Hello everyone,
after quietly reading for some time, I am now hoping for your help.
Almost three years ago, we bought and renovated a bungalow from the 1970s (not an energy-efficient renovation). Since the ground floor now meets our needs, it is time to focus on the attic.
And this is where you come in.
The attic is basically already developed, but not in the way we imagine it.
We want one bathroom with a shower, one master bedroom, and one or two children’s rooms.
Unfortunately, I don’t have dimensioned plans; the exterior measurements were taken from the ground floor plan. The other data were measured by myself and therefore are probably not 100% accurate.
I am mainly looking for creative input and ideas for the room layout. I have attached my first draft/idea.
Important details:
- Concrete ceiling
- Roof pitch 35 degrees
- Two wooden beams and the chimney/vent are fixed and cannot be moved (marked in white)
- Windows as they are
- Wastewater outlet located to the left of the stairs in the exterior wall
- The white lines outside are meant to mark the 1 meter (3 ft 3 in) line, which will become the new knee wall
- The roof shape surprised us somewhat because where the white line for the knee wall is drawn, the large roof is actually recessed into the smaller roof on the inside, which in my opinion makes the smaller roof less usable
What do you think of my idea? Is it feasible or not? Will the rooms/functionality work out well?
Do you have suggestions for improvements or maybe a completely different idea?

.. I find it unlikely that anyone can give you workable suggestions based on these illegible plans..That’s a pity. I specifically tried to draw it myself on graph paper because that is often criticized otherwise.
I have tried again to make it more legible. Is it better like this, or should I look for another app to draw it? As I said, I cannot provide 100% accurate measurements except for the exterior dimensions. Since many floor plans for new builds are also not dimensioned, I hoped this wouldn’t be a big issue for the general room layout. Otherwise, feel free to ask if anything specific is missing.
It’s not the graph paper that’s the problem, but I’m probably not the only one who can’t make sense of the restricted areas. A screenshot uploaded directly might be much clearer than a photo of a screenshot (or vice versa?), since the measurements there are unreadable. Photos of the actual situation could help clarify things. I’m always surprised how many people asking questions never consider that others can’t read their minds. Background knowledge can’t be transmitted telepathically. None of us participants have ever seen the house in person.

We other discussants have never seen the house in reality.I believe this is because people often don’t know which background information is needed. Although I have been dealing with this topic for some time, no matter how good the floor plan is, I often can’t imagine how it actually looks in reality.
I have added the 2-meter (6.5 feet) line.
And attached a picture of the ground floor.
The dashed line is the knee wall at about 1 meter (3.3 feet). The knee wall in the middle of the upper floor is there because the roof is also inside at that point.
What I forgot to mention is that the roof is likely a hip roof.
There is no real fireplace, but there is a three-flue chimney.
I did not draw the current state because everything is reversible and I assumed it’s not relevant.
The second picture is my first idea. As correctly noted, it was just photographed from the app, but you can’t easily see the measurements there either.
To explain, the partition wall between the bathroom and the master section is set in the middle of the wall, at about 4.50 meters (15 feet) on a 9-meter (29.5 feet) wall, between the windows, so that each room width up to the knee wall is about 3.5 meters (11.5 feet).
The bathroom is approximately 3 meters long (9.8 feet), so about 10 square meters (108 square feet) without the sloping ceiling area.
The dressing room is about 4 meters (13 feet) long, so about 12 square meters (129 square feet).
The bedroom is 3.70 meters (12 feet) long, roughly 11 square meters (118 square feet).
The children’s room extends across the entire width of about 7 meters (23 feet), and is around 5 meters (16.5 feet) wide at the wider end and 3.60 meters (12 feet) at the narrower end.
I hope I was able to clarify the picture a bit.
