ᐅ Floor plan for a 140 sqm bungalow (hip roof)

Should the living room window (right wall) be floor-to-ceiling? That way, you get more sunlight in the afternoon. By the way, the cardinal directions are:
- top is south
- bottom is north, etc.

Due to the angle, no sunlight reaches that area, so you will always need lamps. Or actually daylight spotlights installed in the ceiling.

I agree with you regarding the sense of space. I will discuss this again with the boss.

I really like the counter, but not the open kitchen. Anything noisy is annoying in the living room. When you want to listen to music or watch TV, the loud background noise is very irritating.

I keep noticing that the men who call their wife “the boss” are the ones bothered by open kitchens, because the boss either works too loudly there, is always working, or apparently does unpleasant things in the kitchen while he (the man) is watching TV or listening to music.

I said there is potential for development toward quiet, odor-free work.
What else should the man be doing in the kitchen?
I was away for a while… has something changed in my wonderful life that I haven’t noticed yet?

Otherwise: The utility room, hobby room, and WC could be arranged differently so that the WC also has a window.
The bedroom layout could be changed along with the walk-in closet, which would be more advantageous. It would also be more practical to move the child's room to the back and have some space between the parents’ and child’s rooms. The closet arrangements in the hallway/foyer/entrance area (why this unnecessary space?) don’t seem logical to me, and if there are closets there at all, I would place the hallway closet closer to the entrance. Overall, I find the total area too large and unnecessary.
Also, making a full 360-degree turn to get to the pantry seems unnecessarily complicated.
The living room lacks a certain flair. The kitchen is not user-friendly, meaning it is not ergonomic.

Edit: Is the entrance supposed to be inviting through symmetry? I don’t think this has been achieved: you just end up looking at closet surfaces.

I’m not quite following: a redesigned entrance area – by the way, the example photo shows a completely different house style – would "raise the right section" and make the terrace "larger" – but wouldn’t it be the other way around? Also, the orientation is missing (the top of the plan is hardly north, as you wouldn’t usually roof a terrace there) – so it’s difficult to assess what larger windows in the dining area would achieve.

We have now received our first floor plan with an offer.

Waiting for 4-5 more offers, and then there will be a change to the entrance area. Let’s see how much this will cost.

mean that each provider submits their own floor plan–price combination into the mix (which is already mixing apples and oranges, so to speak) and then lets the project drift like a pedal boat blown by the lake wind during further refinement? Passive collection of offers is pointless and dangerous!
Ceterum censeo: perceived construction noise is significantly reduced if the wife of the boss actively participates in the work.

@11ant We are getting quotes based on the same floor plans to ensure a fair comparison. No mixing apples and oranges. Then, we create an Excel spreadsheet and evaluate objectively based on various criteria:
- Materials
- KfW 55 standard or higher
- Fixed price and construction time guarantees
- etc.
Part of the terrace (south side) will be covered. That doesn’t mean the terrace can only be in the upper right corner.

@ypg We can only build 14m (46 feet) wide, actually a bit narrower. This one is about 12.5 x 12.5m (41 x 41 feet). We will take a closer look though.
