Hello,
I am sharing the floor plan as we have developed it. Perhaps there are some suggestions?
The dimensions are interior room sizes, with a wall thickness of 10 cm (4 inches) assumed. Depending on the actual wall thickness, adjustments will be necessary.
Plot size: 1200 sqm (12,917 sq ft)
Slope: no
Floor area ratio / plot ratio: unknown, but not important
Building permit / planning permission, building line and boundary: there is no development plan; the new house will stand where our current house is (only the distance to the neighbor must be increased to 3 m (10 feet)), which according to the responsible building authority is no problem
Edge development: no
Number of parking spaces: garages already exist and will remain
Number of floors: bungalow, single story
Roof type: gable or hip roof
Style?
Orientation: roof facing east-west
Other constraints: the plot is only about 16 m (52 feet) wide, so the house must not be wider than about 10 m (33 feet) in this direction
Homeowners’ requirements
Style, roof type, building type: bungalow, preferably gable roof
Basement, floors: no basement, only 1 floor, storage room in the attic
Number of occupants, age: 2 persons, 55 and 58
Space needs on the ground floor: about 100 sqm (1,076 sq ft)
Office: family use or home office: no
Overnight guests per year: 2 grandchildren occasionally, father occasionally
Open or closed layout?
Conservative or modern construction: rather conservative
Open kitchen, cooking island: open kitchen
Number of dining places: 4
Fireplace: yes, definitely
Music/sound system wall: no
Balcony, roof terrace: no
Garage, carport: already existing
Utility garden, greenhouse: garden already established
House design
Designed by:
- Do-It-Yourself, created based on various templates
What do you like most? Why?: large window front on the south side with direct access to the garden
What do you not like? Why?
- Corner in the hallway between utility room and bedroom, but the hallway should remain large to avoid bumping into each other and to have enough space for motorbike gear,
- I would prefer the fireplace positioned more in the corner between kitchen and living area, but that conflicts with neighbor distance regulations and emissions protection
Price estimate according to architect/planner: initial offers are around €190,000 for about 110 sqm (1,184 sq ft), but changes are still needed
Personal price limit for the house, including fittings: should not exceed €200,000 plus additional construction costs; equipment is already taken care of
Preferred heating system: gas condensing boiler, since gas supply is already connected
If you had to give up anything, which details/expansions
- Could you give up: nothing
- Cannot give up: underfloor heating, large window front, fireplace
Why did the design turn out as it is?
All wishes were implemented as far as possible
What is the most important/basic question about the floor plan in 130 characters?
Is there anything that doesn’t work at all? Any room for improvement? What would you do differently? Where could it be optimized?

There is actually no fixed staircase planned, only a folding ladder. That’s why you are being encouraged in time to find a different solution.

Can you tell me where I can find their floor plans? Both have so many posts, I can’t possibly go through them all. The floor plan from @Nordlys is here: https://www.hausbau-forum.de/threads/Grundriss-Bungalow-140-qm.24628/#post-208553, and the one from @Steffi33 – oops, the staircase isn’t visible there at all (?)

The floor plan is no longer completely up to date.. The final result is this floor plan.. Which I still find very nice, although here I only wanted to recommend to @motorradsilke the utility room–staircase–attic solution, and otherwise her bungalow will be smaller and therefore not easily comparable as a whole.

Here is also a photo of the utility room with the staircase to the (unheated) attic.. I assume after going up you just closed the door again so it wouldn’t be visible, but what you can see on the left is the enclosed staircase (which Karsten has something similar to). Does this "stairwell" have a skylight? It looks quite bright.

Does this "stairwell" have a skylight?Yes.. mainly because of the gain in headroom.. otherwise, you would have bumped your head on the sloped ceiling. These kinds of “ideas/solutions” were found quite spontaneously during the construction phase together with our home builder. The manager was always ready to find solutions.. that’s what made building fun 🙂

Do you have a heated attic? And is the roof insulated? So far, we have only been offered unheated (cold) roofs.
Can you tell me where I can find your floor plan? I insulated the roof myself afterward, which really helps. It cost around 1400 euros and some effort.
