Hello everyone,
I came across this forum and would like to share my floor plan with you.
To briefly explain my building project and myself: I am 28 years old, currently single, and no children are planned. It will be a bungalow because I simply like them and find them cozy. My total budget is fully used up at €330,000. Therefore, I am initially leaving out a carport, garden/tool shed, and landscaping.
A carport will be added later on the right side of the house.
I look forward to ideas or suggestions for improvement.
Please excuse my rough sketch, as I do not yet have a floor plan from the architect at this stage.

Development plan / Restrictions
Plot size: 736 sqm (7,922 sq ft)
Slope: no, about 40 cm (16 inches) height difference on the plot
Site occupancy index: 0.3
Floor area ratio: 0.6
Building envelope: not specified
Edge development: possible if without windows
Number of parking spaces: 1 parking space in front of the house + later a double carport
Number of floors: 1, bungalow
Roof shape: hipped roof with 25 degrees
Architectural style: modern
Orientation: north, see picture, front of house should be parallel to the street
Maximum heights / limits: eaves height max 5 meters (16 feet)
Other requirements: none

Open kitchen, kitchen island: open U-shaped kitchen
Number of dining seats: 4
Fireplace: no
Music / stereo wall: no

House design
Who planned it: mostly me
What do I like most? Why?
The overall layout—I have thought a lot and considered many aspects
What do I not like? Why?
I’m a bit worried it might be too small if a partner moves in (children are not planned)
Cost estimate according to architect/planner: €243,000 for technical completion, solid construction
Personal price limit for the house including fixtures: budget fully exhausted
Preferred heating technology: air-to-water heat pump without ventilation system

If you have to give something up...:
I think I’ve already given up everything non-essential 😀

Why is the design the way it is now?
The design is based on the budget. This is the maximum that could be achieved. That’s also why, for example, the carport will come later.

No idea where the street is. But even if it were at the top of the plan, I would design the house similarly, at least along that axis.

The street is to the right of the 24 on the plan. I have marked it in black.

Yeah, laugh. That’s how it was for me: the one who accepted it stayed.

Oh... I didn’t know that. You live with a former French person?

Then you clean before (and after) as well.

Two people will be able to share one toilet.

I’m a bit unusual. For me, the bathroom or toilet has to be doubled; the bathtub could go, and I could do without a carport—I’ve probably lived alone for too long 🤨

@Nida35a So far, there haven’t been any significant changes, except that I removed the recess around the front door and the entrance will now have a canopy 😀

The issue, well it’s not really an issue, is that the utility room is located at the bottom right corner because it’s closest to the connections on the property (for cost reasons). I haven’t been able to design splitting the utility room into two separate spaces in a way that would be better for me than the original layout. Actually, I don’t mind having one larger room.

A project I find very appealing!
With a very tight budget, I would try to have as much water and wastewater as possible running in a single pipe and close to the sewer line.
I would also aim to create long sightlines with reference points outside (garden boundary?) since the house won’t be very large.
Interior corridors could possibly include a light well. It costs under 1000 (approximately $1000) and can be easily retrofitted in a bungalow.
Yellow bag inside the house: The square meter (sqm) of the utility room is significantly more expensive than the same area in a garden shed. And is it really worth rinsing every yogurt cup before putting it in the bag just because of the smell? Final suggestion: red wine instead of beer.

Best regards,
Gabriele

Now we built together once again.

So, our hallway is dry :p
uh, that’s not something you want in the hallway. Princesses with a fondness for mud.

The one-bedroom apartment is suitable for a single person.
The house is fine for two people.
If the partner feels uncomfortable or if children are expected, you can extend, renovate, or sell.
