere Your comment doesn’t quite add up, or do you really consider 16m² (170 sq ft) for a children’s room as "bursting at the seams"? I was simply addressing your quite reasonable point regarding the patio doors.
The original idea was actually a window with a seating bench (see attachment).
Also nice. I really like it! But it’s quite impractical for a children’s room.
16 sqm (172 sq ft) is already great.
However, I would only consider something like that in a large house, because this furniture offers little storage space but takes up a lot of room. On top of that, it’s more decorative than functional. It would be better suited for a big common area. It’s just like Pinterest, interior design magazines, and so on.
This isn’t a criticism of your house, but I mean it as I say it: design elements or furnishing ideas need to fit. No house can accommodate every idea or style. And your house isn’t large. I would rather see chairs or a pouf that can be moved aside to access the wall cabinets.
Many people plan to have a window on each exterior wall. How about a patio door opposite the room door and then a standard 100 cm (39 inches) wide window on the other side? You could also go for 80 cm (31 inches) wide, depending on the other rooms.

Since doors shouldn’t take up the theoretical width of a window, advice is needed on what width the doors should be planned. The general contractor plans for 1.12 meters (3 ft 8 in). Well, then you already have your width. Whether you position the opening sash centered, off-center, to the right, or to the left of the fixed glazing is a matter of personal preference.
