I would remove the angled wall. This will result in better room layouts in many areas.

I see it the same way. As is often the case, these designs are not cost-optimized. When you ask for a pricing of a plan, it’s common that those providing quotes only price what they see and leave out what they don’t. The first person to deliver the "bad news" (it will cost more) typically drops out of the running for the contract. From this dynamic and having an idea of current construction prices, I also think the costs will be significantly six-figure amounts over the sums currently being discussed. So what—if it remains affordable for the builders? I know people who have gone far beyond the initial six-figure estimates and don’t regret it one bit.
The polygonal areas on the ground floor and upper floor are interesting and can be used effectively or simply provide space to breathe—downstairs, a dining area can extend into this space, and upstairs it creates a nice communal play area for the children.
Whether 90° angles or not—the homeowners need to like it, and the neighbors shouldn’t be too upset, since a hostile neighborhood harms quality of life. I think the slight angle suits the plot well.
What I would still think further about are:
- the stairwell, which seems too narrow to me in relation to the otherwise generous size of the house
- the expected “quietness” in the study—how does that work in practice during summer with children and the garden?
- age-appropriate design or not—choosing the former would have some further implications
- does a bedroom facing a “busy” street function well?
- how we live with
- toddlers
- teenagers
- adult children still living at home
- working from home
- socializing and guests
Thanks, there are some good tips here for considerations.Vicky Pedia schrieb:
I find the floor plan interesting. However, the master bedroom definitely has more potential. Bed on the right, door on the left ... trying out different options Thanks, we will give it a try

Then I would combine the 45° angle with the garage into a “Y” shape.
Search tip, where in my opinion (for a bungalow) it is really well executed:
-> Rainer Roth Project VSB
The floor plan is on slide 4. I especially like how the garage is integrated with the entrance and the access through the angled corridor. The plot there is similar.
The property on the Schöner Wohnen website, “Family Bungalow with Airy Layout,” is presented in a slightly more polished way.Looks interestingI would use the angle differently. No, I would build without it and make it smaller.
Who needs such a large hobby room when there is a sewing room upstairs? Who needs a gym room that many fitness studios would be happy to have?
Kitchen facing the terrace. With one slope, the living room gets it; with another, the dining room.
Upstairs, remove the corridor and give the rooms some 90-degree angles; the sloped ceiling will become a gallery.
Upstairs, you have a bedroom without bedside tables, and even the choice of bed is limited. Not much fits into the utility room either because of the lack of 90-degree angles.
